Anyone got a pic of BFG KO2 275/70R17 on your 4R without lift?

I could only find 275's in E rating... recently installed a set. Ditto on mileage (~18mpg). Great tire with no lift.

stock rims won't come close to lining up with the fender without spacers. Even with 275's, your stock rim/ tire combo will look a little sunk in.

It's a little difficult to tell, but here's my 275/70 next to my cousin's TRD Pro on 265/70. Both stock suspension.
Mine (on right) is on SR5 suspension, cousin (left) on KDSS.
Are you in a Walmart parking lot ?
I swear I been there before !
2016 Trail Edition with KDSS and stock suspension.
The wheels are FN Fx Dark Gloss Metal with 275 K02. Unfortunately, they look WAY better in person than on pictures.
I had to move the fender forward (took 10 minutes) and reshape the mud flap with a heat gun since I wanted to keep those.
It still rub a LOT on the front bumper plastic while going in reverse and turning. I am still debating if I will cut the bumper plastic a bit or go for a 2 inches lift. No way I can leave it that way, it rubs too often.
As a one liner, if you aim putting 275 K02 on your stock suspension 5th gen 4Runner, it will rub more or less ... expect some trimming. Do not get discouraged since it is really easy to do though. The compliments on my truck started raining the day I did install that wheels/tires combo.
I do not care about the E rating of those tires. They feel AWESOME.
ps: I got my TRD vinyl installed on the center cap but they are not on these pictures. I will try to post a new picture soon. They look quite good.

Yeah, you're right. I've since looked at the offsets of some of the people who've posted. The stealth 6's, for instance, are 1.5" wider with a 25mm difference in offset (if staying at 17"), which brings them out a tad over 2 inches.
Though, when I measured with a level, the edge of my tire on stock wheels is only inset from the edge of the fender about 1", so 275's would be, in theory, about halfway there, plus the KO2's are meatier tires than the Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires I bought the truck with.
I'm probably going to stick with 265s, avoid spacers, and change the offset with aftermarket wheels.

Almost, but not really. It's at The Hat pastrami restaurant in Socal. :bluejump:
First post/reply on T4r!
Just purchased a new 2017 sr5 premium. Very stoked on my first self-bought new 4runner. About 5 days and 100 miles into owning this truck I put on 275 ko2s, and about an hour after I picked it up I took it on a short road trip and camped. No rubbing whatsoever! You can feel the weight of the tire, but beyond that there's nothing really different that the stock Duelers (as far as drive quality goes). Drives smooth on the highway at high speeds, noise isn't bad at all.
This is the first of many upgrades to come, hope to share them all with you here

Damn, these look fantastic. I ordered the 265/70/17C to go on a set of the TRD SEMA. Tires are supposed to arrive tomorrow, but I'm thinking I want the 275s now!
265C is only rated to 112 and the stock tires are 113, so I don't even know if Costco will install them. If not, they're awesome and could get a full refund and get the 275s instead. But that's also 10lbs extra per wheel for the 275s ....
On the stock AT20s I'm getting 20.6mpg over the first 1K miles.
Anyone chalk tested pressures for the KO2s 275s? I was running 46/47 psi on the C rated 265 KO2 on my Taco and I would have thought the E rated 275s would be a lot higher?

Your cousin's Pro has KDSS?

Glad to see that there is a chance that if I do decide to upgrade to the 275 KO2s that I may not rub on the TRDP. I have read that the TRDP wheel is the main cause of the rubbing compared to the TE wheels. However, do you all think that the aftermarket suspension of the TRDP comes into play at all when trying to fit the 275s in? Just seems like the TRDP wheel with the suspension should negate any rubbing issues. However, in the future with a spacer lift from toyotec, there would be no rubbing at all. Am I correct in saying this? (Anyone have input with 275s, TRDP Wheel, Toyotec Spacer Lift, Spidertaxx spacer?)

Here's my 2017 SR5P with the BFG 275/70R17 on the TRD Pro Wheels and no lift. I have zero rubbing even on rough trails. I'm probably going to end up with the Bilstein 5100 set at 1.75 w/ a 1" rear spacer. Also considering spidertrax. Anybody have a similar setup? I'd love to see pics. It seems like most of the old pictures people have posted have gotten removed with the whole photobucket deal.

Just wondering but what's the best place to purchase 275/70R/17 BFG KO2s? [emoji848]

Discount Tires if you have one locally, they priced match 4WheelParts price and additional tax payback discount of $50. They also gave me 180 bucks for my old tires. Cant go wrong. I payed a bit over $800 mounted and balanced as well as their Certification for repair/replacement.

That seems like a pretty good deal. Do you know what their policy is for buying your old tires when you buy new tires from them? I have a set that came on my 4runner that are about 4 months old. Would love to get into some KO2s.

I'm sure they will work with you, my factory duelers had good tread life left when I traded in for my Ko2s. You may get close to $200 or so!
