I originally bought 265 KO2’s on the OEM wheels. Got the Ray10’s but didn’t want the 265s to go to waste. Going to roll on them for another 10k miles then go to 275 or 285s. Still debating.
Wheel specs- 17x8.5 / 4.3” BS / -10mm offset. Very slight rubbing in reverse at full lock.

Worse than stock tires if that’s your concern.
It will only get worse and worse as they wear out.

Had them for 30,000km no issues good for the East Coast wet messy weather we get.

After switching from 30k miles Duelers I did not notice BFG KO2 to be worse on wet. Had the same amount of traction control kick in. But the quality of ride improved a lot. Much smoother ride same road noise.
On the other hand after I switched from Michelin M/S LTX I had on my Tacoma the KO2 are a bit more slippery than Michelin. On the wet pavement I had more wheel spin on KO2 than I had with Michelin. Comfort of ride (smoothness and road noise) did not change.
I'd think that for the comfort and traction Michelin will be the best, but they don't like to be off road especially on sharp rocks or mud or snow. So they are great for highway and mall crawling. For what I'm doing (no serious off-road, just dirt roads and off the road across open fields) KO2 are the best fit.
I have the same 4R, but Silver. Those tires and your rig look awesome! Could I ask what the cost is for a TRD Pro suspension? Everytime I get on this forum to research the prices are all over the place. Did you get the dealer to do it for you before you took delivery? Did the dealer or a third party do it after you bought it? I am a neewb to 4R (after 3 jeeps) and just wondering how you went about it. Thanks, Chris.
Love this look

Mine - doesn't really qualify as "stock" suspension as I swapped out with the TRD Pro suspension. But...close enough looks-wise:

Ive had these tires for about 15k and never once had a problem in rain or snow. Im constantly up and down the mountains and not one issue.
I put it on around 8k miles. The suspension kit is part number PTR13-35140. It's actually the TRD kit for the FJ, but it fits nicely on the 4Runner. The problem, though, is that you'll be lucky to find it anywhere - the set is discontinued. I got it for ~$500, but if you find one these days it'll likely be on ebay for a fair bit more. Check this thread and you may find some people who bought the kit and then decided not to put it on their rig - you may be able to pick one up cheap. As far as installation, I know a couple of guys at the local 4 Wheel Parts place and they did the install for another ~$500 including alignment. It's hard to describe exactly *why*, but the ride is definitely better IMO. The biggest plus is the nose-diving that happens if you barely touch the brake pedal is gone.
