Anyone have pics BFG KO2s 265/70/17 stock rims no lift?

[Jivewalker]

Don't have a pic but I've got about 60k+ on my KO2's in 265. I think I'll get another 10k out of them. As long as you raise the pressure to meet your vehicle weight and rotate them every 5k they have been great. If you don't run the right pressure and rotate them, they will cup and get loud.

I'm thinking KO2 265/70/17 is the right move for me as well on my new 2021 TRD ORP.

1) replace stock 15mm offset sliver wheels with new 4mm offset TRD PRO Matte Black Wheels Matte Black.

2) replace stock BridgeStone Duller tires with BFG KO2s 265/70/17 load C.

Can anyone tell me how far out of the wheel well this setup protrudes, or maybe it is still going to be sunk into the wheel well like the stock setup - the stock setup has the outside edge of the tire about and inch in from the outside edge of the rig. Does anyone run a wheel spacer kit with this setup?

My immediate needs are good freeway driving, good snow driving, ability to handle easy to moderate off-road, and looking a lot better than stock. Over time I'll be adding weight and I don't want to do suspension work until I know what I'm adding and also learn more about suspension options - there are SO many options. I love that, but a suspension do-over would be costly and probably frustrating.

I wish I could get 275/70/17 KO2 in a C load, but only E are an option and I don't need/want E. I don't want to jump to 285 KO2 without a good lift and I'm just not ready to take the plunge today but I really want to get some KO2s on there so I feel better about driving in snow in the coming weeks.

Look at my build for photos.
I didn’t take the measurements you ask about, but the setup is the same as you mentioned.

Seems like a solid plan, as I did the same thing in 2018.

It doesn’t protrude at all. The front still seems a little sunken in but KO2 tires have an aggressive sidewall so it looks decent. Some of my close colleagues thought it was lifted but I assured them it was not.

You can get away with running the popular 1.25’ spacers but might have to trim the front bumper and tuck a bit with possible rubbing in full lock. Or maybe not YMMV. My biggest concern was having the dealership techs over-torque them while the 4runner was under the free oil change schedule. I always carry a torque wrench with me but freedom of mind trumped the minor aesthetic for the time being.

I think you’re pretty spot on with what to expect from this setup. As for lifts, no matter how affordable the suspension parts are (spring/ strut combo) you have to factor in time and alignment so you’re right: it is costly however you look at it. You’re better off enjoying the stock setup while you can; make sure there are no drivetrain issues with your brand new truck, despite Toyota 4runners having a pretty solid track record.

I went through the same process and have no regrets. The lack of C load 275 KO2 (at the time) and the slightly bigger diameter, exacerbating the look of the stock forward rake, ruled out the size-up for me.

Moving to bigger tires now but anticipating a slew of adjustments (trimming etc.) due to the more aggressive offset aftermarket wheels. I will always appreciate the carefree miles I had with a 265/70 setup. A good tire makes all the difference.

Thanks Snowtrooper! Really appreciate all the input to my longwinded newb post.

Thanks Saker, that pic angle is exactly what I was looking for!

I pulled the trigger on 265/70/17 KO2 C upgrade last week, along with replacing the silver wheels. Thanks again for the guidance guys. Very happy with them so far.

Rotate them in the proper way every 5K and they will last. I've got 65k or so on mine now and just starting to think about replacing soon. I'm sure it will take me another 5k to get off my lazy butt and do it.

265/70r17 on stock suspension.

 

[Ben84]

I'm considering the 265/70/R17 with load range C. I saw that the load index is 112 but the T4R is 113. Any problems with that?

Everyone of my videos!!! Or on my Instagram [MENTION=95539]SirWilliamGoes[/MENTION] im running general atx now but previous was ko2

What do you mean by "load index of T4R is113? I did calculation for my 4R based on these tires numbers and weight put on each tire. The correct tire pressure at GWR is 37psi (the KO2 C max pressure is 49psi so it is way below what tire can handle). Because I am not driving at GWR I dropped pressure to 35psi which gives smooth ride and still able to load heavy stuff in my trunk.

[MENTION=113429]RysiuM[/MENTION] Sorry, I meant the recommended load index from Toyota is 113. I'm a total n00b and just don't want to put the wrong one

Not exactly. Limited trims come with 107 load rated tires. 265 C KO2s are fine.

Swapped out to OEM tires for stock size KO2’s when I picked up my ORP in August of 2016. They look great. In fact I have had a number of people tell me how great the tires look on the truck. At ~ 87k I replaced them with a new set of KO2’s but only because it was November. (Dealer told me they could have gone another 10k).

Never had s problem with traction on wet roads, in snow, on ice, in sand, or mud or over rocks. I rotated every 5k, that’s it. Before getting my 17 ORP I put ~ 285k on my 02 SR5 and tried several different tires. By far the KO2’s have been the best tire I have ever had in terms of traction and life.

thanks for the input on the k02, think this is the route ill be taking

No worries. If you are all stock you can't go wrong with KO2 C-load. Actually I dumped my still good stock Duelers for KO2. BFG is Michelin, and you can't go wrong with Michelin. Very soft and grippy, but tough on rocks and harsh terrain.

The only thing that I see worse comparing to Michelin LTX (I used to have them on Tacoma for many years) is wet road gripping. The rubber is harder so it slides easier on the wet road. But still better than A/T tires from many other brands. For sure they are better than original Duelers installed by factory.

I can also tell that KO2 are better on a pavement than Goodyear Wrangler, which I used to have on Isuzu Rodeo years back. They were terrible noisy, bouncy and sliding easy even on a dry pavement. Never again.
