Replaced the ATX Artillery wheels and Cooper LTZ tires with Method Race Wheels and Toyo Open Country M/T 295/70/17
What are your specs on the wheels? Backspacing/Offset and did you have any body rubbing?
I have gone to an aftermarket bumper and am ready for the body mount chop. I may have a line on getting Methods for cheap due to rally involvement. I plan on running 285/75/17.
TIA!

SAR,
The wheels are 17 x 8.5, the backspacing is 4.75 with 0 offset. The body mount chop is a must because you'll definitely rub there. You'll also have to lose the mud flaps front and rear. A body lift will help but if you stuff the suspension on full compression you may still get some rubbing.

Thanks! this helps a lot. I have been looking at a bunch of different wheels and none are really built for what I want to do, short of Methods...

I love the attention to detail, all your mods look so well thought out and placed perfectly. Not just a bunch of parts thrown in a rig like a lot of people do. Awesome rig man!
How did you mount the monitor?

[MENTION=131434]erik619[/MENTION] I used a plastic L bracket and velcro'd it to the side of the console. No holes or permanent mods to the console and it hasn't moved in 6 years.

If I may ask - what did you do to get those tires to fit? I am dying to get those specific tires on my 4runner but I am worried about rubbing. I have 285/65-18 right now and they are damn close to rubbing already.

it's all a perfect storm - right lift, right offset wheel, etc. With 295's, its the width that's hard. Dawgrunner has one of my favorite all time 4runners, so fresh and so clean.
For what its worth, I had a buddy with a lifted Tacoma throw on 295's, he ended up losing his rear fenders due to the horrible rubbing with SCS F5's
Sometimes you're better off with a narrower tire - I went 285/75/17 easy peezy. Taller anyway

[MENTION=111216]hobosapien[/MENTION] [MENTION=44999]HOJeepster[/MENTION] pretty much summed it up right there. All that he mentioned played a role in that "perfect storm". Wheel offset/BS plays a bigger role than many realize. I was lucky in that the Methods have the perfect offset/BS for our 4Runners. Of course, the aftermarket bumpers, body mount chop and hammering back the rear pinch welds helped out too.
