I have the LTX MS2s on my 13 Limited with stock wheels, and I have no rubbing issues.
The chart is only a general reference... you should probably also look at the manufacturer's specs for actual fitment on 7" width for the tire you are contemplating. Last I checked there were only 3 tires in 275/55/20 that are ok'd for 7" width.
Hey im new here, i like those stickers!! How can I get a few?? I have a question. I mounted OLD MAN EMU medium suspension kit 2.5" on my 5th gen limited 4runner, but I think I need new tires, stock ones look so little and inside body. What can you guys recommend?? I want to keep my 20" stock wheels and I don't want to cut mudguard in case the size of the tire rubes!!! Any info will be appreciate!!

You'll like these, I've been running them since last spring. They are great road tires, do very well in the wet and snow.
Ahhhhh I can't do the math. Well at least I think I can but I don't see the problem. I have a 2014 Trail but for some reason tirerack does not show this wheel as being compatible.
Ultra X-Lok 102-7883SB+01 Black 17.0 8.50 6X139.7
17" wheel, 8.5 width, +1mm offset. There's no backspacing dimension listed.
Is there anything obvious about those dimensions that would make someone say there's no way it will fit? Look at throwing 285/70/17s on these.

I just got a 2014 Trail and I want to get the 17" x 8" TRD rims (not the new 17" x 7" ones everyone is raving about) and throw some 285/70/17r on them. Stock height, no lift. I am sure there will be some rub but, anybody have a set up similar to this and can tell me me how much rub there is going to be? Am I doomed to chop my rig or forced (oh the inhumanity!) to lift my 4R to fit these tires? Any help would be appreciated!

That's why I made the "Will It Rub?" color yellow. Depends on what tire you run, what alignment spec you have, what the new wheel offset is etc. Believe it or not everyone's 4Runner is a bit different, hence adjustable alignment bolts. I can say you will rub. Depending on everything else, you might have to move the inner liner forward, you might have to trim the mud flap, you might have to trim the front cover a bit, and if you really are bad you might have to do a body mount chop. None of these things are hard but you will have to do something. Even if you lift you have to do these things. Don't want to do anything? Stop at 275.
Thank you 1engineer. I'll probably go with the 285/70/17r on the 17" x 8" TRD rims (zero off set) and take my chances. My Tacomas would fit a 285 no problem. Sad to hear the 4Runners are not the same. 
I'll update with my experience with putting these on!
Looks like ThrillSeekr has a similar set up to what I am looking for and only has minor rubbing at full lock.
So an update on this. I chose to go with the TRD rims that were 17" x 7" when I found out the 17" x 8" was a two piece rim. So glad too because they look awesome. With that said I went with some Goodyear MT/Rs 275/70/r17 instead of the 285/70/r17 because the Goodyear rep said that size would definitely rub. He also stated the 275/70/r17 would rub when the tire is up in the wheel well and turned. He was right. However, there is very minor rubbing. At the present moment, everything else is stock. Here is a picture just for fun!

I just had 275/70/17 Firestone Destination AT's installed on my TE with stock wheels. I do have a little bit of lift with FJ TT coils and shocks (Bilstein HD) and small front spacer. I am getting just a little bit of rubbing at full turn (backing out of driveway). I guess I will need to do a little trimming. I am thinking about wheel spacers (hate how far they are tucked in). Not sure if wheel spacers will make rubbing worse or better.

They will make the rubbing worse.
Ok, thanks. Haven't looked at it yet, just heard it this morning. Found Harper's thread on moving the liners, hopefully that is all that is needed.

So this question is best served here. Considering trading my stock size Cooper ST Maxx for 255/80/17 ST Maxx. My question is not whether it will rub (hell the stock size rub the fender liner now). My question is that going with the 255s will I need aftermarket UCAs and maybe a body mount chop or can I get by with stock UCAs? I really really don't like things squeaking on the truck so I kept stock UCAs with my 2" Toytec boss lift and everything aligned within parameters without issue (cause it's stock size tires), BUT I am running stealth SR8s now which is 17x8.5 -10 offset not the 17x7 stock wheel. I don't want to cut the mud flap too much but again. Don't mind doing that. Just don't want squeaky after market UCAs (if I do to UCAs, only ones I've considered are the Camburg with Moog joints, heard about too much squeaking with LR and anything uniball). Thanks in afvNce guys.
Hello all, new to the forum as I just bought my first truck...a T4R Limited. I know that the Bridgestone Duelers that come stock on it are not great winter tires...past experience. I am looking to put on some Goodyear Duratrac's and want to go to a bigger size. I live in Wisconsin and the snow is just around the corner...so it's time to get this change made. My question is how big can I go without making any serious modifications. These may get made in the future but I would like to keep things stock for now. The 275/55 20's look to be a safe choice. Also wondering about 20 inch vs 18 inch wheels and what the advantages are to both. Have not committed to the Goodyears yet so any endorsements of other tires are welcome...mostly hwy with a little bit of off road and lots of snow. Thank you everyone, great forum and glad I found it!:bravo:

Hello all, new to the forum as I just bought my first truck
275/55r20 is as big as you can go without any rubbing issues! The main advantage with 18 inch wheels for these LE 4runners is the tire selection. You will likely have 2 to 5 times more options when shopping for tires that way. As far as performance goes; you will have a higher tire sidewall with 18'' rims which is marginally better for off-roading. When driving on the roads, the 20'' wheel and tire will have a more stiff and shorter sidewall which helps a little bit more with handling, it is more noticeable during turns. As far as endorsing a tire. My suggestion which is based on where you reside. I would suggest having a set of winter tires for winter and a summer tires for well.... you guessed it summer. Any snow tires with the snowflake symbol on them will handle much better in the cold than any A/T tire out there. I will personally recommend the Bridgestone Blizzak's for the winter. If you are interested in the duratracs, I would also take a look at the cooper st maxx's! They are a hybrid AT / MT tire like the duractrac, but better looking in my opinion. Good luck

There is really only one way to find out. Install everything and align (each truck is a little different). If you can't get enough + caster for your liking you will need aftermarket UCAs. My truck was fine with stock wheels/UCAs and 285 17s on a 3" lift. But then it felt really unstable on the hwy with the 17x8 wheels and same size tires (but more aggressive tread). The caster was within toyota spec, but it was not a comfortable drive. I went with the camburg uni balls and that solved it. The aftermarket UCAs (like the camburgs) bias the upper ball joint rearward a little compared to stock (which gives it more + caster).
