Largest tire "sizes" for stock 17" rims???

So just wondering as I dont want the thread Nazis all over me. But so am I right in saying on a completely stock 4runner I would be ok with putting 255/75/17 and they would clear the wheel well/body/UCA all around? Again would love some input so as I dont have to start another thread and plan on getting tires soon.

I am running 3" with 255-75-17 BFG MT's with perfect clearance. Still kept my mudflaps too.
 
Yes you would be fine. There are tons of threads/pics on this very subject so search around. I started one when I put them on my now recently deceased T4R.


Thanks I thought I saw it somewhere, but couldn't find it again. Hopefully will have them on my next month.
 
As stated I was looking making sure it would fit on a STOCK vehicle NOT one with a 3" lift.

Yes they do. Search the size with GYSA and you ill see pics of a red 4runner.

The narrowness allows you to keep everything without trimming.


gYSA = good year silent armour tires.
 
If I were to go with a 2.5" or 3" lift would it look ok with tires and size tires I have now? I went with the 265-70-17's.

Would you go with the 2.5" or the 3" spacer lift? I just wont to know which will look better and go better with the new tires I just bought.

I am think of going with one one of these which is optional in ether 2.5" or 3"

3" lift / leveling kit for FJ & 4Runner - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits

or ether the Daystar 2.5" spacer lift.

Daystar™ - Driven by Design

Thanks

My brother had a spacer lift. It looked good but rode like crap. Consider eibach springs rather than a spacer lift on the front.

Do you plan to do actual off-roading? If so, will a lot of flexure be required?

If you are doing this strictly for looks, then just get the smallest Daystar lift.

I have the Cornfed rear and part of the front spacers I'm about to sell. Just gotta get the front off my old coilovers.

I do mostly 95% daily driving and when I do go off road not really any flexing. Just basic small off road ruts and what not. Nothing to technical. I just like the piece of mind of nothing racking the bottom and also it looks better.

This is mostly for looks and I think the 2.5 would do good I guess.

Why are you selling your Cornfed? And are you saying your leaving the rear on but taking the front off? Confused here sorry. And if you are taking them off then why?
 
Eibach springs will give u 1.6 inch lift and if u want more get 5100s and set them at the 1st setting (.85). But don't go any higher with these shocks, it will ride really rough. This will give u 2.45 inch lift. Are u a 4x4? If so u will need a diff drop. All of this is easy to install. I've herd u can buy the shocks already installed to with the springs, and u just gave to take yours off and put the new ones on. U will need an alignment after the install, and yes u will still be in spec for an alignment, no uca needed!

I am selling the front and rear 3/2 spacers set made by Cornfed. Normally they are 3" front, 2" rear, but because I'm missing the smaller pieces on the front, they are more like 2.5 front. My truck was level when I had them on. I took them off because I installed the Overland Warehouse 2.5" full suspension.

Am also selling my SpiderTrax wheel spacers after my new rims get installed this weekend.

Thoughts on spiderTrax? Why are you taking them off, what size?
 
Tire alternatives

I'm adding 2" of lift to my front (leveling kit) only, 2008 SR5 4.0L. I know I can do 265/70R17 w/o the lift. Can I go to 285/70R17 without lifting the rear? I want to keep the stock wheels. If it is a choice between 255/75R17 and 265/70R17, which looks better?
 
My 06 SR5 17" stock rim option can fit 265/70r17 Toyo Open Country AT3 without rubbing at all. Fills the wheel wells nicely and tires stick out slightly more on the sidewall. No need for spacer or lift. apparently if you have the 17" toyota rims the wheel well liners are already pushed back about an inch compared to the 16" rims.
