[MENTION=119356]fiore[/MENTION] looks great, thinking about the 17x9 -12 as well, can you take a good shot along the side and show where they stick out too? Wondering how far compared to my stock sports with 1.25 spacer!

Thanks! I absolutely love them. Got all 4 from discount tires direct on eBay for $386 with the coupon code they've got going on right now. I had 1.25" spidertrax on my old 4runner and they rubbed pretty bad even with 255/75/17s. I then took them off and added sequoia/ tundra rims and they were flush. They are about an inch outside the wheel well and have yet to get them to rub yet. Here you go:

[MENTION=119356]fiore[/MENTION] thanks just what I wanted to hear! Like my sports but why not with that price. Can sale sports and spacers, and prop make a few bucks and be safer!

Nice job on your lift and tires, it looks great.

Looks great. I'm about to put the trigger on the mk6 too. Still debating on color and wheel dims. Either bronze or gunmetal. Im running Cooper at3 on stock limited wheels and want to push the wheels out about 1.25"

I saw them for about $100 cheaper on ebay from discount tire. What coupon code are you referring to?

Thanks for the heads up on that ebay deal. I just picked up a set as well. :thumb:

The coupon code is "CTIRES16" at checkout. They were $486 before the coupon and $386 afterwards. The stance should put you out about what spidertrax does. I love it, much better looking in person!

Awesome! I hope you love them as much as me!

Absolutely! I sold just my 4 stock sport edition rims for $400 so I ended up getting the rims and new lug nuts for a whopping $4 because my new lug nuts were $20! People want the stocks, 8 had 3 people ask me if I was selling them after I sold them which was before I even put the new rims on!

[MENTION=119356]fiore[/MENTION] Looks great and great price for the wheels!
I'm about to lift my 4runner with the stage 2 icon setup and am trying to decide what wheels and tires I should go with.

 

[calebcalandra]

Today I got my 2.2 Rough Country 3" suspension lift kit on with all four new shocks/struts/springs/rear coils and two new front sway bars. They also put on my new wheels (Mamba M14's with a -12mm offset) and tires (BF Goodrich KO2s 33"s) and I absolutely LOVE it. I gained a bunch of ground clearance and couldn't be happier. :usa2:

 

[pefiln]

Recently put some new 275/70/17's BFG KO2's on some painted FJ rims. I love the way it came out. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford a real lift too.

 

[calebcalandra]

[MENTION=146970]techoguy[/MENTION] here's where they trimmed at





Those pictures are under my front wheel well^

 

[Rich189]

Sorry for the crappy pics and I still need to level the front and do a bunch of other little things but... Icon stage 2 with 275/70 KO2 on gloss gunmetal FN FX pro wheels

Do you have a spare in that same size? I'm eyeing that tire in that size for my next set, but I'd love to confirm it'll fit in the OEM spare location. I think it'll be tight.

What bracket did you use to mount that led bar? and is that a curved or straight bar? looks great!

I started with a 2008 completely stock limited. It needed tires so I started a plan of the build.
- 2014 FJ Shocks & Struts with springs
- 1/2" from leveling spacer
- 1/2" body lift
- 265/65/R18 Yokohama ATS Rubber

Above suspension and rubber, I changed every light in the truck to LED, including the headlights and fog lights. Also added a steelcraft bull bar and a 20" LED light bar.

No currently I still have my OEM Limited 18" rim on the stock tire under there. I am trying to find another used 17" FJ rim for the spare then I'll sell my set. I've heard that the max you can fit under there is the 275/70/17 tho... guess I'll find out someday.

I actually just used a piece of 2" angle iron to mount the bar to. It is a 32" Curved 5D bar from Auxbeam. I had to take the bumper off to get it on but I love the way it turned out. I can take some pics of the bracket if you want?
