I recently bought a black 2006 4runner sport and it came with the stock Dunlops P265/65R17...don't like these tires too much so I want to change them with some white letter BFGoodrich All Terrains but don't know how big I can get. I definitely want the biggest possible without rubbing or lifting (and the white letters), any recommendations??? Although I like going offroad I also drive in the city alot....will these tires hold up???

285s most likely wont fit not because of height but because of width.. those have more tread so the 285s would rub inside the well.

265.70.17 would be the best bet for the application you want (no lift, no rub). There are plenty of tires to choose from so go get em. Spare tire will fit.
You can also consider 275.70.17 but you would need a lift for this application (no rub).
Good luck

youd need a lift for the 32s probablly if you are talking about a 285/65 or something
trust me it wont fit.

Stick with 265/70/17. No rubbing. I would check out your local Discount Tire Co. or Costco. I think that Costco may not do it because they don't like to change tire size from OEM specs. Discount Tire Co. has been real good to me. If you want to buy over the net, then i would recommend TIRERACK.COM. Just ask them to deliver the tires to your local store.
BFG AT KO tires are excellent...you will love them! I do.
If you don't off-road much, then i would recommend Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor.

What is the max size I can put on a 18" wheel without rubbing or putting in a lift?
265/70/18? Is there such a thing?
265/60/18 is also the OEM size for my G. The next size up is 285/60/18 (Nittos). I am not sure if this will fit on 4runner...but i think that someone has put them on the new 4runner. You may want to do a search. I just did it for you:

BFG AT KO comes in 285/65/18...but this is pretty big (33") and will likely rub. In addition, this size in BFG is very hard to find and $$$$$.
Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor makes your stock size. I would go with that instead of upsizing. See my response in this this thread:

Hope this helps.
Stay with 265/70's or you will have a problem.
31.8 or 32 ? what's the diff. like anyone will notice that.
BFG's are a great choice , I have the Revo's and like them alot too, but If I had to do it all over again I would go BFG in either the AT or the Rugged trail. I've alway's run BFG At's and think they are excellent !!

BFG AT
I bought a a complete set of 265/70-17 BFG AT's from Discount Tires two weeks ago. I told them that someone quoted me a price and wanted to see if they would match it. They did! I paid $686 for a set of BFG's. I believe the price was $165/tire minus $50/tire for my stock Dunlops.

Let me get this straight...you told them that you had found them at $165 a piece somewhere else and they matched it and they also bought back the dunlop stock tires?? so basically the cost per tire was $165-$50=$115 a tire? Any chance this was in atlanta??? I going to a discount tire the weekend for sure.
Thanks,
Thanks,

You are correct my friend. I had about 1000 miles on my Dunlops. I think the most they'll give you is $50/tire for a trade in and they'll even try to give you less. Stand your ground... hold your breath if you have to.
If they won't match the price just for asking, ask them if they'll match one of their own store's price. I'll email you my receipt if that'll help.

Wow...im going to get me some BFG AT's this weekend....please send me a copy of that receipt to [email protected] and also if you can send me a pic of your 4runner with those tires that'll be great just to see how the truck looks with those tires on....should be pretty sweet. They should be able to match them...my stock dunlops have about 1800 miles on them. but definetely want the All terrains.

I'd like to weigh in on this thread despite it being half a decade old. I own a 2006 4Runner Limited which came with 18" rims and 265/60R18 stock tires. Wanting to go with a slightly taller tire I purchased and installed a set of 265/70R18 Yokohama Geolander A/T-S all terrains. The tires stand exactly 32" tall under load and definitely rub (stock suspension) in the front (not the back) but only on the plastic splash-guard so no rubbing on metal.
To get a little lift to prevent the rubbing, the solution I've opted for, and what I've found are very popular, is a lift/leveling kit made by Daystar (Daystar? - Driven by Design). There are others available too (Velocity, Rough country, etc.). Gives the front a 2" lift, the rear ~1.5", and removes the built-in rake that these 4th gen 4Runners have. Also, since the spacers are installed on top of the struts/springs, the install is much easier than a suspension or body lift. If there's interest, I can post pics.
