Never Been So Happy To See New Rubbers

[Tyler James Inc]

New wheels and tires showed up today from the fine folks at DiscountTire.com. I was giddy as a school girl when my wife sent me pics at 9am- when the brown guy dropped em off.

Old wheels and tires-

Difference in height-

New-

Driveway flexin'-

Perfect fit-

Center caps missin' 'cause I'm making new ones.

Looks good. I think you might have bought my KM2s and 5 stars.

I like the new wheels!

Looks great. You going for the TRD look on the center caps? The OEM silver caps will fit as well.

Thanks man. Yup, I sure did. The day we bought the rig, actually. Haha That was a fun trip/day. Headin up there again Saturday! We seem to find most of our cars up there, for some reason. [emoji85]

I like the new wheels!

Thank you! I'm not sure I like them better than the black 5 stars, but I really didn't want a 315 on a 7" wheel. I also like not running spacers and having 17's. But yeah, I really loved the 5 stars.

I appreciate that!
I think I'm gonna do a gloss black first layer, and a matte black overlay, with either the TRD or Toyota logo cut out. Hopefully the matte will be a close enough match to the wheels. They sell them as matte black, but they're definitely a satin- which I am VERY happy about!
I just think the bright spun aluminum center cap stands out too much on my setup.

DAMN, I love your runner man, great color and wheel/tire choice...

TBH I'm only on Level 8.

Thank you sir!
I really love it too.
Rough draft on the center caps-

Really happy with how they're gonna turn out!

Ghetto AF, but it helped give me an idea of what needs to be done for minimal rubbing.

No tuckin past the pinch for me-

2.5" bump stop extensions? Maybe 3". I don't wanna chew up my tires, nor do I really want to **** with my quarter panel pinch.

Firewall will need a small tub job though. Unless I can get enough forward positioning out of SPC UCA's, while maintaining good(3+? [emoji1374]) caster and proper camber/toe.

Pinch is hammered flat as possible.
Tires hit the rails at lock, and arms at full droop, but no marks on the tires from rallying around the mall parking lot, so I'm not worried about the minimal arm clearance.

Center caps turned out pretty cool-

That looks good!

What's your plan with your old wheels/tires? I have a buddy lifting his 4RUnner tomorrow that may be interested. He's also in Seattle.

The wheels look great! And the tire size is what I'm looking for also. I found this thread through the 3rd gen aftermarket wheel thread with a little bit of snooping around haha. Just wondering what your suspension setup is and what's everything that you had to do to make that tire size fit?
