New member here from Chicago. Looking to learn more about my GF's 4Runner. Specs below:

- 2007 SR5 V6 4WD - Shadow Mica - w/ only 30K miles

The car's been sitting & only driven a couple of miles each month for the last few years. We finally decided to bring it out here from the west coast. All fluids and front struts have been replaced. All maintance up to the 30K has been completed.

Inorder to drive the car from the west coast, the original tires needed replacement and were replaced with 265/65/17's michelin ltx ms2. I would have liked to have gone bigger, but they were replaced before I had a chance to do any research.

First mod i'd like to do would be to get and install the daystar 2.5/1.5 level kit. Would these tires be too small & look goofy with this lift??

BTW I have 2 other rides and I am not new to the car scene.. I have a heavily moddified 04' 350Z & a lightly moddified 07' Acura TLS.

Tell your girlfriend "WELCOME TO T4R.ORG". Damn, her struts needed to be changed BEFORE 30k miles? What kind of driving was she doing? Anyway, if you do the Daystar 2.5/1.5 spacer kit, you will probably want to go with 265/70/17 A/T type tires and even some 1.25" spacers (assuming you stay with the OEM rims) to offset the heightened center of gravity and give it a bit more aggressive look. Good luck!

Thanks. I'm seeing everyone has the 70's versus the OEM 65's for the tires. Sucks because these are brand new tires that were just put on Less than 1k miles ago.

One of her front struts was leaking so both fronts were replaced. I plan on keeping the stock wheels & suspension so I'll figure out the spacer situation.
