New wheels and tires

[barry581]

I put new wheels and tires on my 2021 Trail today. Went with KMC722 in bronze, 17x8.5 with 0 offset. Tires are Goodyear Wrangler Adventure size 285/70R17. I think it turned out well, the bronze wheels look good with the grey. Just a very slight rub when backing up at full lock. It's slight enough I can't tell where it's rubbing when I looked at it when I got home.





I ran at various speeds on the way home, up to 70 MPH. No vibration, and they were pretty quite, no worse than the stock Bridgestones.

Nice wheels and like the color combo too.

Do you have a lift/suspension upgrade?

OP nice choice. Nice to see something other than black rims (i say this owning 3 different sets of black wheels).

Good taste in rims. But I would rip that side step garbage off the rockers, looks like your hauling midgets to the mall!!!

Otherwise..all good :beer:

Looks good, bronze works so well on 4runners!

Next time, let the wife choose color combinations.

I installed Bilstein 5100's set at 1.75 in the front and a 1" Cornfed spacer in the rear.

That looks good. I like those wheels too.

Still no idea what color I'm gonna end up with, I'm playing the Toyota lottery, I'm 4th in line, 2 people in front of me have specific color wants, I'll take any color...so my wheel color choice is going to depend on what color I end up with.

Probably gonna go with OME coils and bils or OME shocks to gain about 2" lift front and rear. First set of tires are gonna be 275/70's though (as in, going to have the dealer put them on before I pick it up), I'll go up to 285's after the lift and after the first set wears out.

that's cool, but I still like to keep a low profile

Looks good OP! curious on how those tires work. they were stock on my ford and were atrocious, but we all know the oem tires are garbage compared to buying them at a tire shop even though its labeled as the same tire.

Since there's no real off roading in Delaware, I didn't see the need for a more aggressive tire, although I do like the look better. These tires are quiet and were rated fairly high in snow and rain. I will get to test them on the beach surf fishing next year, and since I train retrievers I do find myself in some muddy spots now and then. The OE Bridgestone's never go me stuck, so I'm pretty sure these will do ok for my needs.
