Yeah you could say that, I was in a tossup between those and the ko2's, but I hadn't seen many Grabbers around so I went with those!

Nice! Love those tires!

 

[SKP-4R]

Any idea how much additional lift you gained with those tires?

Two inches or so, assuming stocks are 29, and these are true 33's

Nice!!!! I like the color and stance....

Stocks are listed around 31.6" height for 265/70 sizes. Probably only got an extra .75" of clearance from the tire swap itself. They definitely look enormous though.

Stock Dunlops were 265/65/17, and were 30.6". That makes my clearance closer to 1.5", so HA take that

Damn you vicious

I guess you must be the only 5th gen 4runner to have 265/65/17 from the factory. Congrats!


Actually, they're spec'd at 265/70 for all Trail/SR5 models. A 1" height difference (and resulting diameter difference) is huge, and it's probably something that would be accounted for in your ECU, speed sensor, odometer, computer mpg calculations, etc. I'm not trying to argue, but telling people you gained 2" ground clearance by putting on 33" tires is not correct. You gained less than 2" in tire height - half of which translates into ground clearance. The only other possibility is that your tires were a dealer swap for some reason without you knowing it....

Glad to have an expert on here, thanks for clarifying. I was thinking the originals were 29" making it a 4" increase, thus 2" gained clearance.
