tires for 18" wheels

[blkexp98]

Will some of you with 18" wheels post some pictures of your tire choices and tell me a little about them. My tires are cracking and i am going to have them replaced soon. Right now i have the Michelin Cross terrains (dont remember the size).

Also about how much diameter and width can the stock 4runner handle? To get more specific i have a 2007 with the enkie 18" wheels. Do any of you know the backspacing or any other details on them?

Thanks,

Major

Are these the wheels http://www.wheelmax.com/Enkei_RT6_18_Inch_Wheel-348658.asp

If so the details are there. I think the backspacing is 4.25.

To find the width and offset, look at the inside of one of the spokes, It should read 18x8 0 J or something similar. Post a pic or a description and we can determine the width and offset.

In general a narrow 32" tire is max for a stock 4th gen. That means 265/65/18.

I have 275/65/18 Toyo AT's on 18x9 pro comps. It is a true 32" and wider than stock. See my sig for pics.

I definitely agree. I drive a 2008 Urban Runner (basically a Sport Edition). I took it by trailblazers and they said I have 18 inchers on mine. I said well I'm looking for a cross-over that I can drive on the road, but will also get good traction for off-roading. They said that my 4Runner, basically stock doesn't have much room to grow, unless with a lift, so they suggested getting the same sized Toyo Open Country A/T like suggested above. My really interested into what others have to say, but I'm really leaning to buy these soon.

Ill try to get a picture of the wheels and look for that number on them. They arnt the same as the link that was posted and i didnt see them on the mfg's site either.

Thanks for the heads up on that tire size too.

Here are the wheels i have on my 4 runner from the factory. They look like the 20" wheels but i wanted the 18's. I looked all around behind the face of the wheel and couldnt see any stampling or mold marks with a backspacing on them. Did you mean on the where the rim of the wheel would be on the inside or on the somewhat horizontal portion around the brakes?

275/55 R18's are what i have on there now for tires.
