I have the Bilstein 6112 2.5" lift in the front and 1.5" in the rear and I currently have BFG ATs in the stock size and it actually doesn't bother me. But I have aftermarket wheels with a different width/offset and I do plan on going bigger at some point.

It does look better but it’s not that much of a difference.

I loved my Pro and the look of the 285's. These 275's are just as big as my friends Jeep with 285's. I have no rubbing, but I didn't on 285's either. I get better gas mileage by about 1-1.5mpg with the 275's. Maybe slightly quicker acceleration. I wish my current 4R was lifted by 3", but its a lease and even though I think I will buy it at the end of my lease thats never been the case with me since 18 months is the longest I've kept a vehicle. If you are running a leveling kit I would go with 275's. If you will be lifted more 2" go with the 285's.
Thanks form your input. I'm not convinced that the springs are necessary for my needs but im considering it. Im not so much into looks but do not want any rubbing nor do I want to cut anything. Gas mileage and acceleration are a concern for me which is why I would prefer the 265's but haven't seen what it will look like. Fortunately, Im not in a hurry but grateful for your experiences.

It's exclusively a style preference. I prefer the look of the top pic more than the lower pic. I'm just not a fan of the fat balloon tire look. I like a sharper profile, more in line with the size and cut of the rims as opposed to round. I just don't see a T4R as a soft, round-type of 4x4. My ORP looks pretty much just like yours in the top pic with 265 tires. I could have put on 285s or any size that could fit, I just prefer the look of the KO2 265s. I'll admit the stock TRD Pro tires aren't as rugged looking as KO2, I still would keep those until they needed replacing. When I upgraded, I'd still pick 265. I totally understand why the majority prefers the "biggest is best" look. It's definitely the more popular look. it's just not for me. And functionally, 285s would not perform better for my driving conditions, they would actually make performance worse.

Have Wescott lift and additional weight from winch, mounting plate, aux. battery, and drawers+contents. Appearance is not bad with 265s but I am a little lower than a truck without the additional weight. 265s will be a tad better on gas mileage than 285s if you live an area with any amount of hills. Particular with interstate driving with less downshifts out of OD. In flat regions, probably won’t be a difference. My 14 with 285s tends to shift out of OD more on interstate when driving above 70mph unless allow speed to drop 2-3 mph when going up any noticeable hills. Driving in flatter regions below 70, fewer downshifts and probably no difference in mileage compared to 265s.

hey buddy, interested to know what spacer did you put on top of the shock, also if you could share photos of your setup will be great.
I was planning to go with westscott design lift for my 2022 pro, but for some reason our 4runner has more rake than the previous models and westscott designs dont even know why. I would like to install something which is all leveled and atleast 3inch in the front to clear the wheels.
Got my springs in for my 2021 pro.. will be keeping my 265 nittos until they need replaced from wear. Haven’t decided between 275 or 255 for when they need replaced. I don’t mind the look, although slightly bigger will look better, it’s a work in progress. Cannot justify throwing out good rubber when they still do what I need for now.
