Who's running 18's?

[KGB2011]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone is successfully running 18 inch wheels with the daystar lift, fj springs, and bilstein set up. Thanks! !

Considering some 4runners came from the dealer with 18 inch wheels I'm sure folks are. And yes. It's entirely possible.

Sticking points are backspacing and tire size....

I had 18x9s with just the Daystar kit. Like said above backspacing and rim size are very important.

I've been running the limited 18's with 275/65r18 General Grabber AT2 and was originally running it with FJ springs and cornfed 2/1 spacers and it worked out really good!

I was running the Limited 18s with stock tires and no lift:

Then I upgraded my wheels to Ultra Gauntlet 18s w/Cooper Discoverer A/T3's 265/65R18 & put a Daystar kit:

I'll have pics of the Toytec boss kit install later this week. Gotta get an alignment and a wash before the photo shoot

Awesome! Thanks for the replies. I'm looking into aftermarket rims, what offset should I be looking for?

20s here, no lift zero rubbing. You're not going to have any problems at 18" buy what you like and don't worry about it

18's also, with a Toytec 3" and Bilstein 5100

I'm running Cooper Zeon LTZ 285/60 and the American Racing ATX Artillery
(18X9, 4.56" backspacing, -12mm offset)

Yea i think -12 mm offset would be best, thats what the gauntlets have as well.
Check out the XD Monster wheels, I was looking at those but went with the gauntlets since a member was getting rid of his.

Also check out the general discussion threads, i believe scs put out a new wheel, don't think they're 18's though.

My next question, tire sizes... I see people running 275 and 255 on their wheels. Why?
