LC rims and 305's finally on take a look!

[saulgoode]

Wuz up fellas! I can say i'm offically part of the mile hig..., I mean the LC rim club! :thumbup:

I finally got'em on and some beefy tires to go with'em this weekend.
The pics are kinda grainy cause i took'em with my camera phone in the parking garage at work, but I'll get better ones later with the digital camera.

The tires are Nitto Terra Grappler 305/70-16's, I got'em used for a nice deal.

They only time they rub is when i'm turning out of my driveway, and at full turn. I'm debating whether to put a 1" bl because they do clear the wheel well and the upper a arm just fine (i'll get a pic that later too)

Going to repaint the center caps pretty soon.

They stick out the fender just an inch or so

4Runner looks good. Looks like you made the right tire size choice too.

[saulgoode]

thanks, I debated 285 or 305, in the end it was the 305 because I got a deal on'em!

Here's a pic of the A-arm clearence

Good looking rig! Looks like the clearance around the upper A's is more than adequate! I'm due for tires in a few months and will probably go with 285's on stock wheels (with crossed fingers, hoping they fit)!

[saulgoode]

Thanks, I wasn't to sure if they were going to rub or not from what I've previously read. The clearence I got suprised me.

I've been trying to source out some LC wheels for a couple of weeks. Where did you get yours? Ones on ih8mud seem to get snatched up right away. Local craigslist is crap. I found some at local junk yards, but they're either too expensive ($100/rim) or all banged up. I might just end up going PC's if no LC's come up.

[saulgoode]

I only found one set on craigslist here in houston and those got snatched up immediately as well. www.car-part.com has alot and there were some for less than 100 a rim. I found mine from just calling around used car part places and found a whole set. They do have a few scratches but for 70 a rim, that was the best deal i found.

Looks sweet! I think those are the best looking Toyota rims for the 4runner besides the FJ TRD's

I like the combo of my LC's and 305's your truck is looking nice.

Thanks, I saw yours and i like the mud tires you have on yours, it makes your runner looks more aggressive. I wish I would've found some of those instead, but I wanted to get my rims on and these'll do until i can get some mudders.

Are you running a body lift with your tires? If not how much rubbing you have. I get some at full turn and when going in and out of my driveway.

Have to put up another pic, forgive me if I'm showing off! :D

I shaved my upper A-arms so no more rubbing there at full flex but really I don't rub unless I'm lifting tires off the ground when I'm wheeling. And no I don't have any body lift just the Tundra/OME lift. Yeah I like the look of MT's over AT's but your AT's will last longer that's for sure.

Nice....me likes :clap:

[Albuquerque Jim]

They look good and the Nittos work very well in a lot of conditions.

Hey, man, if you're going to show off, at least take them with a digi cam! Those pics look like they're from 2001. :D

[rocktown]

Those look sweet. I have my LC's all pc'ed up in graphite, just trying to save up the money for the lift and tires. Prob gonna go with the 295 nitto tg's.

[saulgoode]

Hey man, don't knock the camera phone, it's all I had! :thumbup:

I would go with 295's as well, those will be my next size when i get new tires. THe 305's are nice and just a tad too wide for my style, but they are good none the less. Get somne pics up of theose rims once you get'em on. Once you get LC rims, you won't go back! :thumbup:

I'm very anxious to get the lift and tires, but i still have another 2 or 3 months before i can afford it.
Meanwhile, here's just a mock up I did:
