i am pretty sure that 'ONLY 17"' really applies to people wanting to install smaller than 17" wheels, as they would interfere with the brakes.
anything larger should be no problem.
well, at least mechanically...
aesthetically is a completely different story!
Re: tires / wheels question -- 08 4runner SE
that's what i figured... OK cool thanks :)
Re: tires / wheels question -- 08 4runner SE
OK, getting frustrated!
I wanted to upgrade to some oem wheels with better backspacing (like some landcruiser / sequoia / tundra wheels) but all the ones that are 6 lug are older style and don't match my truck well imo, and the newer ones are 5 lug.
So now I'm thinking about sticking with my stock wheels and getting 33's on them with wheel spacers to clear the uca's...
Any suggestions / tips / links to builds that would help? Most builds I have seen either go for bling (no thanks) or are way beyond my aspirations for a small lift and 33's...
thanks in advance!
Re: tires / wheels question -- 08 4runner SE
I like those 6 spoke rims on the sport models. They are probably my favorite 4th gen rims. I vote for just using them, if you can.
Re: tires / wheels question -- 08 4runner SE
x2, I'm a fan of those wheels as well. It'll look sweet with 33's.
Re: tires / wheels question -- 08 4runner SE
I like the rims too :)
I think I'll do a custom cornfed lift, 2.5" front, 2.5" rear for $140, I have top out spacers from a friend which I'll stick in the front if I need a bit more lift.
Then I'll get the aftermarket uca's from all-pro for $640 ( :confused: )
That should let me keep my stock rims and fit 285/70/17's without using wheel spacers. I just hope the tires sit nicely.
Time to start packing some money away for those uca's... i'll prob pick up the spacers next week, save for uca's and get those in a couple weeks then save for tires and sell my current ones on craigslist to make up some of the cost.
Re: tires / wheels question -- 08 4runner SE
I'm not sure how much UCA space you're working with, but you might be able to get away with a 0.25 spacer. I bought a set to mount 285's on the stock 3rd gen 5 spokes. It turns out I didn't need them. 4th gen may be another story though...
Re: tires / wheels question -- 08 4runner SE
ive read conflicting info that it needs .5 or .75 to clear with 285/70/17s :(
I'm just not interested in wheel spacers on my dd.
Re: tires / wheels question -- 08 4runner SE
Lee do you plan on wheeling this?
Cause those UCA's are a lot of bling for moderate wheeling or even just a mall crawler...
