Default 275 65 18 No Rub

No rub! Metal Tech Sliders ordered and Dobinson lift arriving Monday. Still on the fence on which roof rack, leaning towards SSO.

Nice, the offset and BS on the rims play a big role.

The whole combo looks sharp on the truck. Awesome!

Had a few questions on wheels, so I’ll include the exact setup I installed.
I did remove the bolt prior to the install after reading several other wheels fitment threads, and I’m not getting any rub at all, even when driving over rougher terrain

Looks great. This will be our first upgrade to the GX before winter, I really hate the stock tire size. Trying to get my hands on some SCS wheels first.

It would be really helpful if you could also post up some alignment specs. I have 285/70r17 on the 4runner, moving up to a 305/70 or 285/75, but it needs at least +4 caster to clear the body mount and rear part of the inner fender and cycle properly. It's much easier to deal with the front inner fender rubbing at the bumper vs the rear body mount and firewall. I assume you would need at least a +3.5 caster and massage the front liner with a heat gun to fit without a lift.

I really like how these fill up the wheel well. Whats the offsets and backspacing on these and do you have any front/rear shots showing if they poke? I was going to do 17"s but now thinking about 18's (18x9 +0).

Sits flush. When driving through water or mud, there isn’t any spray from the tires poking out. Metal Tech sliders sitting in garage along side my Dobinson Lift Kit. Hopefully have time for install this week....unless the tropical storm in the gulf turns into a hurricane. Theeeeeennnnn maybe next week. lol

You've been very helpful on this thread. I ordered the same tires and lugnuts that you did. I will start my own thread when i mount my wheels but just wanted to say "thanks!"
