    That's like one of my fave color schemes on those 4Runners. Nice classic two tone style, looked good 15 years ago, looks good now, and will still look good in another 10 years:D

    255s or 285s?

    I don't have a good side pic handy but 255s don't even fill mine that much. TBH I've never really measured my front lift from stock, it's around 2.5".

    That's purty

    Toyota knows full well how good dark green looks on Tacomas and T4Rs but they blue ball us with it by hardly offering it.

    The new "army green" is OK but not as nice as the 1st gen green or the 2nd gen one.

    Mine kiss the frame in the same spot when I crank the wheels and stuff them, I have to hit it with some black rattle can paint every couple months. Bought some 1/4" spacers awhile ago but they shorten the amount of the threads my lug nuts grab on the studs and felt too sketchy, so I just deal with the rub every now and then.

    It's funny that in the Land Cruiser world that dark green was the least desired, and I think it was because of the peeling being much more common with the dark colors. Here in taco world that's what everyone loves. I think it's a grass is greener type a thing

    Everywhere I've looked up has said you should at minimum engage as many threads as it takes to reach the length of the diameter of the vehicle stud. I'll have to look at it again on my truck but I'm pretty sure that's more than 3 threads...I don't want to take that risk of having a wheel decide to peace out on me on the highway

    In any type of shade, it looks black.

    Really nice color actually once the sun hits it.

    Yeah my 100 series green looks nice when it's kept up... But when it's not maintained, one of worst colors it seems

    You need wheel spacers then.
