255/80/r17s pizza cutter thread

Here's another

 

Just wanted to give this post a shout out. After spending hours on here researching what I could fit on the 17" pro wheels with a bone stock suspension, this was the most thorough and confidence boosting post/write-up on the entire internet. I'll go the same route as you did with the trimming for peace of mind, because it's a TIGHT fit in there (third pic).

Here is 255/80 r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws on a stock OR suspension

 

Yes with stock wheels. Where people get into trouble with rubbing is with different offsets that push the wheel further out. I am running 255/80/17 on 17x8 Rims with close to factory offset. I did have to remove front mud flaps. Never tried modifying them like some have. I have a 2" lift but ran them for 20,000 miles on stock suspension prior to that.

 

fwiw, and incase anyone was interested... the cooper st maxx 255/80/17 at 40 psi (no added siping or studs) are doing good in various snow and icy conditions so far... for this deep snow in the pic I had to put it in 4wHigh.... I tried just auto LSD -that would't do it.... cheers!

 

Your post is a little confusing. Did you try 4hi after auto-lsd (2wd) and before 4lo?

 

That's what it sounds like

 

correct ,but no 4wLow ... tried auto LCD first -in "2wd" -which didn't work .... then went to 4wHigh -which worked ... hopefully thats more clear!

 

Enjoying the 4Runner wheels with 255/80r17 Falken AT3Ws

 

I could have sworn you said 4wLo, but it’s clearly 4wHigh in my quote. Either I misread it or you edited it right before I quoted it. Anyway, I’m glad you got out. In that much snow, I wouldn’t bother with 2hi.

 

haha, i did edit it -you must have seen the post the first minute I posted before changing it

 

I didn’t realize the at3w’s came in this size! I was debating getting 265/70/17 KO2’s on my stock 3rd gen but now this is looking more appealing…

Anyone running Rekgen mudflaps with this size?

 

yep -im running rekgens with 4mm offset wheels, 255/80/17 copper st maxx tires, and a lift (about 2.5" -2.8" in front and 2" in the back), and caster pushed out.... I had to do some melting of the plastic fender, bent the mudflaps a bit, and zip tied to hold it out of the way.... they major rubbed before melting and zip ties .... here is the after pic -i haven't rubbed at all ...... fwiw its worth -I found the mudflaps do nothing lol -but I like the looks

 

23 TRD Off-Road
Falken Wildpeaks 255/80/17
4Runner SEMA 17 Wheels
Stock suspension, no lift.
Had to cut 2 little pieces of plastic off
No rubbing at all!
Very Happy with my decision!

Thank You everyone on this thread.
First post here.

 

Looks great man!

 

looks perfect!

 

This looks great. Not sure if you're planning on lifting but dare I say you dont need it, truck looks great + you got some more ground clearance. Wish I would've gone this route....

 

Any negative offset wheel experiences with this size tire?

 

I would like to know too pls. Thinking of getting scs f5's w/ -25mm offset

 

+1 ... Looking at Nomad Convoy's 17x8.5 0's (which should be close to the 4 runner SEMA wheels IIRC). Would love to know if anyone has been off pavement with a similar setup and what kind of contact happened.

 

After 2 months of deliberation, I ordered 5 255 80 17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (solid deal on Amazon with free shipping) and sticking with stock trd sport wheels. Should have researched a bit more but pulled the spare after ordering and found a 16” spare underneath. Will look for a 17” sport wheel on CL for a while before just buying a new 17” steelie. Will post some
Pics once I get everything mounted. Plan to stay on stock suspension.
