    image.jpg Just bought a 2009 RC 5 lug. Need to ask for a favor. The photo attached is NOT my truck. However, I would like to know if anyone could tell me the type of wheels and tires used and if the my truck would need a lift/ leveling kit for this look. As it is exactly what I am going for.

    Thanks.

    Well I can tell you there was no lift as the front is angled down. To fit the tires like that you'll need to remove your black box as well.

    Boom! Thank you. But still no answer on the wheels. The countersteer wheels only come in a six lug bolt pattern.

    That's mine. Just picked her up yesterday. She's a bone stock 5 speed 2009 w 35,000 on the odometer. I'm a simple guy that don't need much but those wheels and tires have got to go. Had a 4Runner for years but new to the forum world. Any help/ good links are MUCH appreciated.

    That's them. Thank you man. Pulling the trigger on them ASAP. Heard some horror stories about Rota wheels cracking and breaking due to them being cast instead of forged. I am assuming I won't run into this issue bc I will be running thicker tires in comparison to the guys running low profiles.

    Has anyone had bad luck w this brand? Should I be ok?

    I'd also check to see if you still have the stock air filter and secondary one. Remove the Secondary if you do and change to like an afe pro dry filter. It'll feel better with throttle response.

    Yeah I have been reading up on that. My buddy is a car guy and said to throw a cold air intake on it. Would this be recommended?

    Stock air is basically cold air so all it would do is change the sound alittle and cost $$$. Unless you go snorkle which is like super cold air lol
