Northern Virginia Roll Call

Blasphemy!

 

lmao 255/80/17 FTW!!!!!!

 

Is that what you are running?

 

yep and I love them! Cooper St maxx

 

^LOL I knew this wouldnt be a popular opinion

 

I still don't understand why you wont entertain 255s, cookie looking thinness?

Coot

 

I still think 285s look a little thin when I look at the 4Runner from direct front / rear

Remember, I'm a ex diesel / Jeep guy.... so I'm used to anything from 12.50 width to 15.50 width. haha

 

If that is the case, then I say go ape shit and get 295 for the hell of it.

Coot

 

I'm seriously thinking about it... @TacoFMS and I already have the Cab Mount chop worked out

 

Yes and I want to see the pile of trimmings when you are finished.

 

Atleast you will have a nice "boxed" set up like me if I had to guess.

Coot

 

you gotta admit.....this looks pretty damn awesome (295s)

 

It does, but I will be curious to see your mileage after.

Coot

 

my smileage is likely to increase significantly

 

You decide on 295s and we may need to revisit the conversation...

 

I'm confused.... it's always been 295s... you PMed me originally BECAUSE i was talking about 295s... I wont need a Chop with 285s

see below:

 

I still think you might have to chop at 285s...but you can always throw on the tires first and find out!

Coot

 

I helped a buddy in Hawaii put 285s on with 17x9 -12mm and then we test fitted my 4Runner TRD Pro wheels with 285s and neither rubbed the cab at all...

I didnt have to CMC the 4Runner either

 

but even if I have to do.... the height and width difference from 285 to 295 is minimal

285/70/17 = 32.7" x 11.2"
and 295/70/17 = 33.3" x 11.6"

so we're talking .4" wider and .6" taller?

 

If you have a similar offset, then man why not just throw on the new shoes? You may not need much chopping if that is the case. I didn't get mine chopped till I realized I couldn't turn worth shit.
