    I'm getting sick of the OEM tires (245/75/16) on my 2017 SR5 so I'm upgrading wheels and tires to go with a beefier look as well as needing some AT for my job. I'm not planning on lifting the truck yet/anytime soon so I want to get the biggest tire/wheel that I can fit without rubbing. I was planning on getting the 265/70/17 ko2's and was wondering if anyone has a similar setup on stock suspension and has any problems or tips they reccomend? I'm also open to suggestions for tire and wheel size because I decided on 17s because of recommendations from friends/family and I want the biggest tire I can get without rubbing. Any reccomendations are welcome but I am pretty set on ko2s. Thx

    Update: Ordered wheels and tires and they should be coming in the next week or so...I'll post pics when everything gets put on

    Update: Here's some pics of the new setup!

    265/70/17 should fit no problem, that's the stock tire size on 4Runner TRD Pro wheels, and probably the other wheels on that model as well.

    IMG_1415.jpg I've got 265/70r17 KO2's on my truck and haven't had any issues with rubbing. Fully stock suspension, for now......

    You can most definitely fit that size tire on stock suspension, but it will all come down to the offset of the wheels you choose. Stock rims usually have a +32 offset. Anything to far off of that will rub. For instance that size tire on a -12 offset will likely rub. I also suggest strongly looking at wheel and tire weight before pulling the trigger, and keep that weight as low as possible for minimal performance reduction. KO2's in that size come in both a C load and E load, and there is an 8lbs per tire between the two. The C load tires have the following product code: LT265/70R17112/109S C RWL, as seen here: Hope this helps.

    I have 265 70 17 KO2's and my right front will rub the mudflap just a bit with a passenger in the truck while going into any driveway. Without mudflaps, I have no issues even on the light offroad trails I've been on. I trimmed the inside of the flap and now have no more rubs. Fyi, I didn't have an issue until I had my alignment adjusted by Toyota because it was pulling to the right. If you read the threads on TW, you will see that your trucks casters as well as the offsets on the setup you choose will determine if you will be rubbing or not with this size. Good luck to you.

    I went with the C's and have been very happy with them. Similar ride quality and road noise to stock, but a very noticeable difference off-road. I aired down to 20psi yesterday in big bear and they ran great. I've taken about a 2mpg hit to economy, but the computer doesn't know I have a bigger tire on the truck.

    Do you think I could go any bigger with the tire or are you pretty close to rubbing?

    From what I've read on here I've got the biggest you can go without rubbing somewhere. I didn't want to go any bigger due to fuel economy and stress on the drivetrain. I haven't had the gear hunting issues that other people have reported, but I didn't want to push it in that direction. I also can't picture anything much bigger fitting at full lock.
