    There is a magic number of wheel offset, backspacing, wheel width, and tire size that will prevent rubbing. I'd say you're safe with an 8-9" width wheel with 4.5-4" back spacing running 33" tires. You may have some minor rub on plastic, but that's simple shit. Have a look at this chart, I love charts, they're so fun!

    Morning Y'all. Curious does TTC have a FB? Also, is there a specific person/s that plan the meet ups?

    Just thinking long term. My focus is on camping so a lift and wheels aren't a priority right now. Eventually I'd like to get there but not yet. My dealer threw in the tire warranty for free and I feel like the stock tires and suspension are good enough to get me by for a few years. It's better for me to look into this stuff now though because otherwise I'm too eager to pull the trigger and buy something without fully investing the time to do proper research.

    To answer your question... Looking at Mickey Thompson Classic Baja Locks http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/wheels/classic-baja-lock/ Digging their Baja ATZ P3 too but those are pricey

    Those are my favorite aftermarket wheels. I like the chrome though.

    Meet ups are all posted here usually by @Misplaced Nebraskan . I copy n paste links to the 4runner forum for the Cars n Coffee events. Gonna do a HF and lake camp trip on Oct 21st, but I still need to get more info on the camp ground. I'll have all that by next week though.

    True. It's important to have self-recovery gear when traveling alone.
