    Someone from a different forum recommend that I come here. They said “There's a really active group of guys from Ohio on Tacomaworld.com and at least a few can fix that for you, no problem.” So, here I am. I just bought my 2017 4RUNNER SR5 Premium a little over ago. The dealership had it lifted 2" in the back and 1" in the front with TRD tires. The front tires rub when I turn & I have to take it back to the dealership for them to correct this issue. Keep in mind that I bought it brand new off the lot with the tires and lift already installed. My main concern is "how" they're going to fix it. I asked the manager and he kept beating around the bush saying “well, only the techs know what they’re going to do”.There's no way that I'm going to settle for downgrading size wise on anything. I don't think they know what they're doing & they sure do talk to me like I'm absolutely clueless ( which I’m not arguing when it comes to this sort of thing).0563390B-9B90-4E06-8164-BF576C291C93.jpg Any helpful suggestions and/or comments?

    285's will rub slightly and require either removing your mud flaps or modifying the fender liner to get rid of the rubbing noise. The dealer most likely doesn't want to replace your tires with 275/70/17's which are the biggest tires you can have without any rubbing issues on stock setup. You have a small lift and am not sure if lifting it anymore will solve your problem though.
    check out "Toyota-4runner.org" and look in the 5th gen t4rs section and you will find lots of info and help....congratz on the new 4Runner
