Yokohama Geolandar MT-G003

35x12.5R17 Yokohama Geolandar MT G003s on RRW RR7-H 17x8.5 -25 offset.

Had 285/75R16 K02s on 0 offset wheels before that totally cleared without rubbing, even fully stuffed at full lock and hard bottoming out at speed. I had a cab mount chop, pinch weld fully flattened, fender liner re-shaped and some trimming and hammering along the lower edges of the fender, but it wasn't even close to enough room for 35s. These things make the wheel wells look like a RAV-4. It was nearly undriveable from the tire shop.

Got a lot of trimming and hammering to do this weekend. Thankfully it looks like my cab mount chop MIGHT be sufficient, but we'll see...

Pretty stoked with how it looks though. Just gotta get the functionality to catch up with the form.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Looks badass!!!

I too just had the yokos in 35” installed on my GX and still find myself scraping when fully locked. I plan on doing a 1” body lift and trimming more plastic.

 

Cut more from the rear bumper. Now everyone can see the yokos from the rear haha

 

Did you re-gear or mo? If not, how is the power? Im wanting to do 35's nut don't want to re-gear right now...

 

My 5.29 regear appointment is still 4 weeks out. The power loss and MPG hit are very noticeable. On flat roads it's okay, but I have a long hill on my daily commute and the truck won't hold 4th gear any faster than 57 MPH where it would do over 80 before.

 

I’m on 35s without a regear and my truck was pretty gutless and took a big hit on MPG too. Did some research and decided to take a chance and get the KDMAX Pro Tune and it helped ALOT. Got low end torque back, increase in MPG, and just overall drive ability was improved and drove like I was on 33s again. I’m fully air locking next year or else I might’ve not even considered getting re-geared for a while because the tune helped so much. Tune was about $500.

 

Thats good to hear. As much as I want to re-gear, I just have a hard time dropping $3000.00+ for the gears and install.
Did you do the cmc or the cab mount relocation bracket? Im thinking I MIGHT get away with just doing the cmc since I barely rub with 33's.

 

If you plan on keeping your truck for the long haul, 3k is not bad at all.

 

I agree. Im sure ill end up doing it at some point

 

Love the look of the meaty tires on tacos and 4 runners I would like to see more Japanese wheels used tho rays volks lots of old school three piece 6 lug for great prices

 

I have a 2.5" King lift. What size can i get away with without any rubbing? Really like these tires.. Guessing 315/75 is to big?

 

If you try hard enough, you can rub on stock tires. If you want 35's, you'll need to do some chopping. For 33's, maybe not as much.

 

joined the club today.

 

What size are those?

 

255/75’s

 

295/70/17, on RRW hybrids with aluminum protection ring. Sitting at 35 psi for daily, down to 20 for trails. After going through K02, Wildpeaks, Cooper STT and Rugged Treks, these are by far the best tire I’ve owned. Just went up to big bear this weekend and they performed flawlessly.

cmc, pinch welds, front viper and i still rub on occasion when turning and dipping at the same time at the outer fender spot that sits before the cab mount.

 

Love the setup...mine is pretty similar, same 295 size. I'm really glad to hear the tires performed well on snow; I'm headed up to snow later this week and haven't had the opportunity to try them out yet. I have been very pleased with them in the rain so far, rare in San Diego but quite a bit lately. They've yet to lose any grip on the wet roads (which is odd because my last tire was the KO2 and they would break free a bit in the rain. Not bad, never had a problem, but I was surprised that an AT tire seemed to lose traction so easy.) I still liked them a lot though.

I haven't had any rubbing issues but but I have and aftermarket front bumper, cmc/pinch weld flattening, and cut quite a bit back in the wheel well.

 

Amazing set up brother!!! You know what I love about us running RRW and Yokos? It’s not 99% of the people in so cal running SCS wheels on K02s. You need those protection rings though!!!

you got any close ups of your inside fender cutting next to cab mount?

side note:

@Discount Tire

dicked up two of my tpms sensors as confirmed by Toyota El Cajon and didn’t install one of the center cap bolts. Toyota quoted me $280 for repairs so I took the paperwork to Discount in Imperial Beach and they will make it right.

 

planning to run 33". i bought the falcon t8 seekers. 17.9 -38 offset. really eyeing the geolanders. would i be able to make it work?
