Need a vote on tires. Got the lift, got the wheels, need tires...

So. I have a 2" lift. 5100's, 887's, and ICON AAL.

I just purchased the SEMA 4Runner 17x7 wheels.

I am going with BFG KO's. But need help with a size. Don't want them to look too full in the wheel wells.

 

all of the above.

they are pretty much the same size....

 

heres mine with 265/70r17's. I want bigger to fill the wheel wells a little bit more. IMO they can look a tad small on my OME 2-3" lift. I rubbed during partial lock and compression entering steep driveway entrances when I was stock on this wheel and tire set up. Might have been fixable with a better alignment but no issues now with the lift.

 

the 275/70's are 32.2" should fit with a good alignment.

 

255/80R17

 

That thread title...

 

Is this a Bieber post?

 

285/70/17

 

Just did 275/70/16 onnmine no rubbing ... I have 10 “ wide rims too.

 

Such need in the world today.

 

mine sits 1/2 higher with my 265/70/17 ridge grapplers, compared to the 275/70/17 cooper at3's, i took off, smaller tire but sits higher, HUH , also 10 ply vs 6 ply,, love the ridge grapplers..

 

I voted for the round ones.

I changed the title just for you. Too many bourbons last night!

Thanks for all of the replies. Keep em coming,

 

I’m a bigger is always better fan (says the guy on 6” BDS and 35s )

That said, there have been a lot of complaints on the KO2s lately. My installer actually talked me out of them due to balancing issues and rubber compound inconsistencies. I went with Ridge Grapplers and love them. Don’t pass up the Nitto offerings.

 

Thanks. Ill check them out. Nitto makes a great product...

 

Do you think a 2" lift can accommodate the 275/70's?

 

there’s a lot more that matters than size of your lift. But you should be fine with 275/70 on those wheels.

 

Go it. What should I watch for? I didn't do UCA's. Already a little concerned about my alignment.

I have also hear that the 17x7's SEMA wheels aren't designed for tires that are too large. I dunno...

Information overload....

 

You shouldn’t have to do UCAs, but won’t know for sure until the alignment shop does their thing. 275s will work fine, plenty of people running 285s on that wheel. The only thing I’d be remotely worried about is UCA clearances... but you should be ok.
