TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

ill do this

 

ive never messed w the pinch weld.. time to do some hammering

 

They cause cancer, don't do it...

Planned on running spacers?

Is this because of the added width more so than height?

 

@4Running Daily
Do you have Tundra breaks? If so, how'd you clear them with your LC wheels. Don't recall you having spacers

 

I do not have Tundra brakes because supposedly they only clear the LC wheels if you have a inch spacer.

 

It's not bad at all. You'll want to trim some of the fender liner and hammer the pinch weld.

A little of both, but yeah the width is what usually catches on the fender liner and such. The 255's are skinnier than stock tires so when it flexes it won't rub the top edge and rear of the fender.

There are two different LC wheels. 93-94 are the acorn lugs and won't fit over 231's but the 95-97 LC wheels use the washer type lugs and do fit over the 231's.

 

Interesting, I've never heard this before. I have the washer type lugs so I guess that means I'm good and I can get rid of my spacers. I have much too much "stance" for my liking. I really want to narrow my wheel base some because I think my tires are sticking far too much out.

 

I never ran the 95-97 wheels with my 231's but I'm pretty sure they work. I do have one sitting in my backyard that I could throw on my Tundra if I get ambitious.


Just looked through BFAD TBU thread and it says LC wheels will it fit without a 1/4 spacer. You might be stuck with the spacers for now.

 

In that case I'll likely just get the TBU 199mm and hope they fit. Anything is an improvement really.

 

i need sleep

 

Nah sleep's for the weak!

 

Road tripping to Charlotte, NC today. I'll be playing with my brothers Audi and E39

Does the 2014 4runner have the lean if toytec springs are used. I have the spacer was wondering if it will be a problem for future install.

 

driver's side lean?

 

@SixthSnail ^^

 

Yes do they end up with the lean without the spacer.

 

i know some generations have the lean in the REAR, but that is usually fixed with one of the springs being taller than the other.

 

reference? im curious about this now

 

so whenever you put your springs in the rear, make sure to check your labeling

 

Ok. I'm about to order the 5100s front and rear and ome 889 rear springs. I have 2.5" toytec springs already from the tacoma.
