    Actually, no. Not that bad, just requires cutting and beating on some shit. They 'fit' ;)

    Fitting 35's on our '05 Runner is no different than when I did it on my 07 Tacoma back in the day (circa 2009-2010, one of the very first)

    Definitely, the rear doesnt require much cutting(in fact almost none if you run the Metal Tech rear LT with the bump stop extensions) but the front bumper is a definite clearance killer, as is the body mount and pinch seam. Next comes the top of the wheel wells at full bump

    Also, lets just say that no vehicle I(we) own is on anything less than 35's. Our '05 Runner, wife's 5th gen, my 3rd gen Tundra, and another Tacoma build we're just starting. :cool: :rockband: 35's are just that awesome. haha

    I may be on 35's with no body lift soon....which reminds me I still have a 1/2" body lift that I never put on my old 4runner.

    I'll let you know. I bought it used and planned on installing it, but got over it when I decided I wanted a Tundra.

    The top of the wheel well is the biggest pain. Only real way to solve that is engine cage and chop all that sheet metal out. It's the only place I rub without a body lift after cutting into the footwell about 3 inches.

    Only reason I am is because I'm getting 5 LC wheels with 35's for $100. The tires are worn, but definitely have 5-10k left and it's only on a dedicated wheeler.
