      Well, the tire is approximately 1 inch taller, you have to measure from the hub for the radius, not the diameter, which means it’s only half an inch as others have said. So essentially you have a 2 inch lift with an additional lift of half an inch of tires of 2 1/2 inch total lift. I just want to make sure you know incorrectly advising others.

      @@4Runner_4ever I guess that depends where you’re measuring from. But in essence you are correct, tires provide the truest form of clearance and lifting it for the most part is to help fit larger tires, as well as chopping the body, etc.

    Drives me insane Toyota markets the TRD line as "off road" and then they make them with super small Fender wells. 4runner, Tacoma, Tundra. All of them. Then look at how much room Jeep gives. If you put a 2" lift on a wrangler of Gladiator you can clear a 37 with no rubbing at all

      @francisngo  Před 3 lety +9

      You're not wrong and understandably, I think Jeep was built with the intention of it being off-road first while the 4Runner was built with on-road comfort first in mind. To me, the 4Runner is perfectly balanced (with the exception of it lacking power and more gears). At the end of the day, the 4Runner works for me and it can be built to be as capable as a Jeep but Jeep isn't going to get anymore comfortable on-road due to the front solid axle.

      You are 100% correct as the Jeep Rubicon stock from the factory is capable of the Rubicon Trail ! Yes bigger tires help off road but when is enough enough and no one with 37 wants to talk MPG and you put more miles on getting to the trail than on the trail.

    Another option for those not wanting to do a ton of trimming but still want larger diameter tires is to look at the 255/80/17's - still a 33" tire, but you run less of a risk (at least with stock wheels) with rubbing on UCA's or body mounts. Also, the decreased weight and rolling resistance of the 255's usually will result in less of a mpg hit than the 285's.

      I’ve seen these slim tires work just as well for regular terrain and even better in mud. Sand... not so sure but airing down can make that wide foot print. The foot front leg the will still be very large. It could be argued that for what a near stock 4Runner can do, wider tires don’t actually do much. (Like extreme rock crawling requires a highly modified vehicle well above. A 2-4” lift.

    Hey thanks, man. First review I ever see where someone mentions that the stock TRD Pro wheels with a 2" lift may not rub if wrapped in 285/70R17s. I know that this is not a guarantee, but it gives me more confidence to consider replacing my stock 265s with 285s instead of the sure-fire 275s. Great review!

    I had K02s on my truck and really liked them. They held up really well over the 60,000kms I put on them before trading in the truck. I have Duratracs on my 4Runner and I'm quite happy with them as well. The Duratracs handled remarkably well in the recent snowfall we received in Southwest Ontario (Canada). In 4H, it made a foot of snow an absolutely breeze. I'm still torn on whether I prefer the Duratracs over K02s; I might give the Duratracs a sight edge in traction.

    Super nice looking rig, but a 2" taller tire only gives you a 1" lift, as you can only take half of the increase in tire size due to measuring from the middle of the wheel to either top or bottom. Thanks for the info, I'm trying to figure out whether I need to switch to TRD Pro wheels versus my TRD Off Road based on off sets, since I'm going to try 255/80-17. Hoping to avoid any rubbing based on it being more narrow but they are slightly taller than the 285/70's.

  • @davec8894
    @davec8894 Před rokem

    Just got my 2020 ORP (non-KDSS) back from dealership yesterday. Went with their recommendation as Toyota Warranty is very, very particular about changes, because I have the Southeastern Dealer Limited Lifetime Engine and Drive Train coverage. Dealership would only install a 3/2 ReadyLift kit (to retain warranty) and I chose the BFG K02 285/70/R17 upgrade. Came w/stock TRD Pro rims so did not option aftermarket rims. Excellent point that you mention them in your video as most people overlook the fact that aftermarkets (and other Factory rims!) can have different +/- offset. The TRD Pro's are designed for this size tire WITH a lift kit. Don't forget to do the 4-wheel alignment!!!!!! Have not been on the trail YET.....but have been jumping a few speed humps in the neighborhood (and crawled a couple of ditches) to exercise the travel trying to find any interference. Yep it is tight (maxed out tight!), however NO rubbing what so ever, still got the mud flaps, and the Warranty Department gave blessings. Oh, and replaced the spare with same, YES it does fit in the tire well. Any bigger you are definitely trimming and probably going to have to go with the external carrier rack. Thanks for the video and helpful info! Happy Trails!

    @3:19 If you increase the diameter of a tire by 2 inches you do not gain 2 inches in ground clearance. You only gain one half of the diameter or the radius which is 1 inch of ground clearance.

      You're not wrong... that said, people seem to get away with it with these without damages, provided you don't drive it like a maniac. They are very durable but it all depends on the driver and amount of care. Would not go bigger than 285's though. In fact, I'd favor a 175 for sure. One size up is minimal and no cutting needed so better if you dont want to start trimming.

    • @carbonking53
      @carbonking53 Před 3 lety +7

      You are correct on the ground clearance increase provided by solely doing a tire upsize. However, your claim of "tremendous amount of stress to every component" is flat wrong. Do you add some additional stress with lifts, larger tires, and accessories? Yes, you do. I've had several 4Runners over the last two decades and all have been properly lifted, tires upsized, supercharger added, and other accessories and gear placed on or in the vehicle. I've driven them all well into the six figures of mileage and have never had a major mechanical failure. A stock 4Runner will get you around town and do OK in winter weather. A properly lifted and accessorized 4Runner will leave the stock 4Runner in the dust however when the pavement ends or the winter weather is nasty.

Because when I running 285s with no lift, the sound of rubbing was unbearable and I knew I was causing wear/tear.

    • @francisngo
      @francisngo  Před 3 lety +2

      Yes if you take a look at the chart in the description, 275s tend to not rub but every vehicle is different due to weight, alignment, suspension, wheel size and etc. I even heard people not having any rub issues on 285s and some that do. I was hoping I didn't but I am going to do a BMC since the new wheels are wider and I am rubbing big time now.

    I’ve got about the same amount of rubbing with a smaller 275 BFG T/A KO2 on an SR5 (not TRD). Why am I getting the rubbing with a smaller tire? Is it because I’m not TRD?

    • @francisngo
      @francisngo  Před 2 lety

      The wheel well shouldn't matter too much between 4Runner trims with the exception that the TRD Pro does have a 2" lift and does help a little but every 4Runner alignment is different and depends on various components such as wheel size, tire brand, suspension kits, and alignment.
      This is why some 4Runner owners will notice rubbing on size 275 tires while some might not get rubbing on size 285 tires.
