🛠️ Member Build It begins (and probably ends)

Method wheels installed today. Exactly what it needed. 17 x 8.5 / 35. 285/70 Toyo ATIII. No lift. No rub. It’s maybe 2mm away from inner rub in the front, and might rub under heavy compression, but not under normal road use.

Probably not going overboard on mods, but will add roof rack, and a front bumper / winch combo at some point.

Looks good!

Are those stock tires with new rims? or did you go to 35" Can't tell from the picture. Also did you get the lift. I think it looks great. I have the same GX (Incognito).

They’re the same as stock - Toyo Open Country ATIII, but they’re 285/70/17. Not 35”. Closer to a true 33. No lift either. Mine is Atomic Silver, but Incognito looks great too !

The tires give it a beefier look. Let us know if there is any significant difference in milage.

I literally have the exact same setup, except I put the Nitto TRG’s on. I noticed the same vibration before with the stock wheels and tires, and the same now. I’m thinking it’s maybe suspension related, have you noticed anything concerning? Thanks

Man....these Atomic Silvers look good. Atomic was my first choice color but a white Overtrail with no moon roof came available early so I jumped on it.

Ride quality is the same after wheel / tire install. I went with the Toyos for that reason - hoping the same OE tire would give the same ride quality.

Nice looking combination

I have the roof rack for sale 600$ but you would have to pay shipping.

It has a stock roof rack. See the pic.

 

[StephenTeague]

Yes

 

[jreifler]

Yes

Yes, what ?

 

[StephenTeague]

The same as you got! Sorry!

Supposed to get my Nori Green OT+ next week. I am looking at a similar setup with 285/70/17 probably BFG AT. I am wondering some TRD 4runner wheels might work and perhaps I can swap the Lexus center caps. Just not sure about offset. Link to the 4runner wheels. Anybody have any insight on that route??

I did those on my Gen 4 Runner. They were better but you should check the offsets. You’ll want some positive offset. But can prob get a little more width using spacers.

New here. What happens to the old wheels and tires on such a replacement?
Do they get traded in at the shop ?

No, you sell them on the secondary market. I.e., here or FB or wherever.
