Quick confirmation: wheel purchase

2010 4Runner Limited; KDSS

What's up. I think I've done my homework reading on here and YouTube videos enough to pull the trigger on buying some 17 inch rims, but would appreciate your confirmation and thoughts for consideration beforehand. I don't think I need anything for the panhard or KDSS going 1" in front but could be wrong.

Current stock height and 20" rims will change as soon as the Eibach shocks arrive. Using stock springs, I plan on increasing the front suspension 1" to help better clear 265/70R17 tires (KO2, Nitto Grappler, maybe Wildpeak?...I'm undecided here but going for nicer road handling and low weight.) Its my DD and any tire will get me places I need to go when on dirt.

To the original question:
Rims: Am I correct thinking the following rim specs will work with a 264/70R17 without rubbing or other issues on a 1" lift?

Wheel - RRW RR7-H, matte bronze
Rim size: 17" x 8.5"
Bolt pattern: 6x139.7
Offset: -12
Backspacing: 4.28"

 

The limited has XREAS, not KDSS. Yes you can go with 17s.

 

Okay, cool. I know 17's work, I wasn't sure about that specific backspacing and offset. My understanding is that, that negative backspacing and offset will push the tire away from the caliper requiring more turning radius for the tire to clear the wheelwell.

I purposely left out XREAS because it will be removed when installing the Eibachs. I'll get under there again after work but thought it also had KDSS.

 

-12 will most likely rub and require trimming. Front lift on IFS will not help clear tires. They move fender liners for the Pros when fitting with +4.

 

265/70-17 is the stock tire size on the SR5 and TRD OR. Normally you'd be able to clear this tire on stock suspension, but not with those -12mm wheels. Get wheels close to (or even numerically higher than) the stock +15mm offset.

 

Okay. Good to know. Thank you.

 

Ah, okay. Even though I have a Limited, my going to a 17" introduces a different challenge. They don't offer the +15 offset you mentioned so I'm showing their entire list of available sizing: Google searches indicate the +0 should work, but AI is too new for me to trust such a purchase with.

Offset / Backspacing
+0 / 4.75"
-12 / 4.28"
-25 / 3.77"

This is the RRW wheel: $275 if pre-ordered

Not sure if this helps, but I put 0 offset, 5" backspacing, 17x9 wheels (Lock Offroad Baja) with stock size Wildpeak AT4 tires (265/70 17) and I've had the slightest amount of rub in only a few instances.

Clearance when turning:

 

Check out Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T. They were easy to balance, great road handling, and fantastic in the rain/snow.

 

Will do. Thank you.

 

Thanks, Mike - this does help. Are you stock height? I realize tires of the same size aren't alike so would be willing to lift 1.5" and/or melting the insert to reform it if that's what was needed.

 

Many aftermarket wheels aren't offered with positive offsets because they result in a narrower stance (like OE) and don't look good. You can either find other wheels with +15mm to +30mm offset or go with 0mm and deal with some cutting. Toyota even has a TSB for cutting the bumper on TRD Pros, because the +4mm wheels cause the stock size tire to rub on the bumper. Anyway, cutting plastic is trivial, though with Limited there's more of the plastic to cut.

 

I installed some SCS on our '24 with very similar specs (17x8.5" -10mm). You'll likely need to do a little bit of trimming along with some massaging of the wheel well liner and mudflaps. Nothing serious.

 

I'm lifted about 2". The thing about lifting is that it does not help with tire clearance. The reason is because, as the suspension compresses, the tire still needs to fit into the same size wheel well. People have modified the wheel wells- heating and pushing fender liners out of the way, getting "body mount chops" (cutting out a portion of the body mount and welding in a flat plate), etc to try and solve rubbing issues.

Here is a great video that explains this:
