Offset Wheels.

Most here appear to look at wheel offset as an appearance factor. I have a function issue. I have a 2025 Off Road Premium, our first 4Runner. Maybe this was not an issue with previous versions but tire chains cannot be installed on 6th gen units. Not enough clearance between the tire and suspension components. During WA winters the state DOT may require tire chains on all vehicles except those with all wheel drive over our mountain passes. However when the weather is at its absolute worst the DOT sometimes requires chains on ALL vehicles, no exceptions. You are required to carry chains at all times over the mountain passes between Nov 1st and April 1st. Hefty fine if you get caught without them and/or attempt to circumvent the requirements. The only time I have ever used chains is off road in deep snow. Has anyone had this issue before? Because I will be off road in deep snow chances are I will need chains. Only way I can see to resolve the problem is off set wheels.

 

toyota 6G 4R you can put chains on it, its in the owners manual.

if you have the smaller oem tire size (265/70R18 tires per the manual) you cant mount chains

any other oem tire size you can mount.

 

I discovered that chains would not work on the 265/70-18 when I test fitted the chains from our Sequoia which should have fit. That's when I found out there may be clearance issues with the suspension components not the body like the manual says. The 265/70-18 is actually the largest diameter/tallest available OEM tire according to the Toyota website, the smallest being the 245/70-17 found exclusively on the SR5. The other OEM tire is the 265/55-20 which is actually a about an inch less in diameter than the 265/70-18. Crawling underneath I see that the 20 inch rim will provide more clearance from the suspension components. The smaller diameter will provide about an additional half inch clearance from the wheel well which I don't think will make a difference. I may end up with summer and winter sets of tires and rims.

 

Are the chains from your Sequoia class “s”?

 

like i stated, its all laid out in the owners manual. surprising what you can find in there.

 

Stock 6th gen wheels have high numerical offset, likely to keep width in check while sharing the TNGA-F platform with the Tundra/Sequoia. You can get +30mm offset wheels, which add an extra inch clearance with suspension components. Alternatively use 1" or 1.25" wheel spacers.
