    Hi all,

    I'm new here and have a question about what I'm looking to add to my 4Runner. Will adding Method 701 (17x8.5 Offset:0 Backspace 4.75) and Baja Boss A/T(LT265/70 R17) cause any rubbing? I called both manufacturers and they say "no" but wanted to double check with you guys.

    Thanks for the help

    I realize that. However, I’d prefer no rubbing if I can help it.
    I appreciate the help.

    You might have to remove your front mud flaps if you still have them on, they might rub at full lock while reversing. Shouldn’t rub anywhere also.

    Looks great! I'm considering these after my Toyos wear out. Those Methods look very similar to my Black Rhinos.

    Great movie! :D

    Couldn’t be happier. Zero issues with rubbing and the tires are great. Thanks again for all of the help.

    I was looking at the ATZ's before I bought my Toyo AT3's. They look beefy, but probably not the best daily driven AT. OTOH, the Baja Boss AT looks like it could be a very good all around tire.

    I hope you end up loving them!

    Your setup looks great. I love MT tires and have used them for years. I was REALLY tempted to grab these in 285's but went 255's instead for now. Had MT made them in 255/80 I would popped for them no doubt. If I decide to go the 285 route I'll probably go this way. I hope they add more sizes going forward.

    I love them. Very quiet and have much better traction than the Nittos it came with. (I wasn’t a fan of those, but that’s just my opinion) I originally looked at the LT A/T but the weight was a deal breaker.

    Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on what I should charge to sell my old wheels? They’re the black TRD. I’ve looked online but prices are all over the place. They’re in great shape.
    Thanks.
