    I’m not sure if I’m in the right place but I was wondering if anyone knew if 33s will fit on stock height of a 5th gen 4Runner. Also looking for a 4” lift as well. Hopefully some of you guys can help a brother out on some suggestions. Thanks!

    33's will not fit with stock height. 3" is the max lift you can go without going to a drop bracket style lift.

    33.1” tire, no lift. It fits.

    I have a deal with my work that I can trade in the tires that it comes with for a straight up swap of brand new tires. Have to be firestone or Bridgestone. I’d like to take them up on his offer obviously. I was thinking a 285/70/17. I have to do it before the tires have 500 miles on them so time is of the essence. Again thank you for the replies!

    I went 255/80/17 and experienced no rub.

    You WILL rub with 285/75/17.

    The advantage of a tall skinny tire like mine, no rub without lift and better MPGs than a wide 33”.

    I had to do the front fender liner mod (pushing it forward and redrilled the mounting holes) and a bit of bumper trimming. I also trimmed some of the mudflap off where it bulged but I have zero rub on stock suspension. Open Country RT 285/70/17

    Rotiform they're usually big in the lowered car scene but have made some cast off-road versions of their popular road wheels . This is the SIX-OR model

    Daohaus,
    Are those 285/70R17 Rotiforms = 33.0" in diameter? If so have you re-geared or is the stock gearing handling those tires...

    I have 33.4" tires (Nittos) with a 3-inch lift, and needed a slight BMC. I re-geared to 4.88, but also have a lot of additional weight on my rig. I don't necessarily think re-gearing is critical with just a 33" tire swap, but it doesn't hurt (the wallet maybe...).

    It's stock gearing right now and honestly I didn't notice a huge hit in performance, even my speedometer didn't get thrown off like it did on my previous 3rd taco . You'll be fine but as @JosephMehta mentioned if you stats adding weight you'll have to think about it

    Do you happen to have more pics or an IG I can check out? Im contemplating moving from my 285/70/17 to a 255/80/17. I like the taller tire look as it fills the wheel well nicely.

    Thanks!

    @teknikk7 i know you didn't ask me but thought i'd share anyway. Also, coming back from a camping trip this weekend with 20+ miles of tight mixed terrain going up and down on stock suspension I didn't have an issue w/ these tires.

    TBD!
    @Daohaus did you ever upgrade the suspension or keep it stock? Any issues later on down the road?

    I'm looking at swapping the rubbers on my TRD Pro wheels for the 255/80/17 Cooper STMAXX's and have found mix responses... 2011 SR5 has 5100's all around and the front set to .85" so hoping they'll work without the need for a bigger lift or UCA upgrade.

    @teknikk7, which route did you end up going?
