    I'm in the process of lifting my 4runner (2019 SR5) and going to 285s. I want to keep my wheels... Still in the process of deciding but I believe I'll be using Eibachs Pro-Truck stage 2 lift kit. (they claim I won't need aftermarket UCAs)

    Why keep the wheels?

    #1. I like them. lol
    #2. I visit my in-laws in Houston Texas, and wheels get stolen ALOT there. (don't want to go to expensive after market wheels)
    #3. I'd rather spend the money on gas, and exploring then on wheels.

    These wheels have a +15mm offset, and are only 7" wide (I'm aware of the protentional danger of putting 285s on 7" wide wheels, but I'm not worried about it)

    1. Do you think I'll have any issues with fitment and clearing (being only 7" wide and having such a positive offset?
    2. Do you think I'll need wheel spacers to clear stuff? Or can I keep it in its stock

    Caveat: I have only ever had the stock wheels and tires on my 4Runner. But from what I’ve read, the +15 offset will make the tires rub less severely than wheels that push the tires more outboard.

    I have 275's on the snowflake wheels. I had to do the fender liner tuck to get rid of the rubbing. I have roughly 1/2" of clearance to the fender. By my eye balling, I think 285's will fit with a little bit of trimming. No forward caster or BMC. 2" lift.

    My SR5 buddy runs BFG KO2 LT285/70R17 Load C with "ReadyLift" 3in front and 2in rear lift. Without trimming anything it rubbed few days and after few trails runs i thinks the tires trimmed the bumper where it needs. LOL.
    I think he is at 70K miles going to put another set of BFG KO2's LT285/70R17 Load C tires on same 7in SR5 wheels. The lowest we have air down is 15psi based on my basic slime brand air pressure guage.

    I don’t know about sizing etal but my opinion is the SR5 wheels look very nice. I have an ORP and to be quite honest sometimes I like the look of the SR5 wheels better. They are just classic I guess.

    best wishes

    In most cases, sticking with stock wheels is actually the best for fitment.
