Good looking rig! I just put some Black Rhino Reno wheels on my TRD Pro. They look similar to yours. Happy to see that look on other trucks. Thanks for the video.
Do you think increasing tire size is essential for off-roading, or do you think a good set of AT tires in the stock size would get me by? I love my 4runner and I want what is best for it, but it is also my daily driver and would like to save if MPG when possible.
I don't think increasing tire size is essential. I have a similar 4Runner, and I went with the stock size tires, just in an all-terrain tread. I went with the General Grabber ATX, I like them a lot, and I can still get over 20 MPG on road trips. The 285s are not only a little taller, they're also a good bit wider than stock, which increases rolling resistance which will decrease your MPG. Also, depending on the tire, they can be quite a bit heavier than the stock size tire, which will further degrade your performance and MPG. I think that unless mainly use the vehicle for off-roading, or are doing it purely for looks, the stock size is better.
What trimming did you do ? The standard removal of the mud flaps and trimming the front bumper? And moving the inner fender forward? I’m getting ready to go to 285’s on my SR5 16 4Runner. I installed the bilsteins front and back at 1.75 front and 1” cornfed spacer in the back per your video.
@@DrivenCompanion thank you for the reply. I might your suggestion/imput. I currently have bilstein 6112 front and 5160 rear. The front is set at max height and I have 1.5-2" lift springs in the rear. Do you think I should lowered it down a little? It's sitting a bit high for my liking. I also have 285 70 17 ko2 on factory wheels and spc uca. Thanks in advance.
Do you think these 285s would fit on my grit here stock 2021 4runner nightshade? He’s looking for a bit more aggressive tire. I forget if you’re lifted or on spacers. He isn’t so would he rub? Thanks.
No, 285s won't fit stock without rubbing. Mike has his lifted about 2in, and he also had to chop the front body mount in order to prevent the front tires from rubbing. There's actually a lot of work that goes into fitting a marginally larger tire on these. Also, the Nightshade will have 20 inch wheels, so the tire size will be a bit different anyway. He could probably get away with going up one size in height as long as the width stays the same. On these, a lot of the times they rub because of the width, not necessarily the height. That's the reason that Mike had to do the body mount chop.
Mike C, in a previous video, you mentioned doing a diff drop. Curious if you've done this yet & why considering the lift is < 2inches? many thanks in advance & loving the new look!
@@DrivenCompaniongreat vid, what tire pressure do you use with the bigger 285s? I have 285s on my 4th Gen but the mpg is horrible. Can’t really figure it out

About to get 285’s on mine Tuesday this video was helpful!
Great upgrade!
Did you do 285 with 1.75 inch Bilstein lift?
Are you gonna detail what trimming and clearance you had to do for rubbing?
This x100?
!!!!!
Would be nice to share all the details

4R looks good
Hello, is the body mount chop required for 285 70 17 tires and the stock TRD ORP Wheels?
Thanks

I had a body mount chop done and then a small amount of trimming and adjustments of the inner fender liner.
Looks nice!
Looks nice. Are you selling your old setup?
If I can find a buyer!
So are u 1.75”/1.5”? How’s the rake?
🔥🔥
With an 1.25” lift in the front do you think the BMC in needed for 285s?
Looks good man! Where is this trail at?
Any issues with white paint? Love the upgrades!
Love it! What offset were these rims?
That looks nice. How high did you lift your 4runner?
1.75/1.5"

@@DrivenCompanion I already purchased a pair of 1"-1.5" springs. Just in case.

Okay but cutting? Rubbing? Offset size?
Hi, im thingking on going on this route. What is rim offset? Does it recquire regearing?
-10 offset and I haven't regeared... drives fine in my opinion.
Why did you go away from the FN wheels? Any quality issues?
Nope, just wanted a new look.
Mike C, in a previous video, you mentioned doing a diff drop. Curious if you've done this yet & why considering the lift is < 2inches? many thanks in advance & loving the new look!
Diff Drop is required over 3 inches and not a bad idea as you near 3 inches. I only went up 1.5 inches so I decided to forego it.
Mike, have you thought about Spacers?
Don't think I'll need them with the negative offset on these wheels
I get it now
Looks great!!! How’s the MPG now that you have the 285 on the 4Runner?
There's been a slight drop but not as bad as I thought... maybe 1 mpg?
@@DrivenCompaniongreat vid, what tire pressure do you use with the bigger 285s? I have 285s on my 4th Gen but the mpg is horrible. Can’t really figure it out
Do they 285 70R 17s fit on a stock 5th Gen 4Runner?
On trd pro
Stard bro 👍🏻⚡
Your guyses? Did he say your guyses?!
What’s your gas mileage?
If I could afford it, would l8ve your old wheels
was a lift necessary for the 285s?
Others might tell you otherwise but I'd recommend it... and a body mount chop
What offset did you go with?
-10
-38?
He went -10
Selling FN’s?
Already sold them
