How to fit 35" tires on your (4th gen) 4Runner

- Hey guys, I decided to throw a short video together explaining everything I had to do to fit 35 x 12.50 x 17" tires on my 4Runner.
Here's the breakdown:
- Body mount chop (BMC)
- 3" lift (no body lift)
- SPC UCAs (caster setting A)
- Adjust LCA CAM bolts (Pho Runner explains this well, link to his video below)
- Lots of trimming the fenders
- Cut and hammer the pinch weld
- 1.25" wheel spaces (unless you have negative offset wheels, mine at +5)
- Relocate windshield wiper washer fluid into the engine bay
- Extended bump stops front and rear

Great video and quite informative. 👍🏻
Thank you!
Icon has amazing adjustable UCA's
04 baby let’s go!!!! 🙌 I have one too
Sweet 4th Gen man! Haven’t committed to go with 35s yet 😆 if I do gonna regear and do fj axle swap get that E-Locker
That’s a great idea
Good video. I have a similar set up, fox 2.0, SPC uppers, wheel spacers with Dobson rear springs. I will say if you off-road “hard” you WILL rub. If you really want to get all the articulation out of the front you need to cut into the firewall. Just adjusting the stock LCA cam tabs isn’t enough.
But good video not a lot out there for 4th gens on 35’s
Ok...you just "out-tired-sized" me ha ha! I did the body mount chop a while ago. Last week, I just put 34s on my 4Runner. Those 35s look great!
Haha thanks man! I’m digging them too. Next mod is a regear to 4.88s. I thought my 4runner was slow on 33s… sheesh!
@@rollinwiththeolins8998 Good call. I have 4:88s and also put an ARB air locker on the front since the diff was open. The 4:88s make a huge difference! A lot of guys with 35s even go to 4:56. That is what Xoverland did with their new build. But, tough call to go to 4:56 especially if you do a lot of highway driving. I'm not sure I would. I also have the Pedal Commander and that together with the 4:88s is perfect on 34s.
Thank you for the knowledge
Glad you found it helpful!
I just got my lift installed. Have stock 18” rim and 265 on. Looks like those almost rub my UCA.
Not bad. Stock gearing? How is your mpg now jw?
Great vid! Of the ball question… love the headlights, brand and where did you purchase? Thx
Thanks! They are spec-d head lights and I got them off of e-Bay
You can make custom ones at TEQ custom as well for some extremely clean and new style lights. I paid $950ish with a coupon 6 months ago and just got mine, but they were worth the wait. You should check them out at the least
Good over view of what you did for 35s
Noice!
Where do you get the front bumper.
Setting A on your SPC’s? Are you sure? I’m curious to see or hear about your alignment specs…
I’m on setting F, 35 x 12.5 x 17, -38mm offset. LCA with Taco tabs and front center, rear out. 4th Gen 4Runner
Most folks on 35’s are on setting G on their SPC’s on our rigs.
Hey Dave, yup. Caster setting A worked for me. I followed Pho Runners direction on this, his video link is in the description. My issue was my wheel was still hitting the frame/body, so I had to push it as far forward as possible towards the front bumper.
Nice -38mm wheels! I’m going to be getting rid of my wheel spacers and going with this offset in the future.
🔥Do you have extended bump stop on front or rear?
Yes I do on both. I went with wheelers super bump stops.
@@rollinwiththeolins8998 awesome! Do I need a transmission cooler to run 35s for the v6?
Just a random question but would it possible to put a 6 inch lift on a 4th gen 2WD
Yeah search up FJ cruiser 6 inch lift. Lots of people have posted on the forms that they did this lift on their 4th gen. Hope that helps.
When u trim the flares, does it allow more dirt to come in the truck?
Yes it does allow a little bit more dirt to get on the truck cause there’s less fender flare to cover the tire. I get the most dirt from the wheels sticking outside the fenders though.
Are you able to still off-road it with out rubbing issues I’m trying to decide on 34/35s or body lift vs no body lift thank you for your information
Yeah it rubs very slightly when I really articulate the suspension but it doesn’t rub enough to cause any issues.
@@rollinwiththeolins8998 sorry don’t want to bother you bub but did you do a diff drop at all an what gears are you running
@@matthorton1906 haha happy to answer your questions man. No diff drop and stock gears but planning to run 4.88s in the future.
@@rollinwiththeolins8998 awesome sauce I have an 05 with the v8 an keep going back in forth on 4.88 vs 4.56 so all input is awesome on people that actually have experience
Yeah without body lift it’s just more fender trimming. +4 caster at least. I have a 5th gen 35s
What bumper are you running? Is there a link?
CBI. I’m not sure exactly where it’s located on their website. I’m pretty sure it’s the only one they make for the 4th gen though.
i like all but the trimming in the front back of the tire man, nice video though
Thank you!
Are those OEM TRD Wheels? At OEM width?
Yep. These wheels are why I have to run spacers. I’m thinking of going negative offset in the future so I can get rid of the spacers. If you’re going 35s, I recommend getting wheels with negative offset.
@@rollinwiththeolins8998 what's the offset on those TRD wheels?
@@agentchowdown4938 +5
What offset would I need to run with no spacers?
U still alive?
Don't need a body mount Chop if you have a 2 inch body lift
The current state of SPC's quality control is GARBAGE. They've had production quality issues with the ball joint for at least a year or more. IMO, they are no longer an option I'd recommend to anyone.
What would you recommend
@@FlaccidFrog there are a few vendors that make a great uniball UCA. I have Camburg UCAs on one and Total Chaos on the other. Both have been great.
