4runner

Do you know if any company makes 275/50-20 tires? I figured they would be the closest size to my 2000 4runner 4WD Limited's tires.
I know most of you are putting 275/45-20, but they are a little smaller then what the factory tires are, so I figured if I would not get the right sized tires, I would get 285/50-20s to better cover the fender gap. Do you know if these would rub if I did a 2 inch drop?
I don't go offroad at all except for occasionally going over curbs and through medians.

sorry about all the question but any help is appreciated

It's doubtful they would rub, but it's possible.
What's the stock tire size?
Have you done the drop already (and do the stock tires rub at all)?
The 285's are only 10mm wider than the 275's but they are 5mm taller (in total height, so 2.5mm taller in radius).
The height difference between the 275/45/20 and 275/50/20 isn't much (about 1/2"), and depending on the tire manufacture, the tires themselves may not be exactly what the tire size calculates they should be (confused yet?).
Anyway, the 275/45/20 will theoretically improve your off-the-line performance, but it may not be noticable. Your highway rpm's may also be higher, but MAYBE by only 100 or so.
Try searching tirerack.com for the tire size you want. It may be that noone makes them (or rare size = more$$ for the same tire).
Hope this helps,
Todd
