Just wondering if anyone is running 22inch rims on there 4Runner's. I got a wicked deal on Eagle 22's from my cousin. He had them installed on his 99 limited. Any known issue's with having them installed? Comes with spacers and new rubber.

issues with rubbing when taken off road- although, i guess your 4x4 doesn't get much use if you're considering these

EWWW. What a terrible idea.

flat tires when hitting the smallest bump
Sorry I can't say if 22" would do this on a 4runner, but I see a lot of low profile tires trucks with flat tires from small bumps on the road.

22's are retarded. and dangerous. end of story.

Jay204

Dangerous?? RIGHT. Got anything to back that up? LIKELY NOT. Anyway...yes I knew there would be some hater's on this thread. I don't have low-profile tires like you'd be thinking. There 500$ each and I lose no ride quality. Also I have cooper STT's on my stock 16inch rims for when I go off-roading. so give or take 45min to switch it up to go off-roading. I will post a pic when I get off work. I think the truck looks sharp with the rims on. I know a lot of guys just do strictly off-roading with 4Runner's, but i just got new paint and a bunch of other add on's that make the truck very nice to drive around the city and just NOT the bush.



Did a screen capture cause my cousin didn't have a picture to email me on hand.

actually, 22s are dangerous because they really make the brakes work MUCH harder to stop, and braking distance is REALLY lengthened. and with low pros, if you so much as accidently go over a curb, you take a chance at bending and cracking the rim, cuz theres no room for sidewall flex.

yotasavg

why would the brakes be working harder if the overall diameter is the same???

hurricanes99

they wouldn't make the brakes work harder....unless the overall diameter has increased or increased weight....

ozziesironmanoffroad

from a 16 or 17" wheel to a 22" wheel? come on, larger brakes are needed. ...then again same goes for putting 35s and stuff on something that came with 31s...

olharleyman

Sorry but that looks HOOD RATISH maybe you need to SAS it to make it look better

what's the difference between jumpping off from a 2nd floor windown on to a cushion and on to cement floor, the distance were the same, right? taller side wall can damp lots of the shock caused by friction and make the stop bit smoother, less jerky.

I thought riding dirty was when you didn't listen to Gma's advice about wearing clean underware before you go out. Then got in an accident and was caught ridin dirty.

It's kinda funny you come onto a site that mostly caters to off-roading to ask about 22" rim fitment. Then state something about haters and ridin dirty. Now I ain't the smartest but I would think you'd get better results from a place that catered more towards that or your just trying to stir up drama. Now if thats the case we have a thread for that "Drama LLama lounge."

So here's a hint or two: 1)look at manufactor deminsions width and height then compare to popular tire sizes find the closest size then search. 2)put'm on and see if they rub

you so "white and nerdy" W. Al

Jay204

LoL...I thought this site was for ALL 4Runner's. I was just asking a simple question? Starting drama? Wow....you must live a sheltered life...maybe you were looking for drama but I wasn't. Always so quick to judge on here...I guess you missed the part where I mentioned i have cooper stt's I bolt on and off...but then again you were just out start a rant anyway.

NicCantDecide

Completely inaccurate. It has nothing to do with jerk.

Bigger rims means more weight on the wheel which means more rotational inertia. Rotational inertia in layman's terms basically means there's a lot more "weight".

Inertia = (constant)*(mass)*(radius)^2

The radius is squared, which means that its going to be the biggest factor in rotational inertia and therefore stopping distance. Bigger the rim, longer it takes to stop, not to mention they'll also be heavier which increases the mass as well. The constant doesn't matter, it depends on the shape of the mass we're talking about (in this case a hollow cylinder with spokes).

Metal's much more dense than rubber (your tire) so even if your overall diameter stays the same, jumping up to big rims like that will seriously affect your stopping distance unless they're made of some exotic metal like magnesium (which btw would cost an absurd amount of money).

So if you still want those 22" rims, I'd suggest driving like a granny and keeping your distance cuz our cars already suck at stopping or upgrading your brakes with stronger biting calipers and/or brake pads.

This site is catered to the off-road community but all are welcome.

How is he stirring up drama? He posted a question and YT members started to break out the big wheel flame gun. His response isn't even negative.

The only thing negative I saw in this thread are people making fun of someone else's Toyota when all the guy did was ask a question on a forum where he should be able to find the solution.

EvaMonky

Increased unsprung weight.

All that extra metal is extra inertia isn't going to stop itself.

At high speeds they can cause vibration, and if not balanced correctly, they can get very out of hand very quickly.

22's are dangerous simply because they throw the entire geometry out of whack. As other people have noted low pro's also get impact breaks easier.

There's a reason why nobody offers 22's as OE. 20'S are the biggest you'll find.

I'm feeling lazy, but there's a engineer from GM that goes into all the details why anything larger than a 20 inch wheel is bad, and why they'll never offer one.

This site might be for all 4Runners.... but I see "Yotatech The Off-Road Adventure Beings Here" at the top of my page, so this might not be the best place to find that kind of info.

Not that you won't find it though.

But since your cousin ran them, I don't see why you can't.

I think Fo_Cheesy was using 22's on his 3rd gen.

Caddilac offers 22 inch rims on the Escalade. (a GM product)

And if you got the rims cheap, go for it, if thats your taste. I just dont understand how people can drop 2-3 grand on rims when you could drop 2-3 grand in off-road perfomance that will get you places, oposed to looks.
