Their nice! I wish I could have kept my 22's on my Toco but they rubbed way to much. So the DUB's will do!

question: whats gonna happen when you go to put your stock rims on for hard core wheeling and you have 18 inch disc brakes on there? or have you changed your mind about the whole 'changing tires' idea?

looks good but i like trucks with big tires to be lifted or trucks with big rims to be lowered...maybe you have started a new fad. : ) tata

outdoorfever beat me to it, if you upgrade the size of your rotors there is no go back in wheel size. I think that it is a little too much, maybe on a tahoe or something, it just doesn't flow right on the 4runner, i do actually like the wheels a lot though, just not on a 4runner. I think that a 20" wheel with a 35" tire would still look good on a 4runner. there is a guy here on campus with 20" and 35" or so on a lifted z-71 and it looks great. More power to you, i wish i could afford the 18" optional BBS wheels with some 35" treads, but thats just me.

to be honest with you I think you are one of the few to take their 4runner to this extreme. I personally think it is very innovative and something extremely different from others rigs. yours will stand out in the crowd. I give you props for going with 22s.

I second the "props" As long as you're really making it a truck you like, then you can't go wrong.

One helluva mall cruiser, I think it looks pretty kickass with those black 22's.
Not my thing, but if it was, I'd be drooling over it.

Congratulations on ruining an otherwise cool rig.

20's belong in 53's on Rockwell's.

22's do not belong on lifted trucks.

Why lift and but on bling. Wheeling it with those would be a huge waste, but it sure will be killer at the mall.

Usually I obey the "If you don't have anything nice to say..." but you posted asking for it, so here it is.

i think you need to decide, bling or off road. it just doesn't look right. But hey, you're rich so i guess you can do whatever you want, and then reverse it and throw it all away if you dont like it.

i think people arent appreciating the fact that you wouldnt even know any of what hes done was possible if he hadnt done it.

i think your work on your rig has been nothing short of ballsy.. i mean, no one has ALL the bells and whistles you have. youve reworked the interior, the exterior, the sound system, the offroading ability and now youve blinged.

i dont know what youll do next, but ill bet its something we've never seen a 4th genner do. while i dont agree with the 22s, i enjoy that i now know what that looks like

very interesting. I did not expect to like it but after seeing the pic it's pretty smooth. Of course I would not do that.

I unfortunately have to agree with everyone else...those really don't look that great. I forget the reason you went with those...either way I like the other ones a lot better...but its your truck so its up to you man.

i agree with PoBoy i want to see a side shot, i think it will look much better, that look so disproportionate from that angle that it looks like a chop.
