Just lifted the 4Runner right around Thanksgiving and I am wanting to regear it and put on some sweet rubber. I just want to see what I can look forward to and get an idea of what looks the best. I will say that I REALLY BADLY want to put on 35's but I am told they will rub like crazy. and if you have re geared your Runner let me know.

Thanks

You might need to make you picture a little bigger...

 

That picture makes your 4Runner look HUGE!!!

 

35"s will rub like a fat chick in corduroy!! lol Why not throw on a set of 33x12.50's?

 

haha...my bad i am trying to upload in a smaller size...

 

hows is it now?

 

Pic looks much better now... RE the tires, I've got 285's (~33's) on mine, and I think they're perfect. (see the link in my sig if you want pics) Going to 35's is no easy task, do a search and you'll find a few threads where guys have done it. To do it properly, you'll be looking at wheel spacers or rims with less backspacing, re-gearing, doing some trimming, and doing some major pounding with a BFH. If you wheel hard, you'd probably end up having to tub your fenders too.

 

35's require major trimming on only 2-3" of lift like you have.

If you don't wheel hard then you'll get away without the firewall tubbing but at the very least you'll have to trim the back corners of the front fenders.
Not to mention, a re-gear is necessary.

 

X2 would've saved you some typing scuba.

 

It also would have made me look like a post whore that has nothing better to say than "x2."

 

Go 35" inch meats and 5.29 in the diffs and never look back. Someone said something about wheel spacers to clear, dont do that, spacers sucks.

 

I second that on the spacers..

but I say just got with some 285's or 33x10.5's Remember that if you go with aftermarket rims try to stick as close as you can to the stock backspacing. I think stock is around 4.3 or something. It's somewhere on this site. Anything larger will rub the upper control arm.

 

i am going with the 285's for sure. I think i am doing BF Goodrich Mud Terrains KM2... I am getting 4:88's as well. I WANT SO BAD to put in a locker but thats another 1200 if not more. The tires alone are going to run me 1200 and I have no idea how much gears are going to cost plus the installation. if you know, help me out here.

 

The BFG muds are a good choice. Get a lock right locker from richmond gear and it will cost ya about $300. East coast gear supply is the way to go for R&P sets and rebuilds.
