Tire Size?

I recently was able to get 17" Sequoia/Tundra wheels for my '01 4Runner. What is the biggest tire I can fit with 2" of lift without rubbing? I'm thinking of 265/65-R17 or 265/70-R17.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What is your setup?? I see you have 1" pp springs.... so are you talking those and a 1" BL???

I would say 265/70/R17s would be a good choice.... 285/70/R17s would be too large....

I only have 1" PP springs and they give me about 1.5" of lift on front and about 2" in the rear.

You should be able to fit 265/70-R17s fine without rubbing.

Thanks everyone for the help!
I was able to put 265/70-R17 (Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo) and no rubbing at all!
