Tires, after lift D:
Ok so I am still new but i recently just installed my 3'' OME lift kit with tokico trekmaster shocks. And all I have to say is I love the new look of the 4runner. But now i want some new tires for the truck. I am heading off to college soon so the time I will have available will diminish. I want some tires that will give me something more aggressive look then the 235's I have on there right now. But something that wont make my MPG go down too bad.
I was thinking about BFG AT 33x10.5x15, since i have stock 4runner alloy rims, but as I have been reading more and more threads (using search function to its limit) I hear more and more people say that this will reduce MPG by 2-3, and thats something I am not quite ready for atm. So I am asking for everybody's opinion on what tire size i should go.
Below is a pic of the 4runner with the new lift.

Yeah, that thing looks like a shopping cart---you need some bigger tires. 
You can't avoid the loss of MPG if you're going bigger. No way around it. Since you got a 3" lift, 285's would be the best fit (like Hutchs said), but 265's wouldn't be bad, either.
Gotta pay to play, SON!

Wow, those things look dinky! If it were me, I'd do 285's right off the bat. I did all terrain 265's and have regretted it ever since. I'll be doing Maxxis Bighorns in the 285 flavor when my current tires are shot. Good luck! Here's a pic...

285's would be your best bet for looks, but if your that concerned about mileage drop it back down to a 265. I've got 265/75/16's on my Taco, and that woprks out to be about a 32X11 almost. so, go for whatever fits your situation best between looks, and mileage, and price.
