what do you guys reccomend for my 2002 4runner sport i want to keep my mpg's as close to where they are and i dont want the tires to rub ..it has stubbs sliders and the ss 7.1 kit so about 2.5-3 in. of lift.. also rims are stock 16x7 pics would also help too... thanks guys

 

What do you get for mileage now? I had 265's stock since running the 285's and SS lift I was getting 17 flat.

not to hi-jack but i was also wanting this same comparison. Does anyone have 255s on a limited. I was just curious if they would look too narrow with the limited flares.

 

I would be interested in this also... I have looked around and havent found a pic.

 

im getting right about 300 mpg's per tank.. what tires you think? im leaning toward firestone destinations mt's size 285 on 16 in rims

 

I plan on going 255's for my next tire.

 

a bunch of pics of my 02 sport are at www.soaztim.com
The 02 flares seem larger than earlier ones. They may be as large as limited or close.
My .02 is that they look good. From the rear or front straight on they look skinny, but I think that some land cruiser wheels would work well to get them just a bit further out in the fender well.

 

imo...255's would look abit thin on a ltd/sport flared runner. lookup huskyrunner on this site..he's got 255/85's on stockers i think, and they look great. however...he's running SR5 trim sans flares.

id actually rather run 255's over 285's on a LTD...but on wheels that have less backspacing...that should also solve any rubbing issues.

 

I have 255's on an '00 limited.

not to threadjack, but i almost killed myself and my wife last september on one of those passes on the loop ....may have been engineer ..not sure. ...everything was cool until we got in the snow ...that was NOT fun. ...i almost slid off the road several times ....it would always stop right at the edge of the road.... after the first time, my wife decieded to walk until we got to lower elevation.
