I vote 1. Don't listen to these douchebags saying that your car is trashy. I don't drive a customized vehicle but I can appreciate one that's done in good taste. You can definitely have a classy looking off road vehicle if done correctly.

You got magnetic grey? Nice. I think the bronze, or a gunmetal, wheels look great on them.

SCS makes some neat ones.

I like the F-5 ones as well. I think the old ones really worked with the lines on the 4runner, being more angular.

You thinking bigger than 17 or 18?

Ideally I want an 18" rim but the selection is piss poor so I think I'm gonna settle for a 17"

I have the LTD 20s on now and I'd rather more sidewall for NOLA's shitty streets. I put enough knots in my Acura rims that I don't wanna do it to these.

Maybe slow down The factory 20s on my F150 are fine, and it's been down some of the shittiest NOLA streets.

Yea 18 is tough. These BFD come in 18s.


They're similar to the Konig Six Shooters.

yeah, but I am sure your tires are a lot beefier than my runner tires

Thanks, saw those. Don't really like them.

If I could get the SCS stealth 6 in 18s (which I saw there was an attempt at a groupbuy 6 months ago), that would be ideal.

I don't know the exact measurements but I can guarantee you those raptors have more sidewall

Your OEM size is 245/60, which comes out to a 5.76 inch sidewall height and 31.52 overall height.

Mine is 275/55, which is 5.93 inch sidewa;; and 31.86 overall height.

So they're very close.

ETA: I don't have a Raptor. Those run 17s with a 35 inch tire.

Honestly those factory 20s look so much better than anything you've posted IMO. If you're only changing them to get more sidewall, I would recommend you don't.

I promise your rims will hold up with the factory spec tires unless you do something that would trash any size rim.

Fair enough. I still want more sidewall. And my options for tires on a 20x7" rim are very limited.

This guy put 275/55 Nittos on his factory rims. I would do something like this if I was you.
