Size: 295/70R17 (33.3") or 35x12.50R17

4Runner-Specific Tips
- The 4Runner has slightly less fender clearance than a Tacoma — be careful with offsets over -12mm
- Upgraded upper control arms are recommended above 2" of lift
- KDSS-equipped 4Runners (Off-Road and TRD Pro) require KDSS-compatible lift kits
