285/75R17 Toyo R/T Trail Tires on Method 703 Matte Black +35 Offset

[8RunnerOffRoad]

Charles came into 8Runner Off-Road with a 2025 4Runner TRD Sport and a clear goal: fit larger tires on clean, aggressive wheels without going overboard. The result? A dialed-in setup that balances performance, clearance, and aesthetics.

2025 4Runner TRD Sport build:

• Westcott Designs Lift Kit (6th Gen 4Runner)
• Toyo Open Country R/T Trail Tires – 285/75R17
• Method Race Wheels – 703 Black +35 Offset (x4)
• Method Race Lugs
• OEM TPMS Sensor (x1)

We mounted a set of 285/75R17 Toyo Open Country R/T Trail tires on Method 703 wheels in matte black with a +35 offset. This tire and wheel combo delivers excellent road manners, solid off-road grip, and a slightly taller profile that fills out the 6th Gen’s wheel wells just right. The +35 offset keeps the stance tucked in enough to avoid unnecessary trimming, while still giving it a more planted, aggressive look.

To support the new tire size, we installed a Westcott Designs lift kit, which provides the clearance needed without dramatically altering factory geometry. A full alignment followed to get everything tracking properly, and we added new TPMS sensors and Method Race lugs to wrap up the install.

If you're planning a similar setup on your 6th Gen 4Runner, the +35 offset on the Method 703s is a solid choice, enough clearance for 285s without excessive poke, and perfect for daily driving or moderate trails.

Very clean! The perfect daily setup, IMO.

I covet those wheels.

What is the height of the lift kit?

What is the height of the lift kit?

If it's the Wescott Lift Kit, that means it's the full preload collar kit.

The Preload Collar Lift Kit is 2.5" front and .75" rear... (the full 3-piece kit, which is top and bottom preload collars and the rear spacer for rear springs).
