The tires and wheels finally showed up. I much prefer the fitment of the 35x11.5x17 vs the 12.5. I appreciate the recommendations @Franco . Method MR305NV 17x8.5 +25. Ready lift slim crash bars and no lift at the moment.

Thanks! They are the signature lux dual beam fogs from Australia. I had the Diode Dynamics SSC1’s but they were barely brighter than the OE. These Signature Lux ones you can drive on without the headlights, that’s how bright they are. The quality is meh but it’s probably the brightest option out currently for our trucks.

One last question - was on the Lux website. Which ones fit? The Wildtrak/XLT?

Looks great! Sorry if you posted elsewhere but what's the WxH on these tires? 255/85? And that grill lightbar? Is that just any lightbar or was it manufactured specifically for the Ranger grill?

Falken Wildpeaks are my tire of choice on most of my 4wd/AWD vehicles due to their excellent snow performance, good off road and light weight. They are really quiet on the road. I have heard the BFGs get noisy as they get older. That said, BFGs are great tires too
Did you have to remove the crash bars or trim anything in the fender well?

Sorry been off the forum for a while. Removed the crash bars, no trimming
Your truck looks amazing! I think in an earlier post you said you were originally going with +35 offset, what made you go to +25? I have Method 703 17x8.5 +35 just waiting for the same tires to show up so I wonder since I have +10mm more offset if I will still need to remove the crash bars. I don’t mind ordering the ReadyLift high clearance set.

Thank you! I have moved on from that build and now driving a 2025 4Runner (My wife said I was driving the RR like an asshole... And someone made me an incredible offer)

To answer your question you may be ok but they may look a little tucked. Mine were flush with the fenders to the point that I wanted a 12.5 35" tire

I have a 2025 4 Runner TRD ORPH on order with a Feb ETA, hope you don’t miss the RR! As for my RR I don’t mind a little tucked, less chance of gravel/rock spray and tire hitting the fenders from full bottom out. I may do the collars like you did to help prevent some of that bottoming out the tire making contact.
