TRD Sport on 1" Lift + 18" TRD Pro Wheels + 275/70/R18 Nitto Terra Grappler G3 Tires

SportRunner · Apr 11, 2025

Hey guys. This is my first post. Thought I’d show the stance of my Sport Premium after installing a 1” ReadyLift leveling kit, and 18" TRD Pro wheels (+20 offset) wrapped in 275/70/R18 Nitto Terra Grappler G3 treads (SL load range). This is my wife’s daily driver so comfort was a major factor in choice of tires.

I’m running 37 psi and she feels the ride is smoother than with the factory 20” rims.

That looks sweet! First time we've seen a TRD Sport with TRD Pro wheels I think. Do you have any more photos from various other angles (including ones that show how much tire poke)? Would love to see more.

Looks sweet! Looks a lot like mine.

Curious how much difference you notice with the 1" leveling kit? I'm thinking of raising mine, just wondering if you really notice a difference with the 1" kit?

I'd also be curious how those Nitto's are treating you after a few trips in the rain.
I'm on KO3s which are E load and @ 33psi the ride is still a little rougher than I would prefer. The only "SL" load tires in 275/70/18 that I could find were the Nittos. Not a fan of Nitto due to a horrible set of Terra Grappler 2s on my '21 TRD Pro. That said, my tire guy loves these G3s. I have about 45 days left to decide if I want to swap to the Nittos.. Not sure yet.

Congrats again!

Absolutely!

These are the Tacoma TRD Pro rims, which I was told by the dealership have a different offset (+20 mm) vs the otherwise identical 4Runner TRD Pro rims that have a bit less poke (+45 mm). I can see how 15 mm (0.6”) less poke would fill the wheel wells more cleanly, but I actually like the extra tread showing outside of the wheel flares.

I’m curious, has anyone else heard that the 4Runner and Tacoma TRD Pro wheels are different? The mods corrected my original post because I had stated that these were Tacoma wheels (which they said were identical so no need to say Taco). Perhaps that’s correct, and the parts guy had it wrong. In any case I’m really pleased with how they look on my TRD Sport Premium.

Your post is actually what drove me towards the Nitto G3 tires. I also got mine at Discount Tire so I have at least 30 days to see how I like them. It hasn’t rained here yet, but as soon as it does I’ll let you know how they handle wet conditions. Fwiw, Toyo makes their OPEN COUNTRY A/T III EV tire in an SL load rating in this size - 275/70/R18, so that’s maybe another option if you’re still skittish on the Nittos.

I’ve only got ~100 miles on the Nitto G3s but so far I really like them.

As for the 1” leveling lift, I think it makes a huge difference in appearance. Having equal spacing above the front and back wheels gives it a much more aggressive look, but from the driver’s seat I don’t think it’s very noticeable.

I am curious about how the same ReadyLift part number (66-54150) is listed as a 1.5” lift when installed on a Tacoma but only listed as giving 1” of bump to to the 4Runner. The part itself looked closer to 1” thick…

Anyway, I’m super pleased with how it turned out. Totally changed the look in my opinion!

Now I’ve just gotta remove that hideous air dam and get her in for an alignment to fix that toe-in.

Looks awesome! We did the same, but ended up getting some BFG‘s.

I’m planning same tire and wheel set-up. I have sr5 though. I like the stock height, would that rub?

Nice set-up!
I have a question, did the ReadyLift 1" Leveling Kit give you a perfect level from front to rear measuring from center hub to bottom of fender flare or does it still have some rake to it. The reason I'm asking is I jacked up mine in the front and it seems that 2" gives you exact level. I have both the ReadyLift kit and the Rough Country Kit that you can either go 1.5" or 2" if you use the additional shim and ready to install one of them, so your input would be greatly appreciated.

Level is 2in in the front.

Looks nice!
Would you say the 1" ReadyLift gave you a level look or does it still have some rake? If possible, can you measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender flare on both front and rear and provide me with the measurements as I'm going to install the same level kit, and I just would like to make sure this is the right one, thank you.
