I have a near new set of BF 265/70/R17 all terrain KO's on my 2008 petrol 120 Prado manual. Given thier cost (inc spare) I am asking to swap them onto the a new Prado auto 2.8D GXL I am buying..Let me know of any experiences or issues with this Especially drastic fuel economy, performance or rubbing issues.

I know the spare may be tight on the spare wheel cover but was going to try and fit by fitting one of the 10,000km worn BF,s and dropping the spare tyre pressure to 20 to 25 psi???

Also I am aware I may have to use a spacer on the spare to get the tyre away from the body. I brought a 120 series spacer from Andrew (amts) in 2013 for my 120 will this suit the 150 series??

Iam gonna assume you meant 265 not 165. It will fit without lift. No rub on the guard at any circumstance. This was for 3L 2015 but Im sure there werent be difference to 2.8L

I recently fitted 265/70 r17 KO2 to my 2.8l. I do have a 30mm old man emu lift though. No issues. I wasn't able to get the spare cover to fit over one though.

Lol yes just realised my mistake thanks people. Yes my tyres are 265/70/R17.. Interesting the Tyre guy at the Perth dealer recons he will get spare tyre in the cover. I will let you know how I go in a couple of weeks..
