17" Weddsport tc105n, TRD Forged, or stock

I just saw someone had 245/40/17 on some 7.5s that looked heavily autoxd in the classifieds. It's 0.5" under width on specs... rounding error or real concern?

For autox people will sometimes try to stuff the most tire possible on a wheel. I know someone who ran 245s on 7" wheels. I'd recommend sticking to 225s, or 235s at the largest, especially if you'll be daily driving.

lol, if you feel comfortable driving with those on the street go for it!

But yea go for 225/45/17 it'll be a nice fit for those wheels. Running 245/40/17 on those wheels is too much tire and not worth it

You've already got way more tire than you need for the street, but if you can get 2 degrees of negative camber with the bolts, that'd suffice for cone dodging and still keep nice street manners. Shoot for zero on your front toe, and maybe a fuzz of toe in at the rear for straight line stability on the highway, and it'll really wake the car up.

I did some more research on the oem 'crash' bolts including reading the service manual and watching an install video to get a good feel for what's going on. I am now totally comfortable giving this a shot as it seems the worst thing that can happen is you get 2mm of play in the suspension should they come loose. If the service manual says to use them for camber adjustment, I doubt toyota would suggest this if that is likely to happen. I was thinking it was a length of the bolt issue, but it's a width of the bolt and by having a thinner bolt it allows you to wiggle the suspension a bit before tightening up and that allows a bit of camber.
