Wasn't sure if the pics would work but looks like they came through. This truck has no lift except for 1.5 lift shackles on the old springs. OME lift going on soon along with BJ spacers.
Wheels are 4in BS and the tire wheel combo don't look odd with the cut out flares. I was really worried on this.
Marlin Crawler rear bumper and an ARB waiting too. Still waiting for 4.88's and a Detroit Truetrac for the rear end. My trucks are daily drivers with the only off roading really is when I'm hunting critters. Love this site and learned a lot here. Thanks Ryan

Looks good! What backspacing are the wheels? Be sure to update us after your lift is installed.

The one thing that worries me about 33x10.5s is that if you ever do blow a tire, then a replacement is like a month away.

What width are the rims?

Any rubbing issues with the suspension compressed and the wheels turned?

Though, they look bloody fantastic. WAY better than 33x12.5r15s or anything that wide. You'll find the traction is way better as well.

To be completely honest I think you should have either gone with a wider stance (12.5" wide or more backspacing wheels) to fill the fender flares or just have ran stock fenders. With 10.5" wide tires and wheels with 3/4" more backspacing the tires couldn't have stuck out more then an inch past the stock fenders.

Either way, congrats on the new tires. I'm jealous, I should be getting my 33s within the month.

12.5's dont look good? doubt that...
BTW thanks for posting pics dude, i'm gonna grab those same tires for my winter treads... looks good... tho i was also looking at 33x9.5's, the 10.5's might be better...
You should also see better gas mileage now if it's a 5spd.

thats a super clean 4runner! those tires look great. How is it running with the stock gears? I really want 33s, but my truck struggles enough with 31s...and I don't have the money to regear.

Looks fantastic! Personally, I would probibly chuck the flares, they are a little too big for 10.50's... but thats my opinion.

Nice looking 1st gen

I love how the 10.5s work on my rig. They're a great option for fitting 33s without a lift. I've got no body lift and 100% stock suspension. They're fantastic. Make wheelin' a hell of a lot easier too.

Thank you for this post. I 've been reading about 33's, and this helped. I just ordered a set of 33x10.5x15's for my 86. Hope they look as good on mine as they do yours!
