ive searched and searched and havent found much on tire size info for my 1stgen runner. basically im looking at 33X10.50r15 and 32x11.50r15 km2 bfg mud terrains (maybe all terrains since i do a bit of hwy driving). i dont have a lift but i might put one on in the future. i also have the factory alloys. my questions are
will they rub at stock height?
will i need to regear?(not sure what mine is, is there a way to check?)
would it really be awful with 33s? for some crazy reason the 33s are 15 bucks cheaper than the 32s(maybe because of width?)
i have a 89 4runner 3vze 5spd sr5. thanks!

read and learn.




33x10.50s will not rub with light pounding of the pinch weld.


32x11.50s shouldn't rub much if at all...


i'd stick with 31's until you are dead set on what you want to do.

I wouldn't buy tires until you know what lift you want. It would suck to buy 31's and put a 4" lift on and be stuck with a good set of 31's. People would point and laugh at you.

If it were me, I'd roll with the 33's and trim what I had to. Later on if you do get a lift it won't look so funny with the 33's.

i will get a lift for sure sometime i am just not sure when exactly. how much pounding do i have to do? 1/2 inch?

I don't think it would take much. My 31's clear no problem with no lift. I had to clip the corner of the inner fender off because it slightly rubbed at full lock(probably could have just screwed it tight instead). It would take about 15 seconds worth of hammering to fit 33's I'm guessing.

I like this link better.

Does it say how long those km2s should last?
