The 33x0.50 didn't rub with the stock bumper either. I did have to trim it to clear the 34x9.50 TSLs I ran offroad for a while. It was very easy to trim, or you could just remove the lower valance. The point is that they don't get into the firewall, fenders, or frame - all of which would be much more difficult to rectify.

While my 4Runner is indeed not stock regarding lockers, gears, rear suspension and armor - the front suspension, ride height, and fenders most certainly ARE BONE STOCK.

Being that you have obviously never met me or seen my rig, how about you check out the THOUSANDS of pictures in the link below showing you that 33x10.50-15 works on 2nd gen 'runners with no lift.

Strange how at stock height I rub with 31x10.50's and 4" BS on 15x8's. If I put 33x10.50's on I'm sure I'd have to trim a bit more to keep from rubbing off-road. I guess I have the oddball 4Runner with a smaller fenderwell than yours......

It's the wheels. To make this work, you need stock backspacing.

Trustyrusty

Dude can YOU read? Apparently not, because it is the common knowledge on this website, TTORA, ToyotaNation, etc... That you CAN run 33x10.50 Tires, on stock backspaced wheels, on ANY Toyota 4Runner or Truck from 1979-95, Get real, or Get outta here. Don't argue against factual information.

Trustyrusty

You would rub if you went wider, not taller. Think about it, and stock backspacing is 4.75" I run 3.75" Backspacing with 33x12.50's at stock height for a while, and they hardly ever rubbed..

Justinlhc

OMG are you guys breeding in the same house? Seriously, read what I wrote and tell me exactly what you're saying is wrong. WTF is wrong with you guys?

Justinlhc

My point exactly. I never said you couldn't, I said you couldn't without rubbing unless you trimmed/hammered(please read my posts). My god guys, chill out. This is ridiculous.

Saying you can throw a set of 33's on your completely stock 4Runner with no rubbing off-road is false. That's all I'm saying. Stock suspension and trimming? Yes, I NEVER argued that fact. Thanks.

Alright, all 3 of you just take a breather. Don't make me grab the Hammer!

This is the only warning im giving. If it keeps up past here with personal attacks, we're gonna have people joining the band!

You dont HAVE to trim with the 10.5" Wide tires, any wider and you do.. Sheesssssh

Well guys, I fit 35x12.5 tires on my 1990 4Runner. All it needed was for me to bend the pinchweld a little bit in at the firewall. Nothing else rubbed, therefore, I completely believe that 33x10.5's will fit.

Now mileage and power is a different story.

Justinlhc

Anyways....

Justinlhc

For my own personal information, was this off-road or on-road when you weren't rubbing with 35x12.50's on stock suspension? What offset rims?

toylocost

Yeah, what they said... And I would think twice before arguing with someone who has almost eight-thousand posts on this site alone.

toylocost

dammit i hate when i miss the other pages lol

Trustyrusty

Notice that STOCK BACKSPACING WHICH EVERYONE BUT YOU HAS IS 4.75".... I'm done here, I'm talking to a brick wall..

Justinlhc

Yup, higher post count=higher intelligence.




So with stock BS I can clear a 35x12.50 by just bending the pinch weld?

I'm asking because I don't know. You don't have to get all pissy and throw a fit over it. It just seems weird to me that by adding .75" BS I can clear such a big tire with no modifications on a stock 4Runner.

Trustyrusty

NO. You can run 33x10.50, 34x10.50, 32x11.50, and 31x10.50 tires on stock backspacing without touching ANYTHING, with NO rubbing, with different wheels/backspacing, or ANY other size tire it WILL NOT WORK. Also I don't run 35's, I have 33's, and I ran 33x12.50 on 3.75" Backspacing at stock height, with a pinch weld mod for quite a while until I did my lift, with minimal rub off road. Shut up and re-read the whole thread, lemme know when you do, or don't understand, I suggest you re-direct most of your questions to pirate4x4 though, they're more friendly than us.

And as far as your opinion on that, TC has wheeled more places you ever will in your life, and has a damn nice rig, he knows how to wheel, and what works, and what doesn't. I'd take his advice over most peoples, He's got the right idea Lockers+Tall SKINNY Tire+Armor=A well balanced truck with a low COG that can crawl its way through anything.

and it it is not only the fact that he has custom stuff, HE MADE ALL OF THE CUSTOM STUFF. The triangulated 4 link, the rear bumpers at least. the man knows what he is talking about. you are right, posts don't = intelligence, but the words in those 7,xxx posts are what really matter.
