tire ? with a lift...

hdoggie24 · 11-05-2009, 09:35 AM

97 4runner 2wd with stock 15's on it. Putting on a 2.5" lift all around and is only driven on the street. no offroading at all. have some new 15x8" rims im gonna want to put on with new tires. would a 33x10.5"15 be a good size? mainly going for cosmetic and a smooth ride onroad. would i have any clearance problems with size. or would i be wiser to go with 31x10.5. the extra 2 inches in height would be sweet to have if it won't affect anything. thanks

i dont this a 33's will fit a 97 with 2.5in lift your prob going to neeed a body lift on top of that i would just run a 31 or a 32

what size is on there now? Take the difference between that and a 33, divide by 2, and see if you have that much space in your well. A 33 is only 1" closer to the fender on each side. If not off roading then it may not matter, it'll only scrub at full turn and that would only be in parking lots

well there you go. that's roughly a 29x9.50, so a 33x10.50 would be 2" taller on each side of the wheel and 1/2" wider on each side of the wheel.

not sure why you would do this on a 2wd? you will only hurt your ride, mpg, odo/ speedo readings, and of course kill acceleration.......

^ i agree. but to each there own

Get 31s, 2.5" on a 2wd is not enough for 33s. Some 4x4runners w/ 2.5" still have problems w/ 33s. Nothing major is going to happen lifting it that much and you don't even have to worry about CV angles like most of us, but you will need to get an alignment after the lift. 33s will suck a lot of power away too, another reason to go with 31s.
