I know that 285/75/16 Cooper Discoverer STT's with a 3" OME lift will rub the upper control arm. I now need to pick some new rims with 3.5" - 4" backspacing.

I would think the 12.50's will be a little close. You may have to trim the Upper As or use some spacers.

creighton43 · 01-27-2009, 06:11 PM

so they fit 33x12.50x16 on stock rims if any one needs the info, looks sweet

33x12.50x16 on stock rims with a 3 inch spacer lift! no rub cut 1cm off front fender in wheel well.

footbalfreak · 02-03-2009, 02:45 AM

i have a 81 toyota pu with a regular 6 inch leaf lift. I was woundering how big of tires i can go until i start rubbing my leafs. if anyone has the same thing can you give me an idea on how big i ccan go. i want to get some super swamper bogger. i was hoping to get some 37s on it but i want to be sure that i will be ok with them. any help would be awesome

ocdropzone · 02-03-2009, 03:45 AM

what size gears do you have?
5.29's are recommended for 35's +, if your '81 still has stock 3.90's it is gonna suck.
Also consider upgrading your front axles to a set of longfield axles, stock birfields don't like huge tires, they tend to grenade themselves...
tires rubbing on your leaf springs will also depend on your wheel offset. So if you have something like 2" offset, you will probably be OK with 36's or 37's. but some people rub with 35's...

you might wanna search too, i think this has been asked before...

footbalfreak · 02-03-2009, 05:13 PM

oh i got a pair i told them to try them out and i fit 37 no problem and i pull them like nothing
i have a 350 small block dropped in it

Psalm 112 · 02-04-2009, 10:43 AM

Looks Good!

xzyragon · 02-05-2009, 03:54 PM

what size tire can i fit without rubbing on the stock 94 2wd pickup?

its just for looks, as i dont plan on doing any offroading

scuba · 02-05-2009, 11:44 PM

44 15.5 R26

Elton · 02-05-2009, 11:55 PM

28s ?

Ilovemountains · 02-06-2009, 03:39 PM

I had 225/75-15's on my 1990 twd. They were Yokohama AT's and fit fine with no rubbing at all, you might be able to sqeeze a 235/75/15 on it but Im not sure.... Do you have 14 or 15" wheels...guess I should have asked that first

Robert m · 02-08-2009, 01:42 AM

235/75s will rub a lot on a stock 2wd suspension, mine did. 215 or 225/75 will probably be the max on a 15'' wheel but even then you might have to do some trimming and pound the pinch weld flat.
but if its your daily driver and you dont plan on going off road, and you still have the 14'' factory wheels then i would go with a these. they are 27x8.50x14.

dgl4runner · 02-09-2009, 07:28 AM

Hey guys Im new to yotatech and im sure this is out there somewhere. I just bought a 98 runner sr5 this weekend and want to put some bigger tires on it cuz i hate stock tires. Its all stock. Ive read i can put up to 265/75r15 or 31/10.5/15 on it. Just wanted to see what everyone thought and maybe if you had pics of what that looks like on a stock runner.

I was thinking of getting these.

heres what i got

ozziesironmanoffroad · 02-09-2009, 07:53 AM

uh oh.. this question again. well, we usually yell at new people who ask this, (since it comes up 3 times a day if not more) but in your case, since you have a nice rig, ill let it slide. 33x1050 is about the biggest you can go without a lift of some kind... some pounding to the inner fender welds and stuff will allow you to stuff em.

dgl4runner · 02-09-2009, 08:45 AM

thanks man, i know im a newbie, but u gotta start somewhere ha

874runnersr5 · 02-09-2009, 08:48 AM

32.5x11.5 to, its a good tiresize

X-AWDriver · 02-09-2009, 09:28 AM

The metric size will be 265/75 on the 16" rim which is about a 32" tire.

I'll be going with my 2nd set of Nittos by summer.

dgl4runner · 02-09-2009, 10:32 AM

i really like those.. and i just measured mine are 16in rims i was assuming they were 15 from what a friend told me.

be careful with some 15" wheels might rub the brake calipers. I think your year might be Ok. I currently run a 265 75 16 with no issues. You said youre on a budget so check 265 70 16's on craigslist or ebay. They are usually a little cheaper if you want to save some $

mrguppy · 02-09-2009, 10:24 PM

craigslist is the place to find them. i just picked up a decent set of bfg mud terrains for under 300

beat86 · 02-10-2009, 08:30 PM

K guys ive been lookin through the old threads and i can t seem to find what im lookin for. I just wanna know what a 33x12.5 looks like on a stock rim. also how bad is the rubbage (86 i.f.s. no lift)

If 33x12.50s and 86 IFS were two sticks you would have this

31x10.50x15 is a good tire size for a stocker. I had 285/75/16s and a 2" body lift on an 87 4Runner I picked up and it was major rubbage when off-road.
