91 4RUNNER WITH 35'S (Family Rig)

I have a 91 4runner bone stock right now, did some searching but didn't find what I was looking for....will 33/35's fit without any lift? I have put a rear coil lift 1-2" from northwest offroad on it. I have an 85 truck with 37's MTR on it, was thinking of swapping everything over to the 4runner but I'd have to do a SAS to fit the 37's, so that's out for now. Need a family rig.......thanks for any help. :pat:

I've got a 4" superlift, 1.5" rear shackles and torsion bars cranked a little. I was able to cram 35"s with trimming the valance, aftermarket wheels, and 2" wheel spacers (they could still work without the spacers but I'm not sure). It only rubs on tight turns and when the suspension compresses some. I've heard 33's with this lift don't have any problem.

If you do a 4" suspension lift you can put 35's on it with some trimming and on a 15x8 wheel if you add a mild 1-2" body-lift most likely you won't have to trim and you can run 15x10 wheels it all depends what backspacing you are gonna run.
If you want 35's though I would regear it first then lift it. Stock gearing is gonna suck up gas for a daily commuter.
I am running 33's with minimal lift 1.4" BL torsion crank and FJ80 coils. I am running 4.56 stock gearing it's not too bad but I did a 2.5 catback exhaust and a air intake so it's not too terrible.
I would suggest a 5.29 ratio for your vehicle but I am not sure what transmission you have or what gearing you currently have installed.

I have a 91 4runner with 7"s of lift and 35s.

I had the 35s when I had my 4" susp lift and only saw slight rubbing when wheeling but only because I had my bushwackers on. If you go with a 4" susp. lift and 1" body lift you will easily clear 35s. It really comes down to what wheel backspacing you have and how aggressive of a 35 you go with. good luck.

My cousin was running 35's on his with a 3" body lift and the Bushwacker cut out fender flares on the stock suspension.

Here's a link to 33's with minimal lift: Click it
I know I've seen an article about fitting 35's with no lift, but I can't find it right now.

The 33" easiest tires to run with little to no lift would be 33"x10.5" the skinnier tire has less rubbing issues when turning.
I run 34"x10.5" TSLs with a 2" body lift and 1.5" rear springs and minor fender pounding. With a little more trimming and some 1.5" ball joint spacers (front) and coil spacers (rear) 35's should slip right in.

Oh yeah, my runner is a '91 also

Doesnt the average SAS on a 2nd gen run $3K? A ProComp Stage II lift at 4WP is running $799.99, a Roger Brown 1" body lift runs around $100, and 4WP has a wheel tire combo going with the 35" ProComp Xterrain tires & Stone series wheel by WeldRacing for $1,688.99. So compare a $3,000 SAS swap to the listeed priced around $2,588.98. IMO you would save more.

I have a 90 with 4" suspension and 3" body lift. 37s fit fine. 35s can't rub in any situation. By the way, the best tire deals you'll find anywhere is America's tire. Period. (Why pay more for Pro Comps than BFG or Goodyears? Cooper makes a good tire but come ON!)
