tires on 85 toyota
will 33*12.50*15 fit on my truck. i have a 2 inch body lift on it. or should i go with 31*10.50*15. i dont have enough money right now to put in 488 gears, i was wondering if the 33's would be too much tire for my 22re.
im sorry i meant a 2 inch shackle lift.

33's might be tight with only a 2" body lift. I was able to physically fit 33's on my '85 4Runner with no lift. However, the front wheels would not turn, I could only go straight.

this is what i've found:
84-85 Pickup
33" 3" lift 4.88 gears
34" 5" lift 4.88 or 5.29 gears
35" 5" lift 5.29 gears
36+" Lots
you might be able to with some rubbing, or you can trim some and get them to fit. the 22-re will be fine for in-town driving, highway it struggles with the stock gears, and face it, the toyota trucks werent made to go fast, just to get you there

Hey
I had an 85 strait axle with the 22RE and had 33x12.50 on it.
I started with a 2.5 suspension lift but the tires would rub when turning and when I would go wheeling I kept hitting the top of my inner fender well. I ended up putting on a 3 inch shackle lift and that did da trick. Just remember to re-do the brake lines...... because broken brakes suck.
As for the the gears..... I never re-did my gears but I wish I would have. I just ended up using 3ed gear a lot. I took a while to get up to speed and my top speed was about 75 mph. I ran 33 with out re-doing the gears for about 3 years befor the tranny and gears when out (had about 250,000 miles when they whent).
The only bad thing I ever did was sell the dam thing......
If you have any more Questions... I did a lot of mods to my 85. There is a lot you can do to get some more power out of da 22RE.

Thank you for serving our country... I tried to get into da Marine Flight traing but got DQed for my eye sight.
Good luck on you quest to become a police officer... Washington State Patrol love to hire Marines. (my assistant fire chief was a WSP officer and a Marine).
Hey good luck with the truck... some advice: Don't sell that truck. I'm still trying to buy my old 85 back from the girl my brother sold it to.
