So this isn't really your average can i fit this tire thread. i'm no newbie when it comes to lifts/tires etc. i'm about to order wheels and tires for my newly aquired 4runner and i want to put either 33x10.5 or the 35x10.5 boggers on there with little to no lift. i will probably solid axle the truck later on but for now i want to see how fun it'll be low to the ground.

so i took some measurements today and some things don't add up. i see people talking about rubbing with 32's or so but it seems like mine would clear the 33's and possibly the 35's fine. im fine with adding bj spacers or something like that for now and the rear needs a couple inches of lift so it should be fine clearing either.

does everyone else have this much clearance with the stockish 27.5in. tall tires?



it is almost 35in. to the middle of the front fenders.


from just doing some measuring, the 33, if a true 33 should be 2.75in. larger all around. the 35 would be 3.75 and pushing it but am i just not seeing what the problem would be with the 33's? they would be about an inch wider than the current tires.


and here's a picture showing the angle of the lca and uca, doesn't look altered to me.

i fit 33x12.50s on my stock truck, except for the rear air bag lift i did to get rid of sag. Theres minor rubbing when the wheel is fully cranked

So what measurements did you get when you turned your wheel?

Sawzall and BFH.

That does look like a lot of clearance. I would not be surprised if your torsion bars are tightened all the way (would lift it 1.5" or so).

You can check the factory clearance values. Its in the FSM. I do not recall off the top of my head the correct value, but you measure to the middle of the lower control arm adjusting bolt and compare that measurement to the middle of the axle (from the ground for both).

thank, i think the skinnier boggers would be even easier to fit than the 12.50's.
thanks for that. i looked at the lift and tire thread in this section but didn't think to check the tire section.
i didn't bother to look. i'll do that later. i'm definitely ok with cutting some while still making it look right. the pinch welds will have to be beat down.

DillonC

Well I got my tires today. I'm glad I went with the 33s I think it would have been hard to fit the 35s. I ordered some Mickey Thompson classic black wheels but they won't be here until the 22nd.

Gotta love the skinny boggers

Cant wait to see if you can get them to fit. I had BALD 33s fit and they barely rubbed. But if i flexed at all they would rub im sure.

DillonC

From what I've read the ifs trucks can fit a slightly bigger tire in the front than the solid axle without a lift. I went ahead and orders ball joint spacers and a little longer shackle for the back just in case. I'll be able to make them work.

Please post back when they are on. I am planing on going to 33's also. Please let me know how big of a power hit you take. Are you an auto or manual trans?

DillonC

Will do, it won't be until the 22nd when I get my wheels but I'll put them on then. It's a manual tranny, if I can make these boggers fit then any other mud terrain should fit.

Crank the torsion bars a bit.
Remove the front mud flaps.
Trim the inner fender (plastic).
Bash in the inner pinch seam.

I'm currently running 33x12.5R15 on 10" wide rims with 3.75" backspacing.
So my setup is much wider. It only required light beating of the pinch weld.

With 33x10.5, you shouldn't have a problem fitting them.

DillonC

Yeah I've got the tires in and it looks like I'll have no problem fitting them.

Those are gnarly tires. Lets see what she looks like with them on :O

DillonC

haha yeah they don't get much more aggressive. i'll be sure to post plenty of pics when i get them on. the black mickey thompson classic wheels won't come in until the 22nd.
