Smile Biggest tire i can use?

I have a pretty much completly stock toyota and want to make it look WAY cooler. I bought a 3 inch body lift and was wondering what the biggest tires would be that i could put on my truck w/out any rubbing or problems. I have 31x10.5 and i want to go bigger. If anyone has a 94 toyota with just a 3 inch body lift i would appreciate it if you could post a picture of it. THANK YOU!

33x12.50 will probably fit. You still might have a bit of rubbing when your are fully turned.

33x10.50 will fit without a problem.

You're probably going to want to regear the differentials if you get larger tires.......

But I guess that wouldn't be cool enough since you can't see it....

Might I suggest performance over appearance? Its better to be reserved in appearance and outperform your buddies then to say "yeah, I got a 5 inch body lift, and 42 inch boggers on my stock 22re and stock gearing." I'm guessing you have a 3vze, though. Am I right?

haha easy man. i want it to perform well also. I just am not the wealthiest 18 year old in the world. and i got a 3 inch body lift for my b day. I mainly want to know if 33x12.5 inch tires would fit without having to get it regeared and without a lot of rubbing.

I'm not the wealthiest 18 yr old either Im almost 19 though..soo... Yes, 33x12.5 will fit. They may rub on the Upper Control Arm if you dont have the right back spacing on the rims, I think..... You can run 33x12.5 without regearing, but I hear it sucks. I only have 31x10.5s. If you live in a hilly area, then I, and many others, will suggest to regear. Just don't expect to go very fast

33x10.5s will fit at stock height with a little pounding/grinding of the pinch welds.

Save the money you would use to get larger tires and get a rear locker. If you're getting new, or nearly new tires, expect to pay like 500-800 on 33x12.5s. you can get an Aussie rear locker for like $250 I think, then spend the rest on having the rear locker installed ( I think its safe to assume you don't know how to set up a locker. I dont ) save the 3" bl for later when you get some 33x12.5s

if your wantin to look kool and do a little bit of muddin on the weekends..i would suggest getting a set of super swampers...SSR's, TSL radials, since its seems like u'll do more showing off than anything...but if you want to get nasty with it...go with some 31x12.50 boggers..lol..but seriously...31" mud terrains will get you more places than what you expect..

i go places in my 31" swampers that a Ford (4 in lift, 33x12.50 buckshots) wouldnt even dream of going (but now he has swamper SSR's..lol..hes got me beat)

so i say just spend the money on a set of swampers..

so I figured out DC new game -well he finds the weak young yotertecher and acts like a newb tring to get them to post his favorite video of all time . He doesn't want to do it himself because it could make him look weak. but once they do that he gets all warm an fuzzy inside cause he saw his most favorite vidoe ever.
