93 t100 2wd
Whats a nice tire to go on one of these? It has stock 215/75/15s, and they look way to small. I want something that looks beefier, but isnt too thick since I wont have a lift or anything on it. 235/75/15s? Would those look a significant amount different?

Breaking Prevention
I just put a 5 inch lift on my 92 Ifs 22re pickup, and put 36"X13.00 R16 super swamper TSL's on it, there not rubbing height or width wise but im goin alot slower and i was wondering if thats to big of a tire for my stock gears and stock suspension? like am i guna bust a CV joint or a U joint or am i guna blow my axles or what? and if something is guna break with that biga tire what should i do to prevent it?
Thanks
Thanks

Don't need much
I have a 99 sr5 with Toyo AT 265/75 R16's and no lift. I have not had any rubs or scuffs at all. I have not disconnected my sway bars and tried it but I really like my set-up because I am not changing any factory angles, keeping my center of gravity as low as possible, and its cheap. I wheeled all weekend with a bunch of Rubicons and could go anywhere they went. The only weakness I have right now is my approach angle sucks going into vertical surfaces but a lift isn't going to help that. PS I would buy the Toyo AT's agian- they haven't worn well.
I'm settling on 265/75s as opposed to the awesome 255/85s. I don't want to have to regear and trim pinch welds, fenders, bumpers, etc.
So, my question to you guys is.....
What do you think will look the best? The 1.5" or the 2.5"? If I did the 2.5" would I need to drop the differential? Also, if I got the 2.5" with 265/75s....will I wish that I had got the 255/85s?
Let me know what you think and post pics if you get 'em.
Thanks folks!!!!
p.s It's a '99 4x4 Limited.

1" extra drivetrain clearance can make the diffrence if you get high centered or not or smack a differential into rocks etc. when off-roading every inch counts. Especially when airing down tires. In this case load rating of 33" vs 31" might come into play as well but I personally haven't research the difference in ratings between the two.

I could fit 33's stock and withe the LC coils I'm stuffing 35's once I get the BJ spacers she'll be sitting much nicer.
Clocklaw, she's a looking purdy!!! Doesn't look like your sagging much maybe just a wee bit, how's the ride?

well from what ive learned guys putting 12.50 and even 11.50 on stock rims is really a no no it can make premature tire wear and some tire manufacters wont warrenty the tire 10.50 is as big as you should go on a 7 inch rim 11.50 calls for 7.5 to 9 and 12.50 calls foe a 8.5 to 10.50 it can be done and put on those rims but you should check into getting wider rims later on

Lumpy, the ride so far is much better than the 235's. I am wanting some rancho 5000 shocks for it...as for the sag, that picture shows some sag but there were 4 tires in it at the time so a little extra weight back there.

Will I notice a huge difference in the snow between a 31x10.5 and a 32x11.5?
im thinking of moving up a bit but idk..
i also found a guy selling a set of almost new 31' bfg mud terrains for 500 obo.. was thinking of possibly just lowballing him.. though i dont really need a mud tire...

Okay guys I have read just about every post on this thread and I still can't find what I am looking for. Everyone seems to have later model 4runners and I know the suspension systems are different...I have a 2002 4runner SR5 with stock 15" rims and a stock lift. Right now I am running 31 X 10.5 R15's with no fitment issues whatsoever, but I want to go bigger. I am looking at getting a Revtek 3" suspension lift. Does anyone know the biggest tires I can run with and without the lift?
From what I have read it seems like 33X10.5 R15 might fit without a lift, is this true?
Would I be able to go up to 35X10.5 R15's with a lift or are 33's the biggest I can go?
Will 33X12.5's fit with the lift?
Thanks in advance for your help and I promise I read just about everything in this thread and still didn't find the answers I am looking for so I apologize if this is a repeat question.

As for the 35's, they'll probably fit, though its tough to tell. Keep in mind that the only thing you will find in a 35x10.5 is a bias ply tire, something from Interco likely, so be prepared for the characteristics of that tire: flat spots in the cold, road noise, etc...

Okay well I think the 35's are definitely out, I want to stick to something like the T/A KO's or the Wrangler DuraTrac.
Any ideas on the 33X10.5R15's fitting without a lift?
Any ideas on the 33X12.5R15's fitting with a lift?
*Keep in mind I would like to keep my stock 15" rims

When I got my 91 4wd pickup dlx, it came with 4runner 3 spoke alloys 16 inch rims wrapped with brandy new Toyo Open Country M/T 265/75 r16's.
My spare is a 15" steel rim and a much smaller tire, and the tire is no longer useable, even as a spare, its thrashed.
Ideally, I'd like to find a 265/75 r15 Toyo Open Country M/T used that I could just throw on there. The only local tire shop that carries Toyo locally is Les Schwab. I'll call tomorrow to see if that 15" size even exists and how much it is new. I'm guessing way more than I want to pay.
I'm not sure it make any sense at all to buy a fifth 16" alloy just to stuff it in my spare holder...but I'm sure I can find one on Craigslist or at Nix99 etc.
Unless one of you NW guys happens to have an extra
I guess I'll know better tomorrow when I call Les...any feedback is surely appreciated.
