I'm fixing to drop $1,500 on tires and wheels can i fit 33"/12.50R18 on a 02 4-runner with a 3" front coil lift and 2" rear OME coils, and 1" body i have 285's now but will these fit, i want bigger tires, the wheels are 18x9's with 4" of backspaceing.

the height is going to be very comparable. I am assuming you have 285/75/16s? if so, you are going to be a little wider with a 12.5 inch tire but you should be alright with 4" of BS especially on 18x9s

jruss1986

yes they are 285/75/R16 nitto terra grapp so toyo mt's 33/12.50's/18x9 wheels 4" bs will work with my lift status.

Mr. Sonora

32 x 12.5 inch BFGs on a Tacoma with a 3" suspension lift in the front and 0" in the back. Not sure if that helps, but 4runners and Tacomas are pretty much the same height and sounds like you are putting and extra inch, but that you have an extra inch. FWIW, on my ride, the 33s would have rubbed.

Cheers,

Mr. Sonora

i think you might get some rubbing issues in the front either on the bumper or pinch weld area. nothing a little cutting/pounding cant fix though

Im running 33x12.5s with i think 4.25" back spacing and I trimed the pinch weld just to be safe. I have around 3.5" lift and have never had any rubbing

jruss1986

so would 305/70/16x8 4" bs mickey thomson baja claws work with my setup?

berzerkrobot

only one way to know for sure

jruss1986

did you have any rubbing on the upper a-arm?

Bump for a reply.

You'll definitely need a little spacer to clearance your upper a arm.
Here's mine with a 3" OME lift. I was rubbing really bad till I trimmed the plastic inside of the fenderwells. 305/70 r16 mickey thompson baja mtz

Looks great what size spacer did you add, because i was going to buy new wheels with 4" backspacing but maybe not since u used stock wheels. Do you have any more pic's of your ride i would really like to see them especially of the front fender behind the tire for clearence.

Isn't a 12.5" the same as a 315 size tire?

I would think 12.5's would be rough without at least trimming/pounding the pinch welds.

305's will fit with minimal rubbing, that's what I run.

I think most 3rd gens run 285's.

jruss1986

Do you have a 3rd gen? if so what kind of lift?

2" spacers was just what I had at the time. If I could start over I'd do a .75" spacer or something that small. Umm don;t have any close up pics but just grind that pinch weld and backout your driveway and make a turn and stop your vehicle to see where it is rubbing and trim away. It's mainly that front fender inner plastic part. Here's so pics of my rig on another build. Scroll down.

is that 3" lift the one from toytec for 4-runners, b/c thats what i have, also by trimming plastic on the inside of the fenderwells do you also mean the bottom of the fender flares too. Also does it rubb on your frame.

yarosig

Yes a little bit on the flare. No frame rubbing but the tires wouldn't even fit without hitting my upper a arm without my spacers

jruss1986

So aftermarket wheels with 4" backspace should work right?

bump ... I am interested to see how this setup came out.
