Post up pics of your wheels on your toyota. Please include brand and dimensions, just wanted to get a feel for what size I want to run.

This may not help you out much, but I'm using 15" wheels wrapped with 31x10.5 tires on my restoration with a 3" lift:




Same truck (with the old ˟˟˟˟ty bed) before restoration with my old 15" wheels wrapped in the same tires and 3" lift:

There is a sticky at the top of this folder with pics of tons of trucks.
You should see a combo there you like..

Thank you, I'm just deciding whether or not to run 15x12's or 15x14's

You could ask specifically for those sized wheel pictures and likely get more answers.

Besides, why run 15x14? Unless you're running a stupid tall tire?

Why in the world would you run anything wider than a 10" wheel? I just threw away a set of 15x14's, god they were ugly and heavy!

Are you planning in running 44 or something?

Notice where hes from. Its all the rage in HI. Put the widest rim you can on your truck then stretch a narrower tire onto it.

Doubt you'll find many pics especially on your generation of truck. Fortunately that fad stayed on the islands, except for on cars of course.

Yeah you pretty much got it, however Im just looking for a rim and tire combo that will fill up my fender well and at most stick out about a inch or two

Than you want a 15 x 10 at most.

You know that you can order wheels with whatever offset you want at no extra cost... For instance, you coud say run a 12.5 wide tire on a 10 wide wheel, then have the offset at 2.5 inches. Now you would have that look you want without it looking stupid like it would with a 12 or 14" wheel. Just a thought..

I second that ^^ I would forego the ridiculously wider wheels and either go with a wheel with lower backspacing or use wheel spacers for a wider stance.

For instance, here are my wheel specs:
*15"x8"
*6 x 139.7 (5.5) lug pattern
*-27 Offset
*3.43" Backspacing
*108mm Center Bore

My tires (31x10.5) are slightly wider than the fenders currently. Now say I wanted to get a 2" wider stance, I could get the same width wheel with about 2.5" of backspacing. That would move the mounting surface of the wheel inward away from the outer lip of the wheel thus increasing the depth of the dish and widening the stance. For a these trucks, the maximum backspacing is roughly around 3.75" to clear all the components on the axles. So if you know about how wide you want to go, you can use the stock wheel size of 15x7 with 3.75" of backspacing and go from there. If you want the stance to be 2" wider on each side you can get a 15x8 wheel with 2.75" of backspacing (you get an extra inch wider on the with of the wheel and an extra inch on the decrease in backspacing).

Here's some more examples for you (width over stock wheel stance):
15x7, 2.75" BS = 1" wider per side
15x8, 2.75" BS = 2" wider per side
15x9, 2.75" BS = 3" wider per side
15x10, 2.75" BS = 4" wider per side

Obviously,your tires will stick out wider than your wheels. The stock tire width is about 8.8" wide so if so you get 31x10.5 tires you're looking at an increase of tire with of 1.7" which will yield about 0.85" in increased width on each side. So say you mount a 31x10.5 tire on a 15x9 2.75" BS wheel then you're side walls would end up sticking out an additional 3.85" over factory.

I hope that helps and makes sense to you. Personally, I would avoid stretching tires - it just looks silly to me and there are better ways to achieve the desired width then slapping a narrow tire on a ridiculously wide wheel. Also, unless you plan on regearing, these little 22R engines don't turn tires bigger than 31x10.5 very well. If you go with something like a 33x12.5 without regearing you can pretty much kiss your 5th gear goodbye.

I run ifs hubs with 15x8 wagon wheels, they stick out 1.5'' on each side, which is the width the ifs hubs add.

Plan to service your wheel bearings often in the front if you run really wide.

Boyds, 15x7. Using stock size tires. Got them used for 50 a wheel, not too bad.

Just out of curiousity, How do you SAS a truck that is already has a solid axle??

jimbyjimb

iTrader: (1)

Maybe by swapping in a different solid axle or a rebuilt unit? Just guessing that SAS means 'Solid Axle Swap.'

No problem! I like your taste! Are those the Ion Style 171 wheels??
