what is the tallest tires I can put on my 84 and 89 without rubbing




Ken

 

I rub under mild compression at full lock with 30x9.50x15 MTR's. My '84 has a 1" BL.

 

how much lift ya got

but seriously, on the 89 31x10.50 no problems at all assuming its 4 wheel drive. not sure on the '84...

 

38's fit under my '85 with no rubbing

Although yes, they are bald and I have only started to groove the rears...that probably makes the difference.

 

i had a 82 that fit 31s fit....my cuz had 31s on a 84 with no prob and then put 33s on and took a bat in beat in the corners for clearance

 

Nice doors.

 

33x10.50 on stock BS wheels... The width is more of an issue due to scrub radius.

 

I have 265/75/16's on my '84 Runner. Those come out to a 32 X 11. They are the same size I run on my '04 d-Cab Taco.
My springs are saggy so there is NO way I could put 33" on there. But even if I did, I think I would want to go with tall and skinny. I know a few manufacturer's (such as Interco and BFG) make tall skinny tires. Like a 33X10.50, This will go a long way to alleviate rubbing. I know interco makes a 34 X 9.00 in a 16" size...you would have to lift to get a 34" in there, but tall and skinny is good.

 

They're custom.

 

thx all

no lift I have 31 x10.5 running on the 84

nolift and 30 x9.5 I think on the 89

those are tiny. i'd say on the 89 you could easily fit 33/10.5. and on the 84 i'd say the same but taking into consideration that it's 10 years older than mine and i thought i had sag......i'd say probably 32's

 

Would that have anything to do with the 3" of sheet metal trimmed from each fender?.....

 

you cant get 33/10.50 i dont think????? i thought it was 31/10.50 & 33/12.50 but that might just be on certin tires idk tho

 

you can get 33x10.5, and 33x9.5

 

my cousin had 33 10.5 swampers

 

4" at the rear, 2" in front, they would fit without rubbing without it, but I can't guarantee on flex.

 

Yep, 33x9.50 (AT only now) and 33x10.50 (AT and MT) are available:

I really like the 33x10.50s mounted on factory 6" wide rims.

 

I prefer 6" in front and none in the rear

 

33x10.5's are pretty much the largest you'll want to go with no lift. considering i hate body lifts, i'm sticking with the 33x10.5's. once they're mounted and balanced, i'll decide what type of trimming (if any) i'll need to do. i'd rather trim my fenders and make it look good than bodylift.

i run 31x10.5's now, and they're fine. (mounted on AR wheels that came with the truck) no rubbing ever.
