33X10.50 on an 86 4runner

I decided to replace the 32X11.50" BFG AT on 8" rims with some 33X10.50" BFG Muds on 7" rockcrawlers.

Before


After



So far I like them alot better, no rub at all!

After so many posts by TC about the 10.50's I decided that was what I needed. They stuff much better than the 32's.
I wanted some SR5 wheels but I sold mine a couple of years ago. The black steelies are cheap and I don't have to worry if they get beat up.

Thanks , I have BJ spacers in the front with a 4Crawler diff drop, AAl and longer shackles in the rear soon to be replaced by OME springs.

The rims came from Peerless tire, $38.00 each. I still need to get a matching spare.

Those aren't mtrs but they would make it look sweet.

I do still need a locker, saving for an ARB. I also want to remove the BJ spacers and AAL do a 2 inch 4Crawler bodylift instead.

The BJ spacers are a pain, they make it harder to align, My cams are maxed out and I have to have the torsions cranked to get the camber in spec. I need the diff drop to keep the CV angle from being extreme. With the diff drop I also can't use my IFS truss

The tires and wheels were the first step in making the truck more functional and reliable off road. I need some sliders too!
