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

Why does every one want to move up from a 31 to a 33. Does that 2in make a whole lot of difference?

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.

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?

I have ran 12.50's on stock rims for years.. I actually prefer this set up to a 10" wide wheel. tire wear is not exaggerated and the possibility of breaking a bead when aired down is reduced considerably.. plus I think 12.5" wide tires on a 10" wide rim looks funny..

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.

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.

The 33's will be fine.

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
