31's Welcome aboard! Just for future reference and save you headaches from others flaming you. Use the search button for questions like these as it's been covered billions of times. Not being rude or anything just saving your arse.


EDIT: Also dude you need to post in the right section. 3rd gen 4Runners/4th gen Tacoma. Nothing like getting up early in the morning checking the OT and wondering why you are reading the wrong section. Dang I was hoping for an excuse to go back to bed...

what size tire size would look good for this setup?

So I have 2wd 97 4runner which is only street driven but I want to lift it with bigger tires cause I just love these bad boys look. I've decided on doing a daystar 2.5" lift and possibly a 1" BL sometime after. Well its time for me to get new tires(others are worn). I just have 235/75/15 right now. I have a brand new set of rims that are 15x8" that Im going to mount. Would like tire size recommendations for my setup. Don't wanna go too small or too big(don't wanna kill gas mileage). Are 31x10.5 the size too go? Bigger? Any ideas would be great. thanks

For a 15x8, I would do a 33x12.50. It will hurt the gas milage though.

New Firestone Destination A/T's on my 03 T4R. I up-sized to 265/70/17 and they fit like a glove... literally. No rubbing yet, nothing trimmed and the truck is not lifted.
Why does my truck feel a so much bigger and it is only 1/2 inch taller?

I am potentially getting a set of 15" rims (waiting on price from guy who's selling them) to replace the stock 14" ones on my 88 2wd pickup. If I get the 15s I may want to put winter tires on the 14s for easy swapping, so, what's the largest tire size for both sets of rims I can get without having to make any modifications (I think the max width is 8.5, maybe 9)? Also, what gearing would I need for an accurate speedometer and odometer? I just really need some extra ground clearance to keep the rear diff off the rocks sticking up out of the fields around my farm and to keep from bottoming out on the exposed culverts, no serious off-road.

e: God the rims, for free of all things.

Wheel Input Please

Looking at getting the Cragar Soft 8s but wanted your opinions on size. I am putting them on a 92 4Runner, no lift, and running 33X10.5X15 BFG MTs. The 33s rub a little now on the pinch weld with the stock wheels so I am looking for little to no rubbing. I am looking at either 15X7 with 4 in backspace, 15X8 with 4.75 in backspace, or 15X8 with 4 inch backspace. I dont want to do any trimming or anything to clear them so let me know what would work best for my application.

Question please help with tire decision

It has become time for me to replace my tires. Im running 31x10.50 bfg all terrains. I liked the tires alot. Now im wondering if there is a better tire out there that I should go with next. Im open to all suggestions as long as its a 31x10.50. Im not lookin to change sizes. My truck is a daily driver but it is also in the dirt like 1/3 of the time "when I mean dirt I mean dry stuff like sand and gravel (i live in vegas) if that gives you an idea". So let me know what you think is good out there and why it is so good. I have been lookin at the maxxis buckshot mudders but im still deciding and im not too sure. I want to try something different than my bfgs. Please let me know. I dont want to buy something that sucks. Thanks. Oh and post a pic of the tire if you got one. Just so I can see the tread pattern.

265/75-r16's or 235/85-r16 on a stock Runner?

Will 265/75-r16's rub at all on a stock 96 limited Runner? I'm looking to get a bit bigger tire than stock. These will be about an inch bigger.

or is a 235/85-r16 a better choice?

or maybe a 31/10.50???

Any input on any of these sizes?? I'm trying not to kill my gas mileage...

Thanks...

With 3" BL and 4" SUS. Lift you can clear 36x13.50's on some pretty ridiculous backspacing easy.

Nitto Mud Grapplers are affordable. You can go upwards from there in $$ Trxus and Interco some people love em and some hate em. Read ratings on TireRack or Discount or Google.

I don't think you buy a tire like this for extended wear so just keep in mind mileage could be disappointing also.

I'm certainly no expert in mud but you deserved a response certainly.
