Hi all-
I'd like to add a nice set of rims...perhaps some 16x8 Pro Comp 1079's and maybe a 275/70/16 tire to my 2000 4Runner. Will these fit without lifting it up? Will they rub?

I'm just looking for something to give it a wider stance than the stock 16x7's.

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Wow...54 views and not a single response? Nobody can help me w/ this?

 

come on guys, seems like an easy one to provide input on, I dont have an answer though... have you tried searching??? I don't know anything about tires really, my stocks are 265/70/16 dont know how much bigger 275 is for comparison

 

my 96 has 265 75 16 they fit fine. I just got some 285 75 16 pro comps and i'm not gonna try putting them on until i do a spacer lift.

If that helps at all

 

SEARCH & THINK!!!



You are increasing the height of the tire by .6 inches and the width by less than .5 inches, do you really think the tires will rub?

Look at your 4runner, crank the wheel a couple of times and check how much space you have, then compare backspacing etc. and you'll see that you most likely won't rub at all.

Sorry if I am sounding a little offensive, but the only reason people are not responding because we get questions like this everyday by people who like answers handed to them. The board rules clearly state to search before asking because the answers have already been given in other threads.

 

'could be because people are wondering if you had a different question than could have been answered with a .

Using the title of your thread as a argument, I got 25 hits. Looking at the thread titles alone, it looks like 4 or 5 of them would probably answer your question.

Tweaking the argument a bit to become "max, tire, size, lift" got me 15 hits, and a couple of different ones than using the thread title.


Understand that telling someone to isn't about not wanting to help, it's about not cluttering the forum with 27 similar threads - that makes it rough to find an answer when people actually do .

Links to tire size calculators are also all over, and could be found with a .

 

ouch, guess he got'em

 

Props to you

 

Careful Andrew - I was gunning for you too with that last line referencing the tire size calculators.

 

Quick answer to your question : They should fit w/o rubbing.

 

well Mark, I'm taking your gunning as nothing more than an airsoft shooting just air, cuz I wasn't asking : ) .

hmm.. that line is not meant to be (too) negative, kinda comes across harsh

 

or you could use spacers. I'm not too familiar with 275/70-16's though. Get some 265/75/16 Nitto Terragrapplers if you're going for looks. Good looking tire

 

Mark,

Thank you Moved to Newbie section

Hey Mark.... how come your "search" words dont blink???

 

no sweat... I was referring to you saying that you didn't know how much bigger 275/70's are than 265/70's.

This is a great calc for A vs B:
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html. And... you're looking at about a 1/2" difference.


(yer velcome Bob!)

 

! Ya' know... I tried hacking the BLINK tag in there and couldn't get it to stick (it's not part of vBulletin's editor). So I actually created two panels for a huge blinking SEARCH anigif, but I couldn't find my anigif editor to paste them together!

update: Found it! I just had to remember where I put it! Look up and see if that's annoying enough...

 

Thanks for stating the obvious (ie. They SHOULD fit). No kidding. If you looked at the 5" gap in the 4Runner's wheel well, then a 32" Tire SHOULD fit too...but obviously they don't. I'd really rather not drop $1,000 on tires and wheels only to find out that even though they "should fit", they DON'T. Or to discover that I've got to rig up a fix using spacers and a power grinder.

And yes, I tried the search, not only on here, but on the "other" 4Runner forum as well as just a simple google search. Guess what? I found one single post (posted almost a year ago in 2005) where a gentleman named "Kenn" asked the exact same question. Guess what? No one answered his question either. Other than speculation, I got NOTHING DEFINITIVE. Not a single individual said, "I have 16 x 8's with a 4" BS and they fit perfectly without lifting". I got a bunch of speculation, and tons of guys with those wheel specs that HAVE LIFT (which I specifically ruled out in my original post).

But I appreciate the condescending remarks from everyone, and cute little "Blinking Search" icons. If only you guys would've spent an equal amount of time cutting and pasting an exact phrase (that according to you, is so simple to find) that states, "I run a 16x8" wheel w/a 4" BS on my stock suspended 4runner with no issues". Because even after all of the "encouraging posts" that I've read here, I changed the search string/criteria and I STILL CAN'T FIND A SINGLE POST that says without question/doubt and without phrases like "they might" or "they should" fit.

But again, thanks for all the encouragement. I mean, Wow, "search"...why didn't I think of that?

 

ok, no need to get whiney...

i had 275/70-16's on my stock 99 limted and there was zero rubbing.

however, they aren't visibly larger in diameter than a 265/70-16 - but you can see the difference in width. really, they aren't.

now a 265/75-16 is slightly larger diameter and will still fit - and these are "32's" and they'll fit with zero lift and no rubbing.

however, they'd look better if you did a 1" body lift for less than $80 shipped... http://www.wabfab.org


however, if you go and put a wider wheel with less backspacing on there, you will have more of a chance for rubbing. i barely cleared my 265/75-16's on the running boards with the stock 16x7's that have 4.375" of backspacing. to do what you are asking, you'd have an additional 1.375" of width sticking out from where your stock wheels sit. in my opinion, you're asking for rubbing.

 

Mark - <http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalcold.html> is really useful, thanks, now I know

 

You've got some brass ones getting crappy about not being helped by only providing us with this general information.

I guess we should all know what the backspacing is on 16x8 Pro Comp 1079 wheels? I don't, and I'm not looking it up either.

We should also assume that all tires sized at 275/70/16 are identical in size? News flash - they aren't. Pro Comp tires for example are notorious for being undersized.

Maybe if you would have searched and read the results, you'd have understood that both of these factors have an impact. Maybe you didn't find an exact answer to your question, but at least your question would have included all of the information folks would need to help you. You'll get a lot more help with a complete question and less attitude.

Did you look through the members rides section to see if anyone is running the wheels you are considering? Look at members signatures also - you'd be surprised what you can find. I PM folks constantly about stuff in their sigs.
