Clearance with ball joint spacer lift
Wondering what kind of clearance to expect with 33x10.5-15 or 33x10-16 running ball joint spacers and lite crank on torsion bar. I was thinking it might fit 33.5" or 34" but that's just thinking. I'm not going to be flexing it out to the max, I just plan to use it hunting and mainly my DD

You can fit 33x10.50 on stock suspension with minimal rub
|
The wheel i want to run is a 16x8 with 4.5" backspacing im not so sure how thats goig to fit i may need to run some 1/4" or 3/8" spacers. The tire im also considering is a 285/75R16 (33x11.5R16). I wasnt really impressed with the 255/85R16 (33x10R16), the tread was too narrow for me.

These are the wheels that i went with. Just need to decide between 2 tires now. http://http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Series-7031-16x8-with-6-on-5-5-Bolt-Pattern-Flat-Black.aspx?t_c=11&t_s=535&t_pt=101508&t_pn=PXA7031-6883&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign =shopping&emlprox=out&ppcfon=1&gp=1&gclid=CMbk-rePrsQCFYQCaQodDkgANg

Nice wheels. You going 255s or 285s for size?
|
Most likely the 285. The wheels came in today and i ordered them wednesday, way ahead of schedule.
|
Sub'd for fitment and pics. I'm wanting to fit a similar-looking wheel, but in an 18x12...
|
Getting 255/85R16's put on the wheels today. I will get pics this weekend when i get back home since im 1000+ miles away at the moment.

nice! i like pizza cutters a lot. if i had the money at the time, i'd be running the same size vs my current 33x12.5/15 Toyo MTs - but I scored mine basically new on CL for a great price. i can already tell yours are visibly narrower and will have less rub issues and likely weigh a lot less too. also i think a 255 is slightly over 33" and a "33" is slightly under 33".

Yea itll be less weight and less resistance to wind so = better mpg. There are advertised as 33.5" and on a couple sites they say the are true to size and are the largest 255 on the market. Im ready to get home to fit them on the truck.
The 12.50 was too wide for my taste and they dont make a 10.50 |

I know it's too late for you, but for anyone else, the 33x10.5 is an option, it's the 2nd size down: http://toyotires.com/tire/pattern/op...s?cat=22#sizes Your combo looks great, hope you like them. |
Yes it is an option for the 15" wheel sizes to clarify. It was not for me because i wanted to run the 16" wheel. These trucks look perfect with a 16" wheel in my opinion..

Still have to install the ball joint spacers and do an alignment.

Spacers installed. Did not relax the torsion bars but cranked the passenger side to level up the truck. Needed 3/4" to level side to side up front. The rear is starting to settle in some so with adding a spare tire and some type of rear bumper i will need to add a shackle to level it back up.
