Which would be easier to deal with 305/70's or 315/75's on a 16x8- 4" bs wheel both tires are baja claws, my setup - 2002 toyota 4-runn with 3"sus and a 2"body lifts. Thanks

i cleared both with 4.75 in backspacing and 1.25in wheel spacers on 4in of susp. lift. and now 315's with same susp. lift and 2in body lift. here are some comparison pics. the bfg a/t's are 305's and the xtreeme a/t's are 315's and i'll point out the bodylift ones.








with the body lift




hope this helps

You will need less backspacing,trimming and cleared arms for 315's lots of people run em search how

you are gonna want some gears to go with those 35's also.

I've got 285's now and am wanting a little more width, not height. So, when it's time for tires again, I'll be going with 305's. 315's seem like a lot of trouble to fit. Then, you have to trim, buy different wheels and regear. For what...1" in lift? Doesn't seem worth it to me.

i didn't have to trim anything for my 35's... and they dont rub at all. and i still have stock gears and get 16 city and 18 highway with plenty of power.

If you stuff wheels and turn full-lock while 4wheeling you will rub with 315’s. Again, you will rub w/o modification; if this weren’t the case everyone would be trying to shove 37’s under their 3rd gen. I still get a bit of rubbing. Most of those that run a 35 after running 33’s will attest that the added size is worth it in terms of lessened obstacle resistance, traction and added clearance. Re-gearing IS important as stated above.

even if im not going to be offroading until i do a 2wd/ 4wd swapp in the future?

TacoTime

going to get messy prolly, I'm running a true 33X12.5 on my 3inch sus. and 2 inch bod. would want anything bigger

edit, just read that you have 2wd. your crazy maen, get some 120 spoke and cruzzz it

4Runner202020

i can not get my fronts to rub but the rear rubs on the gas tank cover in the rear driver side wheel well... i'll flex it out tomorrow and try and get some pictures...

For those with stock fenders rubbing will happen. Front wheel wells will contact while turning and stuffing. Esp. with a bouncing articulation in this movement. If you don't rub then you are a lucky man.

I missed that the OP was 2wd. I'd save for 4wd before anything: Different vehicle over conversion.

4Runner202020

ya i guess my fiberglass is helping...

Don't waste your time trying to convert a 2wd into a 4x4...just trade your rig off for a four wheel drive and be done with it. Then, you can mod the thing up however you'd like.

Unless your 2wd has a locker, it would be useless off road. And even with a locker, it couldn't go where a 4wd could go. With that said, I think you'd find 315's a lot more trouble than they're worth. Stick with 285's or 305's.

jruss1986

I'm going with the 305's,they should fit with my setup and a little trimming with 4-4.5 backspacing right? The swapp im going to get is off a toyota 4wd 4-runn same year model that has been rolled, from a salvage yard every thing is ok on the underbody. But thats down the road.

emptypockets

Definitely go with 4" backspaced wheels if you can. With my OME 882's up front, I still had to do very minor trimming with 285's. They should fit fairly well. Good luck with the swap too and post up how things go.

jruss1986

Thank you guy's for the help next time you see a pic of my ride it will be on 305's mickey tompson baja claws, and i will post some pics.

Buy some MT mtz's better tire tread and they are not a directional.
