Biggest tires with b/j spacers?

What are the bigggest tires people are running with just b/j spacers and l/c coils. I have a 1990 4runner with 529's and 36 in superswampers.

Huh? You're already running 36's and you want to know what will fit with only BJ spacers? It sure as hell ain't 36's...

You must have a bracket lift now, are you taking it off?

Anyways, with BJ spacers and SLIGHT tbar crank (so it still rides/flexes OK) you could do 33x12.50. One guy ran 35x10.50 with NO lift, so that would probably fit too.

i run 33x12.5's with zero rub issues at all with no lift and plenty of room and flex all around for now, your truck looks really nasty, what exactly is all done to it

run4her, your truck looks nice!! I am looking for tires now too. I just got some 15x8s and my truck is stock. I was gona do 31x10.50s again, but now I'm thinking of going bigger. I was looking at 32x11s or I saw some nice TSL tires in a 31x11.50. My truck is stock so I was concerned I'd mess up my newly repaired fenders. Looks like it will be ok, even with flex.

Your truck does look great but you must get some rub at lock to lock,
I am surprised that you don't have something similar to what happened to the wheel well on my '81 with 4" of lift..Damage was from the PO, but he said it happened at full left turn when the wheel was stuffed.
Looks like you only have about 2" of clearance with only a slight turn to the left.

What's the backspacing on the rims? How much tbar crank? What did you do in the rear to get rid of the sag and match the front?

Ever take it offroad? Rub when it flexes?

I ran 34x9.50 TSL's (measure the same as a 35 MTR) and they rubbed SIGNIFICANTLY so I'm finding "they don't rub at all" hard to believe.

No rubbing? Did you trim the fenders? If not, I find this curious.

I had 33x12.50's. I had bj spacers, and non relaxed tbars. Wheeling it rubbed all day long. It was retarded.

Please post a picture of the front of your truck down near the ground so we can see the front suspension.

I agree; looking at his truck in the pics, looks more like 4-5 inches of lift. No way in hell does a 2" lift enable you to run 36's without trimming all the way to hood.
