I am planning on lifting my 4runner in the future. But I live in a condo with underground parking. So I want to get new rims and tires for now. What is the best tire to go with a 16 x8 wheel. Then when I move I plan on doing the lift with larger tires.
Thanks

 

my guess would be 265/75's and would also depend on the brand/model since some seem to run a little wider or taller than the specified size. I heard Goodyear MTR's run a little bigger than the printed size but don't know for sure.

 

yea 265/75/16's would be your best choice. However, since you have a 16x8 wheel instead of the standard 16x7, you might rub on full turns.

 

if you want size..i wouldnt suggest pro comp!. heh, my 33s look small...as stated in my thread dedicated entirely to that .

 

Thanks for the help! I will be pricing them out as soon as I log off!

 

your 33's dont look small my BFG 32's are pretty small

 

Hi,

I'm new to the forums and was just reading through this thread. I was wondering what the biggest size tire I could go with. I have a 1995 Runner SR5 4WD V6, it has the stock wheels on it right now. I am thinking of going with some BFG Mud Terrains but I'm not sure due to the fact that I will MOSTLY be doing on-road driving with the occasional weekend tooling around at one of the local off-road places. Anyway, thanks for your help!

32s will fit with little scrubbing of the fender wells.

 

Has anyone heard anything about the toyo open country at's? They look pretty sweet! Or are bfg's the way to go? To many choices!

 

well, im not too fond of BFG's. they look great, but they last forever. i guess thats not a bad thing

but ive had mine forever, and all i want is for them to hurry and go bald so i can get some bigger ones and ive put at least 24,000 miles on them and they still look brand new!

stupid long lasting reliable tires.

actually, they stick real good too, i never slide around in dirt, rain, snow...

kind of takes the fun out of things.

BFG is a good tire

 

Why does no one go with 275 70 r16 as is on the Land Cruiser stock?

 

those are only 31.2 x 10.8 tires, I think they are wanting 32" tires.

not that much difference I guess. but on a side note, I can't believe toyota doesn put bigger tires on the LC! those things are way to big for the little tires they put on there. Know wut I be sayin'!

 

I would have to agree on the long "lastingness" of the BFG's, my cousin has 33's on his 4x4 P.U. and he has easily put over 30k miles on those things and they look like there are still fresh off the showroom floor. AMAZING tires! I can't wait until I can upgrade to the M/T's!!!

the M/T's are awesome man. I went from 265/75 A/T's to 285/75 M/T's and these things are simply badazz! they clear fast, even the thick texas mud! good choice in my opinion.

 

id like some M/T's but dont they wear out a little faster?

 

I am jealous. Everyones ride look sooo nice. I love the look of my, but I must start to modify soon

 

mine only have about 5k on them so I can't tell at this stage.

 

Definitely true I have 265/70/r16 on my '96 4Rinner and I got them used from my uncle and now they are about 8 years old and have about 40,000 miles on them with around 10,000 to go.... any one know what kinda of shocks I should get because I am looking to raise my 4Runner so that I can fit 33's and I only need about 1.5"-2" of lift, whats the cheapest way to lift.

 

^got any picture of your 265/70/16 setup? I'm about to hit discount tire to purchase some for my new set of wheel.

I got BFG AT 31/10.5/15 right now

 

holy old thread revive!! Good job on the search though I think I noticed 4x4Fink's first ever post up there haha
