i have 255/85/16 now on a 16x7 soft 8 wheel with about 3" of lift and no rub. i was going to buy the Maxxis Bighorn in a 285/75/16 new for $650 but found these tires for $200. just worried about that much tire on a 7" wheel.

255/85/16 = 33 x 10.5

315/75/16 = 34.5 x 12

what do you guys think of this tire on my 4runner? i have read that others have run this size with no problems on 7" rims.

bring on the thoughts and comments.....im going to pick them up tonight..

here is a pic of how the 4runner sits now with the 255/85/16...

time for a body lift and gears.

 

for a daily driver it should not be that bad. just no wheeling till after gears and and 1" body lift.

ill make it my mall crawler for now...

 

what springs do you have for you "3in lift".

i always heard that 8" was the narrowest wheel for a 12 inch tire. and thats a 34.5x12.50. lot bigger than a 33x10.00.

im sure if they dont fit that you could re-sell them for what you have in them though.

your 4Runner looks great btw. what kind of lift are you running?

 

im just running a spacer lift for now....i know, i know.

the lift is a front top out of the coil pack 1 5/8 " spacer and the rear is a 3" poly spacer. this gave me at least 3" all around...clears the 255/85 with no problems at all...no trimming.

i have the 882 coils, waiting to put on when i get the 1" BL. just hope these will fit untill then.

 

i have been reading about your try at this size tire before your spring lift. how was it with just the spacer lift?

 

i would suggest the 883's. i have them and they ride great and give just enough lift that i ran the 35's with body lift. on the street they didn't rub at all but offroad the would barley kiss the pinchweld.

and i would get the longer land cruiser coils for the rear if you get the 883's and if you stick with the 882's i would suggest the shorter land cruiser coils.

here is a picture of mine with the 883's and the toytec top out spacer with the longer land cruiser coils in the rear and 315's...

 

i did have a spring lift with spacers for a while... i had (and still have) the 883's with toytec's topplate spacer in the front and i had the 890's with a 1.5in coil spacer in the rear. i hated the spacer in the rear and needed more lift so i ditched that set up and got the longer lc coils at a junk yard for $50, and i love my set up now.

what size are your rims?

 

they are 16x8. but blake (he got banned for here) ran the same set up as me with his stock rims and 35's and had no issues... they are 1in skinner than my rims were i think...

bobby

 

i hoping to pick up the tires tonight and will have them put on tomorrow.

thanks, bobby for the info. what gears are you running?

your truck looks great by the way!

 

thanks graves, the chart is great to size tires. if i dont like them you will be first in line to buy....

 

thanks man i have put a lot of work into it. lol but i am running stock 4.3's with a 5spd. put as of this weekend i will have 4.88's if you have a auto with stock gears you will get about 12mpg or so... i would look into regearing. keep your eyes pealed for someone selling whole diffs after a sas or something that is the easiest and cheapest way...

bobby

 

if i had a lift already them we could work something out. i have to make a few calls to sonran steel and other lift places first.

 

im sure they are 4.3's...still have not checked the codes on the door. i will be sure and keep my eyes open for 4.8's

 

the door code wont tell you the truth a lot of the time... but its a start.

 

i just got back from picking up the tires. they look great!!! i measured them and off the rim they are 33.5" with 50-60% tread. the fronts have a little cupping but will put those in the rear. we will see how they fit in the am.

 

had to trim just a little off the front valance and the pinch weld. i will have to have the my 882,s with the top out spacer installed to do any kind of wheeling...for the street it is now what we call a pavement pounder....
