I am wondering, how many of you are running 32X11.5 R15 tires on 2nd generation, 1989-95 4Runners WITH NO LIFT, front or rear?

I used to run 32's on my 1st generation 1988 4Runner with no lift, and no rubbing. Thinking about doing the same on my 1990 before I get it lifted. I would like to know if there are any issues with it.

If yes, please post:

1) Year and vehicle
2) Tire/size/brand
3) Rim size, if known
4) Problems, if any
5) Recommendations


.. and anything else your heart desires.. or pics of your 32's on your unlifted 2nd gen!

Thanks everyone.

 

31s are guaranteed not to rub

32s may rub, depending on tire size/rim

i knew of a guy who ran 32" bridgestone on dueler at/s with stock rims no rubbing, mainly because they are actually a little smaller, according to the guy that sold him the tires.

big 32 inch mudders would prbably rub, like BFG mud-terrain or goodyear mt/rs

if you do the downey 1.5 HD coils in the rear, you can shove 32s in there and maybe a little cranking of the t-bars in the front, but probably dont need to do that, as the front is naturally higher

 

32" pirelli scorpions
stock everything, at the time. (now I have downey coils in the rear)

No rubbing.

 

Thanks guys! Although I find it hard to believe that just one person had 32s on a stock 4Runner... did anyone else ever try it?

 

My 265's are 32 tall but only 10.5 wide. I have the Downey coils and 14.75" on the torsion bars. Fits great. Absolutely no rubbing.

 

I put 32's (all-terrains) on my 1990 4Runner with out a lift and they work great. No rubbing. Most tire places will not put them on if they think its going to rub.

 

What brand? What kind of rims? Thanks..

 

1) 1992 4runner
2) Wild Country APT/32x11.5
3) 15"
4) no rubbing of any sort, bone stock 4runner
5) excellent snow and wet tires, I live in the sierra nevada mountains and never had a problem with losing traction or hydroplaning. never.

 

Mine is basically stock. But, I do have the Downey coils in the back.

1) 1995 4runner
2) Goodyear MT/R's 32x11.50
3) 15"
4) No rubbing. No problems.
5) Love those tires! Wearing like Iron and riding like an AT. Highly recommend them.

 

I had a 95 with BFGs A/Ts 32x11.5 and it never rubbed.

 

1990 4Runner
32 x 11.50 BFG A/T's on factory 15 x 6" rims.
I've had this combo for about 5 years and no rubbing. It's real close on a full lock though.

 

Yo-

Just a thought, but you might consider 33x10.50's instead of 32x11.50's since you get an extra inch height and lose the width which can make you rub. Granted, I have a 2 inch lift in the back, cranked torsion bars, and a custom 1" body lift, but they probably would have cleared with a little rubbing stock. You have to trim/remove your plastic valence up front though...

For a quick fix, you can buy yourself a body lift real cheap (like $2 per block, times eight (or it might be six). So then all you have to get is some longer bolts and you're an inch higher just like that! Takes only a little effort and has great pay out.

Of course, my lift has only cost me about $250 total, so maybe you should save a little and go for the gusto! (But, the tires cost somewhere closer to $750 so... you're talking around a grand for lift and tires)

Just a thought...

I'm bone stock with BFG A/T 32x11.50. No rubbing but only 3K on driven on them.

 

?? My 265's are 30.7in tall. Please explain. You runnin swampers or something?

 

Yep, mine are on some no-name brand 32's stock. I had no rubbing with the stock steel rims, the alloys I have now are off an FJ40 and do rub at full lock, but the back spacing is about 1 1/2 out more than before.

Here it is with stock rims


And here is with the new FJ40 wheels


BTW, where in Mass are you??

 

I sent you a couple of PM's.. checks your private messages

 

Well atleast for BFG All-Terrains:

LT265/75 = 31.8
LT265/70 = 30.7

 

I have 32x11.5 Pro-Comp A/T's on my 93 4runner with plenty of sag in the rear. Front seems to be the only problem. At full steer my tires hit my swaybar sometimes. But no rubbing in the rear even with an inch or more of sag. Oh yeah, the tires are on the stock rims.

 

Im in the same boat...looking to get 32s.... how do they effect the speed and handling of your 2nd gen runners?

 

Not too bad if you have a 5 speed. The auto is a dog to begin with so you'll really feel it. I'm planning to go to 33's pretty soon. I'm sure I'll have to regear then
