What wheel and tire combo?

I want to get new wheels and tires for my SAS'd 86 4runner. The reason is that I think my tires are too small and I want to widen the stance of my runner since it is so tall.

Here is a pic with 15x10 wheels with about 4" of backspacing, and 35x12.50 KM2's


I would like to see what you guys are all running.

I want to run a 37" tire. I'm just wondering what you all think would be best a 37x12.50 or a 37x14.50 tire, and a 15x10 or a 15x12 rim. what wheel and tire combination would you prefer?

Hypothetically speaking, if I was you.. I'd run a 16x8 37x12.50 with a wheel that's got 2" backspacing. Might wreak havoc on your wheel bearings though.
Or you could consider wider axles.

I run 35x12.50x15 on 15x8 rims to help keep the beads on better. A wider rim might pop a bead. 2 inch wheel spacers on front.





Also had the rear fenderwells cut and the edges rolled to keep the tires off the rear portion of the opening and cutting a tire.
