91 runner going to buy 33"X10.5 will they fit?

I have a 91 runner with 31X10.5X15and stock lift. I want to purchase 33X10.5X15 BFG all terrains . got a price from mytiremonkey.com for $675 for all 4 delivered. I have read that these will fit with no rubbing. Truck is street driven V6 automatic 4WD. Question is will they fit with out rubbing, how bad are they going to affect gas milage and has anybody found these cheaper. I understand that BFG is the only one that makes this size. Not so worried about performance mostly looks.

I'm running 33x10.5 bfg all terrain on my 92 pickup and it doesn't rub only when wheeling on complete steering lock but a little pounding on the pinch weld will fiX ur problems

Not to mention I do have a baby 2 inch lift.

BFG is not the only one that makes a 33x10.50. Toyo, and Superswamper also make a 33x10.50.

They will fit, but you need to do minor to no trimming. I have 33x10.50 KM2s and they only rubbed on the plastic fender lining, pulled it off, problem solved

10.5 wide will work, if it does rub just trim or a small body lift would help. also yes it will also effect your gas mileage but if your not worried about it the BFG a/t are a good tire!

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I was thinking of doing a quickie baby lift by tightening up on the torsion bars and adding some schackle out back. Any thoughts, suggestions on schackle length and where to get them/ Any help would be appreciated.

not even necessary. just put the tires on, trim the plastic, and go.

They will fit, but:

A) You have an automatic. It will be even slower and more gutless than it is now.

B) There are no "shackles" on the back of a '91 4Runner. You have coil springs. A good solution would be to replace your rear springs with Old Man Emu medium rate coils and Nitrocharger shocks.

Thanks for all your help. Installed the 33's stock lift and all is well. No rubbing, truck looks awsome./ All I need to do now is change my CV boots but that's another thread.
