1st post. here i go.

i drive a 92 Toyota Pickup extended cab 22RE 4x4. here's a picture... http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/403392/3 . i was wondering what is the biggest size tire i can fit on it. i've heard that 31x10.x15 is the biggest without rubbing, but i wasn't exactly sure. what about 32x11.50x15?? will they fit without rubbing? i think i'll go with the All Terrain KO. but i'm not sure. my wheels are 15x7. i have 235/75/15 goodyear trackers with 15% tread left. i've gotten stuck in the mud a few times.

so far, just by searching on this site, i've found out how to fix my loose shifter and a few other things, like the airbox mod....in which i re-installed my intake silencer because i didn't like the sound, and i didn't notice any hp gains.

please help me and make me feel welcome.

 

i believe 31X10.50 are your best bet without any rubbin

 

Welcome to yotatech!!! As for tire size, you can run any size you want, with no lift. As long as your are ready to trim & cut & grind.

That's a good looking truck, looks like it gets used. Not sure how long you've had it it, but I had my 90 4runner for 4 years, with the 22re and liked it so much I shopped for 6 months to find a 4wd with the 2.7l. That's a good motor you have there.

 

lets say i wanted to fit some 32x11.50x15's, what all would i have to trim??


thanks for the responses.

 

..and can they fit on 15x7 wheels?

 

i have 31/10.5/15 and i luv them and no i don't think you can put 11.5s on 15x7

 

ya you can.

its just bad to do so cause you cant run low pressure with the,

i had the setup you are talking about with 32X11.5's on my 94 standard cab, they rubbed alot till i bent the pinchweld and took the inner plastic fender's completely out.

after that they rubbed at full stuff and turn.

i would say stick with the 31X10.5's

especially for offroad, the 32's didnt make a big differnce compared to my 31's

you can fit 32 on there without a lift. buddy at work has 32's with no lift and we play daily at work and he does fine, no rubbing at all.

 

my brother on his 94 runner has 32's, BFG's... with the downey rear springs and no rubbing. Of course the downeys add about 2.5". Looks killer with the wider tires!!

To each his own I guess.

 

You CAN mount the 11.5 x 32's on the stock alloys (15x7). I ran two sets through their full life (about 45K per set - 90K miles total) There is absolutely no problem running these. Just keep it aligned and run the proper inflation and rotate regularly. You *might* need to do an add-a-leaf or longer shackles out back - I have a Runner not a truck. I have the Performance Products rear springs on my 4Runner that bring the rear up level (about 1-1.5" from the normal sagging 4Runner rear)

 

cebby, do you have pictures of that? i'm curious on how they will look.

i'm still not sure on what to get for my truck. i'll be doing highway driving home from school ( 3 hour drive) probably twice a month. will the Mud-Terrain T/A KM's be too agressive/noisy for daily driving???

anybody with a truck my body style fit 32's with stock suspension?

 

also, would the truck be really slow with 32's?

 

Depends on your gearing. I had an auto with 4.88's. Now I have 33's and 5.29's - it can get out of it's own way.

If it came with the 22RE, & 225's, you probably have 4.10's. It will be a dog. Find some used 4.56 or 4.88 3rds and swap them in to make it tolerable.

 

Here's an old pic with 32's.



Here's what it looks like now.

 

i think yours sits higher than mine, i think 32"s will be too big for me.

 

I had a '93 SR5 extra cab 4x4. It came stock with 31x10.50R 15's on the stock 15x7 alloys. I mounted a set of BFG all-terrain 32x11.50R 15's on those stock wheels without any rubbing problems, but that wheel was a little narrow for that tire.

So I bought a set of American Racing Gambler wheels in the 15x8 size, and specifically made for Toyota trucks. It looked better, the tires wore better, and no problems with contact anywhere.I don't know if that wheel is still made though.

Wheel offset is critical when running that size of tire, particularly if you don't want any contact, and have a completely stock suspension.

 

The flares are deceiving. My front was at stock height with the 32's on. Yous would be the same. From your pics, I think you need to lift the rear very slightly to clear. Like I mentioned above, either an AAL or shackle.

 

Just reading through this thread as I have a similar setup.
I have a 92 PU 4WD regular cab 22RE. I currently have BFG 265 70 16's Rugged Trails. They are almost toast. It looks like I have a lot of extra room. I think I can get away with a larger tire, but don't know how large. I have seen other trucks with way less room around the tires than mine.

So I'm curious if there's a lift on my truck. I don't actually know how to tell and it's fairly new to me. It has been upgraded to 16 inch rims, does that make a difference in the first 2 numbers for max tire size?

 

I turned the wheel as hard as I can and checked for the nearest part that would rub and can't really tell because I have a solid 2 inches before anything would touch...

So there must be a lift on my truck. How do you tell?

 

The last two numbers in that tire code tells you what size rim. The first five tell you the overall dimensions of the tire.

As far as lift: The easiest way to answer this question would be for you to take pictures of your front and rear suspension, including the ball joints, and the rear leaf packs and shackles. That would help with determining if you have a suspension lift. If you have risers or "pucks" between your frame and body, then you have a body lift.
