Got my new Yokohamas 305/70-16 MT+ tyres and American Racing 10x16 rims.
I searched for a while but could not find the correct backspacing for my SAS. But since I'm running spacers anyhow I opted for the 10x16 wheels for the IFS axle. The rims still have a minimum clearance of 1/2" from the tie rod ends. The reason I did this was that I want to mount larger discs and calipers.
I really like the Yokohama's compared to the BF Goodrich and Cooper tyres I had before. The have a lot more grip in rainy conditions. Didn't have time to test them in the mud cause everything is still frozen over here.
Here's what it looks like now:




Never mind the missing rear bumper, I'm working on a new one with spare tyre carrier right now. Hope to finish it this weekend. I'll try to match the design I did on the front one.
Front shot:



I cut my front coil brackets and remove 3/4" of material and added a rubber 1/4" spacer between the coil and the bracket. The above pics are without the 1" lift.


Cleaned, salt and rust removed and I finally put on the rubber flaps. Only had the flaps in my garage for some 3 years so I thought I finally mount them before the rubber is corroded from age.



Sorry if some of the pics are large. I checked twice and they are all the same size

 

Wow, truck looks great. The only thing I would comment on is it looks funny w/o the rear bumper but I also read that you're fabbing one up.

 

nice 4runner

 

you said you put larger brakes on there but in the pics they still look stock to me....whats brakes did you put on?

 

They are not on yet. These are '93 Hilux vented discs with '90 4R calipers.
These discs are 289x20 mm.
I got some large supra MKIV calipers (aluminum) which are for 320x30mm discs.
My local shop has a detailed book on brakes and I found that the yota HZJ80 from '92 -'95 have 311x32 discs. 6 bolt pattern so that should fit.
I'm still looking to find some bigger ones, maybe Tundra, but I cannot find any specs here on those.
The HZJ70 are 322x32mm but those are unfortunately 5 bolt.
If I'm really lucky the HZJ80 calipers are a bolt on swap. I guess I'm gone find out as soon as I score some.

And to top it off I plan on using the IFS hubs so I can remove the steel spacer and use them in the rear. The aluminum spacers in the rear allready have 1 crack.
