I second that i would just save a lil longer to get the extra hundred that way your tires dont look like balloons. But if you like that look go for it man its your truck don't matter if anyone else likes it as long as you do

My new DD

I bought this on friday, 1988 4 Runner 22re 5 spd. Swapped out the wheels/tires 31x10.5 SXT MT's with my 71 FJ40...now the FJ40 can get new bigger tires . The fist pic is when I brought it home with the old wheel/tire combo on it. It has 153k original miles, very clean inside, not a rip in the headliners a small crack on pass side dash. A cheap "Macho" paint job some PO did supposedly for faded paint...he didn't paint the top of the cab, it works

good luck.

Yeah bud, thats how it works. Tire width should always be wider than your rim, if not then the bead wont set or if it does it will look ballooned out...fat in the middle (wheel) and narrow at each end...like so () if its too wide of a tire for the wheel (rim) then it would do the opposite...)(. I don't know the ratio of tire to wheel but there is a range you have to stay in for it to work. Maybe you did a typo and meant wider....and no, it wasnt me who said I was putting on 13.5 tires on 14's...I like tall skinnies like 33x9.5's Cheers

I understand that. In fact, I know this very well. Actually, you posted about putting a 13.5 inch tire on a 14 inch wide rim. So...........
