Hello people,

I have a stock 1991 4runner 2wd, 4 door.

I was going to sell her off to get the new 2003 4runner but I decided to keep this beautiful suv..
my old stock wheels are looking a bit old..and ugly and I never liked them anyhow.

I want to make my 4runner look more like a 4wd version and a bit meaner. I was thinking of updating the shocks wheels and tires..is it possible to get any lift from just tirs without a lift kit?

right now I have on 235/75R15s on 15X?
I was looking at 16X8 or 16X10 MB motoring rims

my question is, what is the largest tires I can use with these rims without a lift kit and without the tires rubbing? ( right now I have a lot of space and it looks a bit odd with how small the wheels are.

thank you in advance
Todd

 

Nice lookin rims...

what size have you decided on?

See thats the thing..I do not know what will fit in my wells... they have a choice of 16x8 and 16x10 in that style..
but, I do not know the tires I would need to make it work..

( I am new to this..I am an airplane guy)

 

I would get 15x8" Tech1 Rock Crawlers and (if you don't want to lift it) 31x11.50 BF Goodrich A/T KO's...thats an expensive package but it will look AWESOME on your rig!

Thanks for the words 4x4Fink..so you would go with a 15X8?

do you have a good website for those rims?
or some pictures of your ride?

 

This is a pic of my old setup. It's 15x8" American Racing Pythons with 31x11.5" BFGoodrich All-Terrains. Sorry if the pic is a little big...I don't have time to resize

 

With a 15" rim you can get standard tire sizes. I too would go with a 15X8 and 32X11.50 tires. You can get away with this set up with very minor rubbing. If you go any wider your going to need fender flares. I had the package with no flares at all and even just with 31X10.5's and 8" rims my tires stuck out about 3/4" on either side. It really pisses you off when you hit a tiny puddle with your arm out the window and you cover yourself in mudwater!! Bushwhackers are any easy fix for that though

 

So, I can do this with no body lift??

 

Yes, the biggest you can go is 32x11.50's.

I got my Rock Crawlers at www.4wheelparts.com and they run a free shipping deal pretty much every weekend from Friday til Sunday at midnight.

Here is a link to the specific section the website:

The ones I got are the TEC51-5883S3.5, 5th one up from the bottom. These are going to stick out pretty far, I have not installed them yet but with that backspacing...they will be pretty far. I'll get the Bushwackers after I can get enough cash...

They also have package deals on 4wheelparts.com to get both wheels and tires...

Lemme know what you think and if you need anymore help, PM me and I can help you some more.

Later man,

Fink

 

Yup.. you'd be better off with a the Downey Coils and slight Tbar crank though.

 

Or in leui of a t-bar crank, some wheelwell fender seam pounding...

 

Will I loose drivability if I crank down the Tbars? My truck will be on the road as a daily driver for 99.9% of the time..so this is more for looks then function ability. I do not want to loose much of the control...is there a better way? or was I told wrong about it affecting how it handles and drives??

Thanks for oll the help guys

 

or not??
