31's or 32's on 4banger

Lookin to get new tires soon. i wanna get 32's but dont want to regear. ive got the 2.7l 4banger with 163000 miles. no engine mods. think i could get away with just new headers and an intake rather than a regear?

 

dont do it. ur wasting ur money. tires will be too heavy. -imho.
unless u wanna blow something up - motor, trans, diff?

 

shit. lol 31's look too small in the wheel wells for my liking. especially with 880 coils up front

 

run the 32.5x10.5 on some good rims. headers + CAI+muffler you should be fine. you might lag but fuck it

 

Go 32s. I had 32s and it was no problem at all. Now i have a 295/70/17 on my 4 banger. Thats a 33.5 by 12. And i have no engine mods and stock gears.

 

ya. im lookin at the bfg mt km2's or the at's. right now ive got 31x10.5 pro comp at's on 15x8 wheelers steel wheels.

 

i mean i wouldnt mind a 31 bfg km2 but would like to go 32's if possible

 

I have 31's on my 2.4l 5 Lug. I am regeared now but ran 30's for a long time before regearing.

Mind you im also a small 4cyl 5 lug that came stock with like P195's

 

if i get any it should be too much. maybe a pinch weld mod and thats all. cus im runnin a 4 inch backspacing on 15x8 with a 1.75 inch lift up front

 

I have 33's with 5100s and the 2.7 all i have is an intake header and thats it and my truck does fine i have had no problems with it all Just saying....i would do it

 

I'm running the 265/75r16's (equal to 31.6" I think) and I'm doing just fine with the 4-banger and no mods. Personally I went with the Hankook Dynapro ATM's in P rated cause they were only 6 lbs heavier than the stock Dunlops in the smaller size. I had the BFG AT's on my '99 and while they were a great tire, I wanted something lighter this time (save some power and gas). Very happy with the Dynapros and have taken them offroad three or four times.

 

Do It! I ran 33 on both an 84 than my 88 which both had the 4cly 22re eng. Had a 2 inch lift inte 84 and 4 inch lift in the 88. Never had any problems although you will lag in power and in the fuel consumption area's. Just get in the slow lane and gear down, let em pass!

 

ive been lookin around and i can get a 33x10.5 km2 for cheaper than a 32x11.5. think i could get away with that and some mild trimming?

 

also the 33's are lighter than the 32's by two lbs/tire

 

ive got 35s and havent regeared yet and nothings broke in the 9 years ive had the truck but gears will be coming soon

 

With 33x10.5 and the steelies you won't need to do any trimming, you should be fine!

 

saves me some work then lol

 

Where in NorCal are you?

 

im originally from concord. right now i live in rohnert park cus i go to school at sonoma state

 

Oh nice, I'm in Petaluma. I put 33x10.5s on my girlfriends truck yesterday if you want to check it out sometime.
