Best wheels for clearing 35’s?

Ha. I wish. I still need something I can do 500-1000 mile road trips (camping and off roaring) with.

I kind of want an suv. 4Runner or land cruiser would be nice. I’ve pissed away too much into my Tacoma though. So I don’t know how I’d do it.

 

I'm jelly you can keep adding to the fleet.

Spartanxtaco 2.0 build? SAS on kings and bypasses? That will be making the best if it haha. For real though after going to Moab I'd love to camp out there for a week and have a nice camper to come back to and if I break, I load her up on the trailer and go home

I absolutely love my 4runner and I'll never get rid of it. My high school rig that I've had for a long time now and great memories that I can never get back in.

 

Wasn’t there a YouTube video where he said he spent like $100k total? Lol. Crazy.

Yeah you can’t beat the memories, I always think back to the amount of fun I had in my first car. It was a little POS integra cammed out at 300k miles.. hack job by me but it ran lol. But I had a blast, some of my best memories at 17 involved that car.

Agh, dam builds.. it’s endless. I’ve owned way too many vehicles by now.
I’m ok with tent camping, but I only have Jeep friends and hanging out with solid axle peeps in a taco is rough lol. Really made me want to trade in for a Jeep or build an XJ. I even thought of trading in for a Corolla as a daily and building the crap out of a 4 door XJ.. I think they make perfect rockcrawling/roadtrip/overlanding rigs lol.

 

I swear I’m not tripping. They don’t make a 295/75 in what I’m looking at.

 

Also depends on the specific tire you are looking at. BFG runs very small but other companies are more true to their advertised size.

 

In other words, a BFG 35 is gonna be easier to stuff? So what your saying is I could probably fit a 37?? Yeah I think that’s what I’m hearing.

 

37s or bust

 

But in all seriousness if a bfg 35 runs smaller then it would be easier to fit right? The 295s are dope I just wish they made a 295/75 in Toyo MTs or KM3s. It would be a good compromise.

 

Bfg 315s (35s), cooper 315s next to cooper 37s. With a little more work I'm sure bfg 37s are doable

 

Yeah or 315s. Less to cut

 

It's 285/70/17 and 295/70/17. It's 285/75/16. Try that and you'll see where all not wrong. lol

 

Right on. Cause neither a 315/70/17 or 315/75/16 are a true 35x12.5, so all the more reason to go for it?

 

In all seriousness I love your build, watching you guys wheel the taco like you do. It’s been a huge inspiration to keep the taco.
You, @90yota and @JoeCOVA have been my biggest inspiration and motivation with my taco and where I’d like to see my build go.

 

Right but you need to go to the website of the tire company you are interested in. They have the actual size in the specs. But a 315 is a hair smaller than a true 35

 

Even the manufacturers specs are off compared to actual size. The only true to size 35's that I know of are Pit Bulls. That's why I run them. My Pit Bull Rocker Radials 35x12.5x17 actually measure 35.25" at the shoulder with 32 PSI in them.

 

Yeah ima shoot for something that’s 11.9” wide.. figure it would be easier that 12.5

 

and less rolling resistance=better MPG's for them roadtrips

 

Further fueling my need for 35s haha

So Dick cepek makes the exp tires that are made by cooper I believe and they run at 34.8” 11.9” wide and weigh 63lbs.

Downsides are that they’re like a AT/MT 2ply hybrid but figured I’d give them a shot. I like the weight and width.
