fitting 32s or 33s

hey, i have a 1997 toyota tacoma 4x4 single cab and im going to put some Bilstein 5100 Series Leveling Strut / Shock (Adjustable 0" to 2.5" FRONT Lift) with my stock coil springs. but in the back i need to replace my leaf springs because there froning at me. should i put lift leaf springs or just get new stock leaf spring and blocks or AAL. i would like to put abou a 1in or 2in of lift in the back to level out with the front bilstain 5100s. but will i be able to fit 32s or 33s with no triming. if i get the 32s they will be 11.50 wide and if i get 33s they will be 12.50 wide. do i need to move up to a 8in wide rim i have the stock 7in rims now. THANKS, Zack

 

I can't speak for for the 33's, but you should be fine with 32/11.5's... I've got a 3" RevTek lift on my 96 and I just put BFG 32/11.5/15 A/Ts on my truck in January.
The tread nearly touches my mudflaps when turned to full lock, but it's not enough for me to take the flaps off.

Here's a pic of them mocked up in my garage, sadly I don't have any pics since they've been mounted.

 

^looks good, thats the size im gonna go with next, what size tires are actually on the truck in that pic?

 

I got 33/12.5 on 1 inch lift

 

God dam your truck makes me wish I had gotten bigger tires. Those 33s look soooo sexy. and my Puny 31s look sad...

 

I ran with 32x11.50's on the stock 7" alloys with only 2" lift (96 tacoma). You'll need to run with lower air pressure in the tires to ensure you'll get 'even' tire wear. If you run too high air pressure, you'll wear the center of the tires out.

Ultimately, you should have an 8" wide rim for an 11.50 or higher width wheel.

 

31/10.5/15 BFG A/Ts were on the truck in the pic.
I'll try to take some pics this week (probably weekend) of the current setup.
...basically looks like Conekillers

I love your truck man, you're my inspiration

 

i have bilsteins set at 2.5. and i run 33x12.50s and am having to do alot of cutting to prevent rubbing and may have to cut more to go off road

 

where did you get 32x11.50 bfgs i tried looking for them every where but they are discontinued i wish i could have gotten some. but ended up getting 33ich duratracs

 

are you rubbing alot with only a 1ich lift. i have 33x12.50 on a 15x10 wheel

 

I didn't know they existed until November of last year, to be honest.
The kid I bought some parts from had them on his truck.

I got them locally. A small tire shop with good prices & good service - he's ALWAYS busy.

He tracked one down that was in town, the other 3 he told me were delivered from Denver. That's all I know.

$175/ea mounted & balanced

 

33s with anything less than 3 inch lift will rub on compression or turning without some modifications or specific bs wheels. 32s will probably fit safely. I plan on running 33s on the street and 31's offroad for maximum tire stuffing travel.

 

run 33x10.5's with a 4 inch bs and you will be set. thats what im gettin next

 

U cut fenders huh to fit the 33's? i want 33's.... but my 32's rub when i flex all the way out already??????

 

this is with 32x11.50 with billies at 2.5



and this is with 33s

 

thats a good deal. i wish i had gotten 32s i like the looks of 33s but i had to trim alot to get them to fit and idk how much they will rub when i offroad

 

Thanks dude

I was being sarcastic, I have 4 inch procomp coilovers on the front set to about 2.5 , It rarely rubs.

Nope, Just have a little spacer( not even 1 inch) to clear my upper ball joint spacer.




BTW, If you guys want any more pictures from different angles just tell me.

 

conekiller. what kind of spacer are you talking about not hitting your upper ball joint? do you rub at all with u 33s.

 

I have the spacer on the left, I dont rub... just a lilttle,

 

Hey i have a 1995 montero with the same black wheels as your picture there the are 15x8 and i NEED one more for the spare, what model numer are they so i can try to find another one, or do you have one by chance??

thanks
