    It'll fit but it has more back spacing so it might look funny

    awesome. good to know. You think the backspacing difference would cause any rubbing issues?

    Anyone know if the rear wiper on a 2013 runner has an adjustment as to how far it goes before stoping and wiping the other way? My wife keeps complaining that she can't see out the rear window after using the wiper. I don't think this can be changed or adjusted as this wiper hides up and out of the way after its done. Any ideas??

    Yeah, you should be fine with just the spacers on the front. I ran 285's with FJ wheels (somewhat similar spacing) and only needed the front spacers.

    Is that per month? Remember he is getting rent, food and probably insurance paid by his landlords though....

    Ok guys, I need some advice. As you know I was planning on dropping my 4runner back to stock and getting a 1st gen. Well financial and spousal situations have stopped the buying of a first gen till August at the earliest. We agreed to talk about it again when school is done for my Fiance and I received my bonus from work. So that leaves me at the least 6-8 months till I can have a dedicated wheeler and who knows how long it will take to get a 1st gen to wheeling status. That being said, I'm in a quandry. Right now I still have my lift and a set of 32" Duratracs with some wear problems that cause noise and some vibrations. They will not be my DD tire since it's been driving me crazy. I since got a set of 245/75 Dunlops on taco wheels that are going to go on my fiances jeep, but are currently on mine for the time being. I also have a set of Tundra rims and a set of Tundra 16" steelies.

    Option #1
    Rock the 245's for a while with the lift and get a cheap set of wheeling tires or keep the 32" Duratracs for just wheeling (rather not since a 33 would be better suited as a wheeling only tire). I was thinking a MT since I won't DD a tire and they will only go on for wheeling trips. Maybe a 295 or 285. If I went this route, I'd try to get 16's to go on the steelies since they were cheap and are best for wheeling. This option would net me the most MPG and save me from using up expensive tires driving to work everyday. It would also be the least aesthetically pleasing and use tread on my Fiances jeeps tires.

    Option #2
    Sell the Duratracs and steelies and DD 33's again, but I'd have to get used. I can't afford new tires, especially 33's. The tires would have to be AT's since I drive too much for MT's. This option allows me the option to wheel and aesthetically the best. It does require less MPG, more wear and tear/power loss and using up tread on driving to work. Also, if I bring my 4runner to stock later I'd have to get tires again...

    Option #3
    Sell the Duratracs and steelies and DD/wheel 32's. I'd be able to retain wheeling options (might have to skip some trails because of the 32's though) and good power/mpg range for DD. I would waste tread DDing it, but I wouldn't have to deal with switching tires or storing a second set. Also I could still keep them for when I bring it back to stock height. On the other hand, most 32's are E rated, a little out of my price range and I'd rather not have a LT for a DD when it's stock.

    Option #4
    Keep the 245's, steelies and Tundra's and sell the Duratracs, but run the 245's and buy a welder. This will allow no wheeling for a bit, but I'd be able to afford a welder and could start practicing/building. I'd probably build a bumper, skids and some other odd ball stuff just to practice and eventually sell for a profit. It would be fun, but Hollister and NorCal wheeling trips would be out unless I found some REALLY cheap wheeling tires.



    Sorry for the long rant, but I've been racking my brain for a while now and can't decide.

    Option 3. Swapping tires out every time you want to go wheeling sucks. Not really a big difference in 32's vs 33's so if you are looking for a all around DD/occasional wheeler, that's the route I would go.

    But I would also not recommend listening to anything I say on this subject since I currently DD my rig with 35's. Whatever. Logic went out the window a long time ago with my Runner

    Open diff, dual case, 4Runner. Haha. If that isn't logical, I don't want to be logical.



    I'm daily driving 33.5" Mud terrains with no issues at all. Actually my only problem is they have too much traction. I was making a U-turn the other day on my way to school. I ended up having to make a semi quick U-turn in order to not cut someone off, so 75% through the turn I gunned it in 1st gear. The driver's front tire came completely off the ground and I 3 wheeled it around the rest of the turn. It wasn't until I shifted to 2nd that I had all 4 wheels on the ground.
