35" tire help
« on: Oct 08, 2011, 09:05:52 PM »
Anybody ever mount 35-12.50-15 tires on the stock oldschool 4runner aluminum wheels? Does the wheel have enough offset? Thanks for any help

You had to do all that because of no lift or because of the offset?

You will need to do fender trimming for sure. and maybe add wheel spacers on front.

Thanks everybody for responses not quite ready for tires yet but offroad expo was this weekend and 4wheel parts was having a sale buy 3 tires get 4th free!!! Got excited for some 35" km2's but was quickly let down when I went and found out the sale was only for pro comp tires which I heard ate junk! Thanks though at least now I know they will fit kinda

They work OK on those wheels.  I've seen it done a few times.

I believe the stock wheels are 15x7. Manufactures who make 35x12.5 tires like BFG, Goodyear, etc recommend a 15x10 for that size tire for proper wear. I have ran 35x12.5 km2s on a 15x8 and had to daily them at 25psi so i didn't wear the centers out faster than the shoulders. They still handled and felt great on the road. A 15x7 can be done, the air pressure would just have to be run lower.

don't need to cut fenders to clear 35s even with just a 3" lift
