Hey guys, first post, I just bought a 92 Montero 4x4 base model. I will crank the torsion bars up to level it out, and do a 1 inch bodylift on it - what tire can I fit on there with the stock 15 inch wheels? Will I be able to fit a 32 with out rubbing? Thanks!

Hello Robb and welcome to the 'Wire. You should be able to fit a 32x11.50 tire on factory 15x7's without modification. I know many of the folks with mid-90's SR's have run 33x12.50's on a stock (or only slightly cranked) rig. I cranked the torsion bars only an inch or so and I run 33x12.50's. I'm not sure about the rim width or offset on a base 1992, so if they're only 6" wide you may want to consider a tire narrower than 11.50. There are a variety of opinions on the best tire width vs. rim width combination. Personally, I think a 15x7 and 32x11.50 would be fine. My 33's are on 15x8's. I'm sure others will post and give you their opinion.

Thanks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />. The tires stock on here are tiny 235/70/15 = 28inch tire, looking at this truck and doing a few half a$$ measurements, it looks like I would be lucky to fit a 31 inch tire on there. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Here is a pic of the truck in question, I want to use the wheels on it, that I assume are stock ![[Linked Image]](http://www.robbtallen.com/stuff/montero.jpg)

Rob, Here's my '92, with no lift, and stock wheels. You can see that there's all kinds of room left with 31s. I'm buying 33s this time around. ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/stony-man/2006-04-13/1144953025_mvc_371f.jpg)

Stony, are your stock rims 15x6?

That looks great, did you crank the torsion bars in the front?

Man, I'm embarrassed to say that I don't KNOW what width those wheels are. I had long thought they were 7". But I saw an auction on Ebay for a set like mine and they said they were 6". Mine are the same white steelies, I just painted mine black 6 years ago. I'm only going to get 10.5 width tires, so I shouldn't have to worry about it. Very slight crank on the Tbars...less than an inch. I'm going to crank them further after I put on the 33s, and get by like that until I can "schedule" a 2" body lift.

Isn't the correct stock size tire 235 75 15? The 75 would make it a bit larger diameter over the 70 size tire. No?
