Hey Nolan,
nice truck, but I'm wondering: with your engine (I'm guesing 4cyl), did you have to re gear to allow for 33's or not...if so what gears did you have and what gears did you switch to.
thanks
Rob

I have a 94 4runner with 15x7 rims and 31 x 10.5. I also wanted the look of a bigger tire. So, I went with the 32 x 11.5 tires. They looked good, but I had a lot of balancing problems and lost a little on the gas mileage. When they finally wore out, went back to the 31"s.

(As well, I hammered in part of the body at the bottom lip of the rear of the wells.) I have 15" rims and BFG 32's, and they used to rub quite a bit. But my rims aren't Toyota, and I beleive they sit further out.
