A twist on the question...I've had stock 225-15's, 31's, 32's, and 33's on my Raider in just the last year. I'm liking the 32's for my all around use, but would really like to go with lower gears for both the crawl range loss and for towing. My Raider is stock, no body lift, no cranked bars or lift shackles, some front bumper end trimming by tires only.

87 Montero, a real stocker:


87 Raider with 31's on 8 inch rims next to the K30 I'm going to try to buy this summer:


87 Raider with 32's on Enkei 8-inch rims (now on CMonty72's truck):


87 Raider with 32's on stock rims (my favorite so far, for styling and no steering wobble):


87 Raider with 33's on 8-inch front and 10-inch rear alloys (now on my 85 Montero):








I used the combination of widths to keep the same amount of exposed tread outside the fenderwell. The Raider drove nicely on the 33's, wasn't too loose in the corners, and best of my combos in the dirt. With my tools and no 5.29's, the 33's are too big for highway use for me.

I think 33's and a 2" body lift are the future for the 85 Montero I'm going to make into the offroad beater, along with lower gears for the t-case and axles, but this a is medium priority project.
