It's time, time to discuss how to fit 33-inch tires on a 5th gen 4runner without modifying the body. No body mount chop, no bumper cutting, and no fender liner mod. This is how I fit true 33-inch tires on my 4runner.

You definitely took a great approach. Like you, I run 33" "pizza cutters" (255/80 R17) on my 5thGen 4Runner. The wheels are the TRD Pro with a +4 offset and are 7" wide. The improvement in traction off road, as well as wet and snow on road is insane. It's amazing. Plus, I'm able to go offroad and keep up with the Jeeps. You just need to pick the right line and go slowly over rocks. If you really want to go with 35" tires, you should. Just know what to expect when going to that larger size because it gets complicated. You might even have to do some fender work and possibly a BMC. Sandy Cats has some great YT videos on this. If you go to 34" or 35" a few things will happen. Stability goes down when off-camber and you'll start breaking steering components and CV joints. Unsprung weight goes way up. Look up the difference in weight between a stock size, a 33" tire and a 35" one. It's considerable. And if you haven't already, you'll need to regear the f/r diffs. The amount of stress you would impose on the drivetrain with 34s or 35s is considerable. More than likely, you'll need to upgrade your brakes as well because of the increase in unsprung weight and the increased leverage exerted by the larger tires. Stopping power will suffer and braking distances will increase. Your gas mileage will also take a considerable hit. So will acceleration. You should consider doing a regear and improving your brakes (Wilwood is great) before going larger than 33s. And if you go off road, consider replacing the radiator with a CSF radiator designed for the 4Runner that is all aluminum and nearly twice the capacity. The 4Runner is an amazing platform. The engineers knew what they were doing.

I came here looking for the 255/85 answer, I dont want to purchase 2 sets of tires... Must Have Answers!! This lady can't wait lol...I subed and hopefully will see the answer I need soon. Great vid BTW... It explained enough for those that don't have a suspension clue and didn't leave those of us that do too bored. Keep up the keeping up.. It's past this old ladies bedtime... Peace!

Well, if I can get a hold of 255/85s I'll try it. It's tough though, tire prices seem to go up every time I look at them.

Awesome info Sir, thank you. BTW you look and talk like a Jeremy Renner but not confined to an office.

I have stock SR5 rims with 285/70R17. 2.75 lift in front with no modifications. No rubbing on road but slight rubbing on off roads. Would love 35’s but for now 285’s are fine.

@EmbarkWithMark Ай бұрын

Thank you for sharing your experience! This is pretty normal for a 285. The nice thing about the 255 is they are a taller tire and have zero rubbing on or off road. 4runners really don't like wider tires.

@WendzDarKnight08 Ай бұрын

@@EmbarkWithMark I was debating 255’s but I live in the desert. Wider tires seem to do better in deep sand. Narrow tires are good for snow/ice. We hardly get ice out here in AZ 🇺🇸 I do love the taller 75 tires.

@@WendzDarKnight08 I also live in the desert. My experience is opposite, lol. :) I’ve done lots of testing with my Jeeps. The narrow tire seems to always do a bit better. With that said though, run what you like! 👍

Have you ran the tires without UCAs? I'm hoping they'll work without issue on an Eibach 2"/1" lift/stock UCAs.

@EmbarkWithMark Ай бұрын

I’ve not. Not to say it won’t work, it very well might. I would consider UCAs a need as soon as the lift exceeds 1”. It really is a good thing to have. Correcting the alignment and geometry is well worth the cost.

@LukeChiao Ай бұрын

⁠wa curios about this as well because the eibach kits seem to work w/o aftermarket UCAs

@@LukeChiao All depends on lift height. Personally I would not lift a 4runner passed an inch without touching the upper control arm.

@@EmbarkWithMark Thanks - Your video and Tinkerers" really gave me a better understanding of the 4runner's IFS.

@LadyToyz 17 күн бұрын

if the wider 265 doesnt rub, why would the narrower 255? I'm running eibachs as well, in search of cheap factory rims so I can buy the Mickey Thompsons 255/85 and see if they work.

Hi guys, what kind of budget do i need to do a work like that?

@EmbarkWithMark 22 күн бұрын

Depends on a few factors. How much lift do you want, and are you going to do the work yourself? I recommend looking at the tires you want to run, than the lift, than the components to make everything work correctly ( I.E. upper control arms, rear trac bar relocation bracket).
