35inch tires

[mikey's2010SR5]

My next set of tires are going to be 34s. I am re-gearing soon too. I know the body mount will need to be cut. Then I will bust out the BFH for other stuff.

@rt: I run a 32.8x11.5 on a 17x9 wheel with 5.5 backspace and -12 offset (same as stock, so the extra width over 265's is split equally between the inboard and outboard side).

I don't think either of those (backspace or offset) is same as stock. Backspace is 4.5" for SR5/LE and 4.875" for TE. I believe the offset is +12mm for SR5/LE and around +15mm for TE (not sure on the TE honestly). Sounds like your wheels are significantly different than stock.

4.5" of backspace on a 7" wheel is equal to 12mm of offset, 5.5" backspace on a 9" wheel is also equal to 12mm of offset. Have a look:

Edit: double checked my own wheel specs, they are different from what I remembered, and I also mistakenly thought the stock wheels were a negative offset for some reason (mine are actually 17x9, 4.5"bs -12 mm offset), but the above is still true

Hey CGill,
Like your rig.
Can you tell me what size Wheel/Back spacing/and offset you used ?
It looks likey they fit nicely in the wheel wells even though you went quite a bit wider.
Thanks.

revived an old thread but kinda glad he used the search button.

I've got the same wheels - mine are a -12mm, though I'm only running a 285/70. Maybe a quick check of the Ultra website might give you available offsets for our bolt pattern in a 17" and you can do some detective work. Any proficient tire shop should be able to help you decide from there with some basic measurements.

Rub

When I bought this truck it had 35's and the rub was bad, also the gas mileage was 12 mpg. For both those reasons I sold them and went to 33's

Check with Jason Demello. He might be willing to tell you what was involved in stuffing 35's under a 5th Gen. :cheers:

Needs little more lift!

To me 285/75/17 and 295's look the best on a 5th gen. These are 34" tires.

Anything that wide as in Demelo's picture just does not look proportional to me. Sure he fit them. But look how close the tires are to the fender flares? I bet he rubs when going up driveways at a 45 degree angle. You simply cannot off road that thing with full stuff! Maybe you can if you ware earplugs so you dont hear the tires rubbing on everything..

Any 35" tire on the roof rack? How the heck do you get a tire up/down there that big by yourself? You simply can't!

295/70-17 Coopper SST's

34" tire required body mount chop, caster to nearly 4 degrees and some plastic trimming of the front bumper

I guess I'll share mine, 35x12.50

 

[ma_mu_]

I use 35x12.5r17. I have 6" lift. You need a lot of processing if you want to run the off.

34" tires on a 4Runner

What lift components did you use to fit the 34" tires?

 

[rochmpr]

What lift components did you use to fit the 34" tires?

I have the Icon extended travel, Stage 5 front and MT long travel with heavies rear. Had to do the BMC, pound the pinch weld, beat the back of the fender well with a BFH, after market bumper, which loses a lot of the fender liner and caster set at over 4°. Still have some rubbing. It's just how it's going to be without a lot more work.

offroading

whats the minimal i need to do if I want to be offroad ready in an sr5? I was thinking 32s or 33s and a 2-2.5 lift. will that be enough?

If your main concern is being offroad ready, then a lift and tires is not where to spend your money. For the most bang for the buck, spending money on 4 wheeling lessons will do you wonders. Put a great 4x4 driver into an average 4x4 vehicle, and he will go much farther than a novice in the world's most capable Jeep. Knowledge is the most important thing you can have out there. After that, recovery gear is essential. Whether or not you're stock, or fully decked out, you can get stuck. It's better to have no lift and small tires, and be able to extricate yourself than it is to be stuck on 33s with 3" lift and no way out. Even after that, there's still things that your money is better spent on to be "offroad ready", including armor such as skid plates. If you wheel at night, I'd rather have some accessory lighting than a lift, if we're talking functionality.

Now, if most of us were honest with ourselves, we add the lift and bigger tires for looks primarily. There is not too much functionality that is added in comparison to the things I mentioned above. Now, the thing is, if you're going from a "small" passenger tire to a larger all-terrain or mud-terrain tire, of course you'll have a performance difference. But keep in mind, the majority of that difference is due to the tire tread/compound itself, rather than the 1-2 inch size increase.

With that said, many of us are running 285/70/17s on 2"-3" of lift. I'll easily admit it, the lift and tires were one of my first mods, and it was for looks. If I truly wanted the most capable rig out there, I would have bought an older and more capable vehicle and not worried about looks. But that's nothing to be ashamed about, many sports car purchases are based in large part on looks. In general, 285/70/17s on 2-3" of lift should be fairly painless, with only very minor modification required. Of course, just due to truck variability, some people will require more than just "very minor" modification, and some people will require no modification. I feel I fell into the average or so; a little bit of fender pushing back was required, and took off the mudflaps, but other than that, nothing like a body mount chop was required.

Appreciate the response. I have a pretty good knowledge of 4 wheeling, i just want a little more clearance than i have. I scraped a few rocks on the bottom when I was off roading the other day so the skid plates will definitely be necessary. I'm going to try to take the running boards off tomorrow so give me a little clearance on the side. its a brand new car so I dont want to get crazy with it. i just want to be able to get around a majority of the hills out here in colorado. i hate taking the easy trail! haha

Truth right there

I got 34.5" Tires and the rub that occurs on mine is very minimal(i did do some fender liner trimming), i have 315/70/17 wit a 3" lift.

how much did trimming cost? Im trying to fit 35's on my 2013 and want to know a good price to trim
