wheels and tires for a lifted 4runner

[mike_d]

hi all, i'm new to this site. my dad just gave me a call tonight and wanted to know if wanted his old 1990 4runner before he sells it to someone else. so of course, i'm gonna take it! now my brain has started working on what kind of cool stuff to do to this rig. he's left everything stock on it, so any mods i'll be doing will be on a stock 1990 SR5 4runner.

my main question is, what's the factory backspacing on the 1990's with the 31" tires. i'm thinking about putting a 4" lift on it, and according to the lift's web site, i can go up to 33" tires. so i'd like to go with 33x12.50's on 16x10 wheels, i just need to know what backspacing to go with to avoid rubbing on the truck.

i'm thinking about BFG TA KO's for the tires, but if anyone has other suggestions, i'd love to hear them.

thanks,
mike

BFG AT KO is the best all-terrain tire if you're looking for a balanced on-road and off-road traction. If you're more on-road than off-road, then consider Bridgestone Dueler AT REVO. REVO is actually cheaper than BFG.

I have a 2" Roger Brown body lift with 16x8 rims and 285/75/R16 MT/Rs and I just barely rub on full turn so with 4" you should be fine I would think.
