Wheels & Tire: Newbie Edition

[4runninAGAIN]

Hello all, my name is Jeff. I’m new to the site, but not to the 4Runner. My parents just sold me the old SR5 for $5, so I’m looking to knock out this honey-do list.

QUESTION: I currently have 15”s on the truck P235/75R15. What’s are my options in getting bigger tires, while keeping the stock wheels and NOT lifting the truck?

265/75/16 seems to be a popular size without a lift; plug that into www.tiresize.com to find your equivalent 15" tire size.

Also, be sure to search a lot. TONS of people have asked this question before, there's pics of every possible tire/wheel/lift combo out there!

Also: go ahead and make this page a bookmark in your browser and go crazy.

If you do have 15s, then a 30x9.5x15 tire would look good, and no lift needed.

235s are about 28" tall.

235s are about 28" tall.

They're closer to 29", but it's a good point. Keep in mind if you get a tire around the size of a 265/75-16 how much it will throw your speedo off.

If you do, 60mph will actually be almost 66mph.

265s are about 31" tall

so if you're looking at 15" wheels, then you'd get a 31x10.5x15 tires

is the 4runner 2wd? They sit a bit lower than the 4wd. What year is it? Post a few pics of it.

I believe you may be the first to attempt to put 285's on.
