prado 90 and 255-85-16 (33s)?

Post by panos »

Hi,
First time posting here. Great forum by the way. I tried searching first by I didn't find anything relevant. I interested in fitting 255-85-16 mt's and OME 2" (coils and shocks) in my recently acquired prado 90 '01 (land cruiser here in europe). Are there any known problems with this set up (rubbing)?

Thanks
Panos

It will rub on your front mud flaps, but you can adjust them.(grinder)Back will fit no worrys.

I resurrect this thread to add some observations after one year of off-road use of my prado 90 with the bf mud-terrain 255/85/16. First the front setup:
*OME 882 Front Coil Springs
*ARB deluxe winch bumper
*Warn 9.5 xp winch
*No mud flaps
*ARB locker
The tires rub a little on the chassis with the steering wheel at full lock. The big problem is the durability of the outer CV joints. I broke 3 very easy with the diff-locked. I believe that 33.3" is to much for the prado 90 IFS. I went back to 265/75/16 (31.9") and so far no problem....that's all!
