yeah got 32s.

you wont notice much difference really.

your revs will sit 3.5% lower at any given point so sweet fark all. no need to change ratios for such a small increase.

i had 31's on my 95lux (3L-slow in the first place) then put a set of 33's on it. didnt make fuck all difference on the road.. but as soon as i was in the bush in low trying to crawl i noticed the difference alot.

defentally have to change ratio's when i go to 35's..

But with the standard power on your 2.7 and only 32's i probably wont even notice the difference..

Post by error »

Have a Runner with a 3Y on 32' tyres,

get some 33's, more useful off road and the motor will deal with the ratios good enough.

92 hilux dual cab, fitted with everything that would make it 33% heavier. 32's pushed along with a 2.8l deisel running a safari turbo 11psi, snorkel, k&n filter, and 2.25 exhaust with no mufflers. Backed by a g52 5 speed.

Offroad - happy
onroad- happy
breaking- aint they all farked anyway
spedo correction- 95kmh is realy 100kmh
Tyre clearence - 2in spring lift, scrubs the fronts offroad when flexed to max. but if they don't touch they aint big enough.

towes me camper trailer no worries.


Hope this helps.
Turn up th wick ya sook
