Sorry to ask this question again. I want to run 35" tyres on my 2.8 turbo desiel hilux. Does anyone have any opinion on what diff centers i need to use to retain as close to factory settings (and onroad feel) as possible. 4.56, 4.88, or 5.29????? I use the vehicle 98% of the time on road and fuel economy is a small concern. Thank you all for your opinions.

run 4.88's.. should give your pretty close to back to standard gearing.
You can pick them up from here in the forsale section, ebay, snake racing, superior engineering etc etc etc.

i run 33's and 4.88 with the same engine, i have found that at bout 100km/h on my spedo my actual speed is bout 95km/h i proved this with a gps and a standard car... so in other words i slightly lowered my ratio's to what the standard are.. would be perfect for 35's i think
Hope it helps

i'm running 4.88's with 35s and its giving me about 105 kmh at 2500rpm. Would it be worth in your case to go up to 5.29 so it doesnt lug in top?
