32s wont fit on a hilux???
ok, got a fella who wants to buy my BFG A/T 32/11.5R15 tyres. Wants to fit them on his RZN169 2000 model Hilux dual cab. Stock as a rock except for the aftermarket flares. They fit at the rear no probs but rub fairly severely on the inner guard and mudflaps behind the front wheels on anything more than half lock in either direction. I would have thought they would fit no probs. I cant see anything other than a body lift solving the problem but he and I agree that its a little too much trouble to go to. Has anyone fitted 32s to a standard height hilux of this vintage? Any probs fitting 31s?
Cheers for the info.

tried that, raised 30mm and the right TB adjuster locked up, could have removed them and turned them for more adjustment but would still mean he'd have to fit raised springs in the back to keep it level which means more $$$ he doesnt want to spend. I'm not worried about not being able to sell him the tyres, just surprised they dont fit, thought they had more clearance than that.
32 & 31 s on hilux
you will find that 32's and 31's will usually rub on this model hilux some worse than others, offset makes a difference.If there rubbing on the plastic at the back of the gaurd you can sometimes get away with moving the wheel forward by getting your local tyre shop to adjust the caster and reset your wheel alignment also you can heat the plastic with a heat gun and reshape it a little to give about 1/2 to 1 inch extra clearance!

Dude I think you missed the point, Drop the rims to 7" wide using lux offset instes of cruiser offset on 8" rims. 32" tyres should fit .... just maybe verry slight rubbage on full lock and full stuff

I had 32s on 8 inch cruiser sunrasiers on my IFS Lux and they did rub pretty bad with no lift.
You can toss that plastic bit from inside the guard and hammer the hell out of the seams in the back of the guard and they will probably clear or you can chuck in a 1 - 2 inch body lift.
Im running 33s with a 1.5" bodylift and a slight torsionbar crank (1 inch max).
After a good pounding with a BFH it barely rubs at all.

I have a 98 isf dual cab currently running 32s. The 31s will rub on lock on a standard bus. To get the 32s to fit I replaced the torsion bars with ARB ones & wound them up 30-40mm. Got the rear spring reset the same. And fitted a 2" body lift. Also fitted Landcruser 6.25 offset rims. 15x8s. They still rub on lock but they are great in the bush.

he doesnt want to do a body lift or suspension lift. I'm thinking a solid axle swap may be out of the question. Oh well, what have I got to lose................"Hey cobba, got an idea on how to make them tyres fit...........(Extra Heavy Duty Flame Suit ON!!)
fitting tyres
Yep

Wow this is a bit of a grave dig. Just as an update Im now running 35s with no suspension lift and 40mm bodylift. I have cut and shut the firewall a little and trimmed the guards. No rubbing at all.ausyota wrote:I had 32s on 8 inch cruiser sunrasiers on my IFS Lux and they did rub pretty bad with no lift.

G'day,
I have a 2003 hilux that has a 2" rear and 40mm front lift and have done some guard trimming and fit 265/75x16 (31.6x10.5x16) BFG AT's and no problem. Have a set of new Wrangler MTR's that are gonna go on soon and might need to do a little more "panel beating" on the inner guard as they are slightly bigger 265 than the BFG
on 16x7 IFS offset sunnies. you "might" get 32/11.5x15 with a lift and guard trimming but it would be close. might even get a 33/10.5x15 with a 2" lift and guard trimming.
