Hey ya'll this is my first time bein on one of these so bear with me.. I got myself a 95 tacoma with a 2.7 (4x4 of course). It came with a 3" body and i installed skyjacker adjustible coils up front which still have plenty of lift left in them. Its got 31x10.50's on it which is nothin for the motor to push. My question is.. can i go with a 33x13.50 w/ a 10" rim or even a 35x 13.50 with my existing suspension setup and be ok power and clearance wise? How bout gas mileage? I preciate yalls comments!!

Power,NO- lift,YES You can get away with running 33's on stock gears but you will never see 5th gear(if it's an manual trans).On my 99 tacoma I'm running 33x12.5 on 8" rims 3" SL with a 2"BL along with a 1.5" wheel spacer up front, the fenders are trimmed almost 2"and they rub just a little bit(frame).The 33x13.5 might be just a little bit too wide for the Tacoma.You may need some wheel spacers for the front and a good amount of fender trimming to make them fit. |

Ive never owned a 2.7 so i dont know about power but i would say if you say you have power to spare with 31s then its not going to be horrific just going to a 33. You can always regrear at a later date.
As far as fitament just buy rims with the correct back spacing. You can get black steelies with as little as 2" backspacing, though i wouldnt reccomend going that far. And I would go with 8" rims, even though the manufacturer is going to suggest a 10" or 12" rim.
Guys i have wheeled with are running 3" suspension with 3" body lifts clearing 35s.

Ok i see what your saying.. i do some interstate travel every once in a while but if it means i'll have to stay in 4th gear until i can re gear than so be it.. I wanted a little tire sticking out of the fenders.. i think that looks pretty good with a wider stance but you think the 13.50's will be too wide so i guess i'll figure somethin else out.. any suggestions about that? other than spacers... |

See i wanted some tire good tire stickin out of the sides.. i think that looks sharp but if they are runnin 35's then they prolly have the 3.4L.. |

The smaller the backspacing, the more the tires stick out. My point about back spacing was to not use spacers.

I'm with ya now i didnt catch that at first.. im used to basic tires with basic rims ha ha so if i wanted the tires to be around halfway out of the fenders would i want to go with a 3" or so? |

you would be fine with 33x12.50 with a 4 inch suspension lift, and have all the 5th gear you want, it still has plenty of power to cruise. 35's on the other hand, time for some gears.

OK, it's Monday nite, the 24 party is over  , i'm bored and ... , so here's my take. You're running a 2.7L EFI engine w/31's, want to go to 33's, and want to know if it can handle it. Well people have been running 2.4L carbed (22R)engines with 33's for decades with stock gears, and most people found the power loss due to the larger tires liveable. So it's up to you, with the much larger HP you have, can you deal with it ? Chances are you can, and if not you can always regear later. |

You must have a 3.4 v-6.I ran 33x12.5's with a 99 reg cab 2.7(4cyl) and stock gears and NEVER got to use fith gear hell I barely got to use fourth.I re-geared to 4.88's and now I use fith gear all the time.Only on real steep hills will I have to downshift to fourth. |

I would wonder if your wheel wells are going to be able to handle the tires sticking halfway out. Seems like you would be ripping up either the tires or the fenders when the suspension compressed with 33 12.50's on a mild lift. My buddy had to shave the front bumper a bit to prevent rubbing with 33 12.50's, a 3"sl and 2"bl. Now he is running 35 12.50's, 4.88 gears on a 97 Taco with a 2.7l. He only has to downshift on steep hills and can still hit the speed limiter. Of course with the 35's came EXTENSIVE fender mods as well as cutting and rewelding the fire wall behind the front tires. He still rubs on the front frame and his tires will hit the plastic behind the washer fluid tank when he isn't running his 1.5" spacers. Not sure what his backspacing is on his tires but it isn't less than 3".
