33 x 10.50 x 15 on stock fj40?? (1 Viewer)

[fjfjfj]

Want to run 33 x 10.50 x 15 bfg all terrain a/t on stock steels and on stock FJ40. Is there a rubbing issue if I do that? Thanks for info.

They'll rub on the drag link end and they'll push out the fenders in the back. M/Ts have slightly narrower tread and will be closer to working.

Thanks Fast Eddy. fjfjfj

The 33x10.50x15 A/T's fit with a 2.5" shackle lift - it just barely rubs on the drag link when the steering wheel is turned full right. Other than that, I have been happy with the A/T's.

I'm running those tires on stock steelies, but I have a lift. I just wanted to mention that you will have to air them down to get them to wear evenly. On stock steelies, with 35 psi, the middle 4" of the tire width is all that touches the ground.

I'm running that size but in Mud terrains and with an OME 2.5" lift with no issues.

You're right.....

I don't have my owners manual in front of me, but I'm pretty sure it says your tire pressure should be set to 30 or 32 psi on a FJ40. I know it says it on the data tag on the door jamb. A lot of people tend to think just because it's a "truck" tire, it should be set 35 psi. Tire pressure is a function of weight of the vehicle. My 4 door tacoma is 29 in the front, 32 in the rear. Hope this helps in the ware of your tires in the future.

and the discussion here is about a 10.5" tire on a 5.5 to 6" wide wheel so none of that matters here.

I bought them. They fit fine. No issues. Thanks you guys.

If you compress the rear, they don't rub?

Nice. Once you're used to them, post up what pressure you end up running. Mine wear even (chalk test) at about 18 PSI--smoother ride but high steering effort and a weird sloshy feel on corners. I ended up pumping them back up to 25ish and like the performance way, way more.

I'm running mine at 25 psi on 8" wide rims. I've read it's not recommended to run them below 20 on the road.

25 is slightly over inflated... Although steers well with manual steering, and should improve fuel economy marginally. Over 25 the handeling was scary.

Compressed rear does NOT rub.

 

[bikersmurf]

My 40s over 2400lbs in the rear... When flexed, it would certainly rub if the fenders weren't cut back. But I'm also running 8" rims rather than 5.5" ones.

33x10x15 on Stock wheels? arent the stock rims only 6" wide?
I put your tire on 8.5 in rims with a 4" lift and NO clearance issues

5.5" wide and yes they fit.

Thanks, bikersmurf.

Do you have pictures of your FJ with the tires installed. Would like to see how it looks. Thanks.

Not sure sure you will find many fj owners here in the 40 section.

Won’t find many fj owners in the fj40 section?
