Dont know if I can fit in the garage with 33's. Need help.

[alabamacruiser7]

I have a 78 FJ40 and I am debating between geting 31 bfg's or 33's. Stock hieght and stock wheels hub cap wheels. Is there anyone who can fit there 40 in a standard garage with 33's?

I measured mine yesterday and I had like 3.5 inches from the rollbar to the bottom of the raised door. I have 235's right now. This makes me think the tallest tire I can get and fit in the garage is a 31.

What do you guys think?

I have a SOA 55 on 35's and I fit in my garage with about 4 inches to spare. I do NOT fit in with my roof rack - not the first time I tried nor the second...

I have s 4" lift & 33" BFG MT Stands @ 6'10" with Soft Top I can just Barley clear the garage door with less than 1" to spair

Going to measure garage door.

7' garage door 4" lift 35" tires on my fj40 fits with the hard top on.

 

[alabamacruiser7]

The bottom of the door is 78in., the top of my truck with 235's is 71in. I think I can raise my garage to like 80in. by moving the door stop screw.

What do you guys think about 78in. and 80in? I think 80 will work for 33's.

The truck height will only increase by half the increase in tire diameter. Yes, you have plenty of room.

 

[alabamacruiser7]

Sweet, anyone know why the $70 off for BFG's doesn't apply to 33x10.50r15's? ATKO's.

Just for the record, bamableach's 40 fits in his standard 7' garage with SOA and 37" tires with no top. In case anybody is wondering.

 

[alabamacruiser7]

Sweet, I need 37's. Nah, I am keeping mine more stock looking.

Worse comes to worse,,, if you come up short a bit,,, you can always air down ,,,PITA though but your 40 will be in the garage,hope it aint your DD.

Just fold down the windshield and remove roll bar.

Mine fits with room to spare. 33s, 4 inch lift SUA. I'm going 35s in a month or so when I can get a good deal.

OK, so you basically have 29" tall tires right now. You have 3 1/2" to spare. If you go to 31s you won't be raising your truck 2", you will be raising it 1" (31/2 - 29/2). If you go to 33s you will be raising it 2" (33/2-29/2). So 33s should work. If it's too close you can let some air out to get it in and out of the garage. HTH

I have a 6' 9" bay door and a 4" lift with 33's. It fits with the slight sound of the top rubbing the weather stripping.

 

[AKA DUKE]

Should fit though may be close, I have maybe a inch to spare.

Fit with hardtop - yes.

Fit with hardtop and bikes - no.

I have 3.5" of lift and 33's and my garage door is 80 inches with it totally flat up on it's tracks. I don't have a hardtop but with the inside handle removed from the door my truck fits in no problem with my Kayline soft top on. With the handle on I poked a hole in the back of the top once backing into the garage. I actually put a power opener on the door just so I wouldn't have to shove a screwdriver in the track to hold the door up to get the cruiser in.
