225/60r16 on 8" lift?

Somebody please send this guy some tires.
PLEASE.

 

Wow

 

Truck looks good, but larger tires would go nicely with it!

Just realized those are 2nd gen wheels

 

I have to assume those are his street tires, and he has different ones for wheelin?

I once considered getting some 29s for my old 86 4runner just to save the 32s I had for the dirt.

Of course, an 8” lift is a bit redonkulous for even wheelin, unless you’re a mudder. And that truck doesn’t scream “mud truck”...

 

Sorry guys,they said smaller tires increase HP and mpg!

 

Um,wow....that's..that's something.. ain't it.

 

Looks like a block lift, too. Pure awesome.

 

Holy hell of a body lift. Looks like 5 or so inches.

 

Hey maybe his budget was only a lift, can't put big tires first gotta lift first and go from there

 

Perhaps set up for stream crossings??

 

that's a straight suspension lift, no body gaps. and yes, by the rear leafs would assume a big block in there as the leafs are flat as hell.

 

also I never really understand why people put smaller tires on. they don't really save a noticeable amount of mpg. just get the same O.D. as stock and get good street tires

 

Look close under the bed pic. There is an attempt at making a gap guard. No?

 

I agree

 

225/70/16 oem size for poverty spec

20-21mpg

Sadly less horsepower than a Prius and Yaris. Have to drive with a bag over my head not to get embarrassed by school buses at signal lights

 

Does anybody know this guy or is it a random street shot pic ?

 

ooo, good catch, I couldn't see that at first. looks like a long square piece either welded or glued on somehow

oem never had 225/70-16

also, I got 21 mpg with my Firestone Destination A/T @ 265/70-16 (stock size). albeit in flat NC terrain

 

225/75/15 sorry

That’s what our poverty spec pre runner 4 door come with

If you paid a few dollars extra when new, they gave you the 16 inch wheels from sr5 and wrapped it in 225/7016 to keep the overall diameter as close to accurate as possible

I am fine with my small 28 inch oem 225 width

You real men in NC need the 265

Us girly men in girly truck don’t have the girth

 

It’s a glorious local ad listing.

I’m guessing it had big wheels / tires that sold separately then they slapped on the 2nd gens & called it good

 

I had to go and look back at the brochures but I see they still offered the 225/75 on every model. At least the gear ratio is a little better for them.

I guess dealers up north here always opted for the bigger wheel/tire combo, as I never saw the 15's when I was looking.
