Original rim size

Got a 97. Been lifted. Want to go back to orig wheel size. What size stock rims, wheels and....can I replace without removing the lift? Thank u in advance.

 

Original wheel was either 31x10.50R15 or 265/70R16. Might look a little odd with the lift and such a small tire.

 

Should tell you the orig wheel size on the driver side door sticker.

Yes, you can go back to original size without removing the lift. Most people lift to fit bigger tires, so if you’re going back to stock, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Only issue is if they have 16” or bigger wheels and they did the tundra brake upgrade. If it has those brake calipers, you can’t fit 15” rims.

 

What sort of lift do you have? Do you have any pics?

 

I'll get some and post tomorrow. Local tire shop couldnt tell me size of rims on truck. Don't want to get new tires if rims are wrong.

 

Thnx jbrandt and 2 beers.

 

The tire shop couldn’t read the size that’s printed on your tires???


Holly shit, don’t go back there!

 

Rim size should be on the rim somewhere. It's either 15x7 or 16x7.

That's what I was thinking.

 

That’s not a flip comment — it’s serious advice. Run, don’t walk, from that place.

 

Yes, this needs repeating. I was dead serious.

No different than if you take your car to a shop, and they can’t tell you what kind of car you have. Or your computer to a computer replair shop and they don’t know what kind it is.

 

My thoughts, too. Super small town, not a lot of options...but it sure seemed odd they couldn't determine rim size.

 

You look on your door sticker yet?

 

Looking in the a.m. will get pix too of lift. So appreciate the input!

 

Thank u all!

 

wheel 15x7, tire 31x10.5

 

A '97 came with 15s, most likely a 15x7. Metric sized tires were not introduced on 1st gens until the '01 model year.

And you can't always rely on the sticker for rubber size. Mine says 215/70r16 which is not what it came with.

OP, on that same sticker that everyone is telling you to look at, it will also list a diff code. For example, BO3A. The original gear ratio can be established from that code and that will tell you more about the stock tire size.

 

Stock should 225/70/15

may I ask why u want to go to stock?

 

I was going to say that too. But I also assumed they couldn't tell him the OE sizes (not the ones on vehicle) because door stickers usually only state tire size and wheel diameter, not the wheel width, right?

Till I saw his profile says he has a 4wd racoma.

That model didn't have door stickers.

 

lol Tacoma!

 

Here's a pix. will check door sticker next.
