I have a 3 inch body now, but am adding OME881 coils and struts upfront, and I'm gonna be building a custom pack for the back to match the front. So I should have somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-6 inches lift total. I have the factory 99 fender flares and the tires are just inside of them, so the 285/75's should sit nicely. I chose these because I don't like how wide the 12.50 width looks with only 33 inches tall, looks better with a 35 in my opinion.
"An 8" rim with stock 4.5" bs will stick out 1" farther then a 7" but that won't matter much with the 285s (11.4" width)" Hytenor
So if I can find a set of 16x8 with in the neighborhood of 4 to 4.5 inches back spacing I would be ok. Would a set of say 1999 or 2000 4 Runner rims work.
Ok, that setup should work for you. the 881s on the 2.7 will give you about 2" after settling. you can add a couple trim pks or a 1" spacer kit after full settling to regain the initial 3". If you don't have manual hubs, however, that 3" will cause you some CV boot problems. Hi-angle boots are available from Downey or CV Unlimited for around $50/axle.
You may be able to pick up a set of OE 7x16s from the f/s section for cheap but you'll need some 1/4" wheel spacers to make the 285s work. But, with your body lift you may not need this at all so try the tires without spacers first.
If you look into the BFG 33x10.50s you can run them on stock 7x15s with only 2-2.5" of lift with very minimal rubbing. I have had these tires for over 2 yrs now.
now, you'll need to consider regearing for those 33s and that ain't cheap.
you need to figure out what gears you have now. check your driver's side door panel for a set of codes. look for one starting with RZN___ and another with BO__ and post them. the 2.7s came with 6 different gear ratios...thanks Toyota. Unless you have 4.30 or 4.56 gears (not likely with a '99) you will experience Yugo performance on 33s.
