Does anybody know the largest tyre I can fit in a 2004 SR5 Hilux 4x4, with a 2" lift. ultimetly I would love 32x11.5, but will not fit on the original 15x7" rim, cant buy 15x8" alloys anywhere.
I Would like to try 265 75 R16 with a wheel change, Do you think it will fit? or is there another good size for them?
Thanks in advance.

Friend of mine has the same mags on his Hilux. Had huge amounts of trouble trying to find any decent tyre to fit at all. You can get a 16x8 Sunraysia rim for $90. Might not look to flash on the SR5 though.

What about a 33x10.5? That would look pretty neat as muddies I reckon. And it fits on a 15x7 rim....

do you wanna stay legal? if so - you're limited to 235/75r15 - this is what im running on stock
suspension - it's less than 15mm bigger than standard so it's legal.... but it's no fun :(
havent lifted mine yet so i'm talking out my ass but the general consensus seems to be you can ALMOST fit 31's with no lift so i reckon you'd be ok with 2inch and 32's... dunno about 11.5 though - the width might cause some other issues. 32x10.5 would fit on your 7 inch rims and should slot in ok... do you REALLY need the extra inch of width?
all of this relates to my 2000 lux - toyota don't seem to change much over the years so it would probably still apply to the 04 models??
cheers,

Hi Hero
Have a look at this site for some ideas. Note that it is not an SR-5. I believe you can fit a 265/70*16" tyre but the 75 series will foul the wheel arch flares/mud flaps on the front. Check insurance and rego requirements as these could be a nightmare in unforeseen events. Good luck.
