33 or 35's

Engineer · Post by **Engineer** » Tue May 01, 2007 5:30 pm

just curious if it would be worth putting 35s on surf with a 2lte? or should i just go for 33s? got a good price on some 35's

Cheers
Ryan.

I have an LN130 with 33's. I have a 2in body and a 2in suspension lift and don't get any rubbing at all.

It had nearly bald 35's on it previously and they rubbed the front inner guards.

would the dirty diesel be able spin 35s? if so anyone else had any rubbing with 35s etc?

last year down here bruce hughes won a comp with his 2litre hilux running 35,s, he couldnt spin them enough to work at their best and they rubbed, he had a lift etc... 35,s drain what little power is already there, but hey, they are 35,s

yea just not sure wich way to go. 35's would look good, but 33s would be more practical i guess. i have 31" pirrelli scorpion mudders at the mo

go 33,s 31,s to 35,s is a huge jump not only in size but also in price, is your wagon solid beam or ifs

I found just going from 33 to 35 was a pretty steep leap in gearing and thats with a chev to turn the wheels

Mattman · Post by **Mattman** » Tue May 01, 2007 7:31 pm

Yeah the gearing is an issue. I have 4.5's with my 1UZFE and 33's and I would ideally like to go to 4.8's to get the best gearing with the V8.

If I went to 35's I would probably need 5.29's to have the best gearing. That sort of gearing, 33's and 4.8's or 35's and 5.29's seems to be close to factory with respect to revs etc.

I am sure you could get 35's to clear in the front if you wanted. A larger offset rim and some firewall reshaping should sort it.

plasma cutting an tig reshaping or big hammer reshaping? :lol:

think i might just go for the 33's. but 35's would be phat be a pitty to go 4wding with 35's an not being able to drive them tho.

go for the 33's, it would be absolute shit on the road with 35's and your gearing. an realisticly thats where it spends most of its time. 4.8's are hard enough to find and i dont know if you can even get the 5.29s in ifs and if you could it then good luck getting some!!! you will def need new rims with smaller off set (is that right? the ones that stick out more any way) dont get the ones blair got they dont stick our far enough. for 33's you will need a body lift and might fit 35's depending on the brand (all measure different) but will most likely get some rubbing.

off road you will want a tyre that clears well cos you will hardly get out of first with the 33's. wot brands are you looking at? those perallis you have at the mo seem to be a good tyre, havnt heard andything bad about them yet.

i just done some calcs on my gearing at the mo, is my diff ratio 4.12?

Mattman · Post by **Mattman** » Wed May 02, 2007 5:26 pm

I would have thought it would be a 4.3, I thought the 4.1's were the 2 litre petrols. Might be wrong though.

Matt.

Engineer · Post by **Engineer** » Wed May 02, 2007 5:32 pm

well i might have a 4.3 i just done a quick calculation im probably off the mark.

4.3 in the early IFS 2.4TD surfs... 4.8 in the 2 litre petrol later models...

Engineer · Post by **Engineer** » Wed May 02, 2007 5:47 pm

just done the calc again and got 4.25, thats close enough for me :wink:

Petemcc · Post by **Petemcc** » Wed May 02, 2007 8:20 pm

some of the v6's also had 4.8's. chech you diff code on the front page down the right theres a link to a toyota diff page.

yours should be g285 , 4.3 with an lsd rear.

for future reference any body wanting to change ifs diff ratios, marlin crawler offer a range of ring and pinnion sets for both 8" rear and 7.5" front diffs from 4.55 to 5.29s for roughly $150us ( i think ), a good option for people who arent giving there truck death of road or see more on road use than off. www.marlincrawler.com
