    tire size on factory lift - now with 17's

    i appreciate all the help everyone did on my rim search . i got a good deal on a set of 17 inch rims with 265 70 17's on them .the rims i got are the black steel rims off of a toyota fj cruiser with black center caps . now my question is this . what is the biggest tire i can go with factory lift ? i am fixing to put a new set of heavy duty factory springs on the back . i don't need tires yet but i do want to get a good set of mud terrains or an aggresive a/t tire . i know i can go buy some 33x12.50 17's around here but that is a little much for me .

    You can fit 33 10.5's stock. You can fit 12.5's with a tad bit of trimming or hammering with a BFH.

    how bad do the 33's draw power from a 22RE? will the factory 4:11's be able to handle freeway overpasses without downshifting?

    Highly doubt that.
    I couldn't make a pass in 5th with my single cab 2.7 Tacoma on 4.10's and 33's.
    That's even before all my armor.
    I couldn't imagine having 40 less HP and however many less FT/LB's

    with 33s in my 3vz 4runner i couldnt do that, so a regear would be highly advisable with a 22re and 33s
