4 Tips to ACTUALLY Fit Tires on Toyota IFS | 33s No BMC

4 commonly misunderstood things you can do to fit 33s (285/70R17) on Toyota without a body mount chop, and greatly minimize cutting on more aggressive setups like 35s (315/70R17, 35X12.5R17) and beyond.

You are unequivocally the best technical offroading channel on YouTube at the moment - no one else even comes close to the level of detail, care, information and effort as you do - thank you so much for contributing so much to this awesome hobby!

Mechanical engineer here. I enjoy seeing you cut through all the myths and guesses with correct theory and data.

As an off-road suspension specialist this is best explanation ever ! And sometimes it’s hard to get customers new to the off-road world to understand this ! Awesome vid

Very few people on the internet these days produce correct information on tire size, suspension, etc. and so I can't tell you how refreshing it is to watch your videos. I wish more people would watch them. I got in an argument with a friend recently about the low backspace wheels on his jeep tj (3.5in) and how they were the reason the tire was rubbing the back of the wheel well when fully turned. He insisted that the wheel wells were poorly designed by jeep engineers and that they purposely made them too small to restrict owners from putting larger tires on.

I fell for the “you need UCA to run bigger tires”

I used to run 265-70-17 on factory uca. Now with jba, I do rub. I was telling everyone that they do not help, and everyone was saying I was wrong.

Thank you for making great videos.

As a retired Toyota master diagnostic tech, i find your video explaining front suspension limitations well done. It's easier to show someone this than trying to explain it myself.

Three people just agreed with your conclusion... first had an engineering degree, second was older and wiser and would think things through and the third was poor ....Nice video

first time posters on TacomaWorld have just been silenced by a single video!... although watching this would require research...nevermind. HaHa!!

You are 100% on the money. I put BFG 275’s on my stock 2020 TRD Off Road 4Runner with absolutely zero clearance problems… On the “factory wheels”. Keep up the great work & myth busting 😊

Once again, the quality of your information, presentation style, and production values are second to none. Absolutely top-notch content!

As usual, well done. Another thing people need to know regarding most Toyota IFS setups though is you will start turning into the frame with anything above ~33", requiring you to either accept that, and deal with even crappier tuen radius, or increase poke. This is why you need much more clearance with anything bigger than ~33". Plus, most >33" tires are only available in significantly wider sizes, requiring wider rims, which combine to really exasperate the issue.

Dude… THANK YOU! I have watched numerous videos on your channel and cannot begin to explain how informative your videos are. Incredible stuff!!!

[tylerrobinson]

Never have I ever more audibly said than when watching this video. Thank you so much for explaining this. What a great video, thank you!

Love the big tire & fender spacing breakdown. Wish I have this vid back in 2005 when I start modding my Tacoma for accommodating 37” BFG with 2.5” lift, flattened pinch weld, hammered in footwell, body mounts relocated, cut out fenders, mud-flaps removed, etc. has been fun! But your vid bring back memory😃

[HoanZone]

Holy smokes did you do an amazing job at explaining things. As an engineer I knew there was more to it than just cutting. Your explanation plus video clips put it altogether in an easy to digest package. Subscribed!!

[DSki]

Share almost every video to our local Yota club, thank you as always for the insight, science and mathematical approach.

[eredforhonor]

Mate I love your's engineering approach in contrary to slapping all the available gear. And you present the information in a very informative and factual yet interesting way. Keep on doing great job!

[Scoobienorth]

This is extremely well done and very much accurate across many platforms. Even Jeep. Wheel offset is critical along with your alignment settings. It’s common place to add more mods which all work together to hinder performance that you are after where less can be more in the end if you know what you are doing

Absolute legend. Most youtubers in Australia just slap on 4 inch lift and long ass bumpstop so their tyres stick out of their car to fit 35". And because of these excessive lift their car are no longer road legal and needs to spend more to get an engineer to certify their car. Probably spend as much money modifying it than buying it.

[brawldawg]

As a person with an understanding of suspension and alignment from the tech side, you did a great job explaining and giving visuals that the layman will be able to understand!
