3.4 v6 on 33s advice!

[LuX54]

Just after a little advice on guys running 285s/305s/33s with stock ratios on 3.4l? Whats it drive like on standard ratios? I believe my current ratios are 3.55, anyone with 4.1 ratios?

I got the 2.8 3L with factory 5speed manual and 4.3 final
It's no rocket but never was to start with

The 305's with chew the fuel and cost about $20 more per tyre
285's don't look so out of place on a gen 5 or 6 hilux

To run 305's you'll probley need a -44 rim not -22 witch works for 285's
305's on -44 will hang out guards 30mm more on each side over 285's on -22 so you'll need bigger flares

How much lift have you got?
I have gen 5 (1990 sr5) 3"efs and 2" extended shackles and would hit the tyre into cab on up stroke so if off-roading 4" lift is the min you want, if your mall crawling 2" will be fine

2003 hilux with 3" suspension lift (2" torsion bar wind and 1" balljoint spacer) with a 1" body lift

Get 285/75r16
Won't be a rocket and 90 on the speedo will be 100
If you find its too slow for you
Either look for a set 4.5 from a auto 3.4v6 if your is manual or 4.88 if you have auto
And you should have same power as you do now,
You just need to wheel a bit more careful due to axel load and torque
