Land Cruiser Prado 90 biggest tire size: stock and lifted
The biggest tire owners run on a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 90 at every lift height, with the trimming it takes, the wheel specs you need and the lift kits that get you there.
265/75R16 (about 31.6 in). An IH8MUD member who has owned both a 90 and a 95 says it won't rub on stock suspension unless the springs have sagged, and ExplorOz members add that it needs the 7-inch rims of a GXL-type truck, because it's too wide for the 6-inch rims on base models. 285/75R16 rubs with or without a lift, on the upper control arm and a rear pinch weld. For 33s, the same IH8MUD member suggests a lift and 255/85R16s.
Biggest Land Cruiser Prado 90 tire at every lift
| LIFT | BIGGEST TIRE | WHAT IT TAKES |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 265/75R16 | Doesn't rub unless the springs have sagged (IH8MUD). Needs the 7-inch rims: ExplorOz owners say it's too wide for the 6-inch base rims. |
| Any | 285/75R16 | Rubs with or without a lift, on the upper control arm and a rear pinch weld that can be ground down (IH8MUD). |
| 2–3 in | 255/85R16 (33 in) | Taller and lighter than a 285/75 and easier on the front end, but it needs a lift. Above 2–3 in, plan on a diff drop to protect the CVs. |

Lift kits, wheels and tires for the Land Cruiser Prado 90
Fresh springs and shocks undo 25 years of sag. Diesels need heavier front springs than V6 trucks, and Dobinsons makes a Prado-95 diesel setup for exactly that.
There isn't much aftermarket armor for the 90 in the US, which is why Coastal Offroad's weld-together kits come up on IH8MUD. One owner warns that their rear bumper only fits five-doors.
Fitment comes from owners and specialists; wheel width, offset, trimming and bump stops change what fits. Check clearance at full lock and full flex before you buy. Some links are affiliate links.
