I got them installed! They just barely fit, but they do fit!!!
I will crank the torsion bar a few turns just to be safe though and probably get the 1 inch spacers in the back installed in a week or so.

...here's how a 2wd looks with supra rims and 215 75 14's on,,
...you'll have to wait a week before I show you the 'double-sprung' look
...this is what it looks with the '30-year-springs' look
what tire brand are those 215's? You don't have any rubbing issues when making turns or going in reverse?
Earlier in this thread I just put on some stock size Toyo's on my 4WD Van but they do rub when turning and going in reverse, Just to add I haven't touched any of the suspension.
... the 215's are BF goodrich radial TA.... 70x14''
admittedly there is a bit of rub with the door,, bot just enough to say there is.
With a load and soft springs,, they were binding in the rear wheelwells in bumps,, now ~2 to 2 1/2'' higher with the double springs
So I got a nice 4wd recently but I do not like the rims (15") that were put on the thing .... I like my things stock. Found a set of OEM rims from another member here and now need to get me some tires. I will never be hard crawling rocks like a goat so I do not need the most aggressive tire ... mostly long road trips / camping / some lighter off road .... now my understanding is that it's hard to get tires for the 14" rims .... that true? I did find this tire Bighorn MT-762 27x8.50R14LT on another post .... looks completely bad ass but probably more than I need .... that and I like to save on milage whenever I can ... seems like these would cut down on the milage ... anyhow any sage advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh and if anyone is looking for some 15" rims with tires I have attached a photo of what they look like. Thanks!
Wow I like those rims!!! There's a lot of threads on 14" tires, try typing in-- 14" tires -- in the search field and there's quite a few that pop up and just scroll thru to see which one may suit your needs. I personally went with something for everyday driving and just a good tire. Stock size Les Schawb Toyo's on my 4WD Van but they do rub a little on turns, dips and in reverse while turning.
The old Toyo's that were on there were 2 sizes smaller then stock and never had a problem with rubbing but looked too small, they were Toyo 185 75r 14.

Thanks for the response JDM! I've found a bunch of suggestions for tires thanks to your advice. I'll be getting rid of those rims you like next month with the tires once my new ones are mounted .... If you wanna come and get'm!
No problem!!
Very tempting to take a road trip with the family down to Cali, my wifey would love that!!!! But when she finds out it was to come and pickup some shiney cool rims... Well that would be hard to explain!!!!
i have only found the maxxis big horn LT 27/8.50 r14 they are aggressive and they are kind of big in case you are not into that and the there is a BF Goodrich a/t 205/75 r14 but i'm told they are discontinued for a few years and if i find them don't buy them because of the age and storage.
good luck let us know what you find.

i have had 18" lionheart tires on my other car for a couple months new. so far so good.
Kenneth, if you still have those rims for sale please contact me. I am in Marin,just across the bridge. My name is don, 415 4884625. thanks!
Hahh, it's been a 'while', but just noticed this post,, and just took a photo of the doubled rear suspension today,, and here's also a picture of the look.
...simple to install, raises the rear ~2'', stiffened nicely for acceleration, loads and cornering, but not overly stiff, even when the van's empty.
I've done this in 3 vehicles, over ~12 years,, works totally fine, even in Baja conditions. <;~]

Hi, new here, needing new tires, don't need anything too aggressive and thought these BFGOODRICH
RADIAL T/A
P 205 /70 R14 93S SL RWL
would fit my '89 4x4 ?

... I dunno, but if I can fit the 215-70-14''s on my 2WD, with only miny adjustments,,, I have a feeling you'll be pretty good to go with a 4WD.
...Likely the area to be most wary of side clearance to the sliding door. With different rims, if there's any change in offset, this could become a deal breaker. <;~l
From a post of mine above, after I installed the 215-70-14''s on my 2WD...''admittedly there is a bit of rub with the side door,, but just enough to say there is....
With a load and soft springs,, they were binding in the rear wheelwells in bumps,, now ~2 to 2 1/2'' higher with the double springs''
The stock tire size for your van is 205-75R 14 so yeah, since 205 /70R 14 tires are smaller they would fit no problem. From the ground to the top of the tire they are only about 3/4" smaller so no big deal. They will throw your speedometer off by ~ 2 mph (speedo will read ~ 62 when you're going 60). Personally I'd want stock size or bigger. Tim
Thanks guys , Micah, Do you have any fotos of your van with the 215/70's on ?
