Hi guys, i just bought a 1987 tercel, i would like to take her camping over on fraiser island and other destinations. i was wondering what it the maximum size tyre that fits standard and are there sunraisers that bolt straight on? any help into making her good for off road would be awsome.
Cheers Abbey
Are there sunraisers that fit the tercel?

Congradulations on your purchase, and welcome to the list!
I think a 195/70x13 is the largest that would fit. I am running 195/60x14, I get an occasional scrape on hard bumps. Going to the 14" wheel is a big improvement in performance and you have more sizes available. There are lots of existing threads on tire size, do a search.
Exactly what are "sunraisers"? I have not heard this term before. If it is something custom fit to the vehicle, not likey there is any aftermarket accessory still available for a car this old.
