Alabama thread!

If the ring lays flat there’s a 0.5” gap. The thinner beaded tires are 0.75” which is fine, but the 1” thick ones are too much. Going to see if interco will swap them out but worst case scenario I’ll run spacers on the thicker one and keep them on the rear. Not sure if I’ll need to replace the coned ring or if I can get it to go back flat. Might not matter much

 

So you need 1/4 inch spacer to match the difference. I measured the gap on mine on the belt side, it is 1/4 inch after compressing it. That will leave 1/4 inch on the tire to compress.

 

Good deal. That should work if they won’t swap them out. At least I have one put together and can cycle my suspension. That’ll keep me busy

 

You think you will have to do any banging or cutting?

 

I should clear the firewall fine, but will likely cut or massage back the front under the headlights. Won’t be as bad as 35s since the LT kit pushed the tire forward almost an inch.

 

Won’t take much to clear these after all.

 

Is that metal or plastic?
That looks awesome

 

All metal but it sledges easily. I doubt I’ll have to cut and weld anything. My upper ball joint is maxing out so I need to bump a little sooner which will help too.

 

Nice, do they clear the frame good too?

 

Yeah they’re way away from the frame and cab mount. LT helps a lot with that

 

Cool, they look so much bigger

 

Yeah I don’t know how 40’s would fit without some major inner fender reworking haha

 

I tried reading some of the forums in here and looking these things up, but I still just don’t get it. Any reason why these wouldn’t work on my 3rd gen? They’re off a 2007 FJ.

 

Same bolt pattern they will work

You’re Google-Fu is strong. Thank you sir.

 

Are those 16’s? I feel like I’ve asked you before but do you have the black 16 sr5 wheels?

 

Grateful to be in the double digits now. There was a time I couldn’t fathom staying clean for a week. Glad there’s something more powerful than me taking care of things.

 

Congrats man.

 

Congrats Clay! Walking the straight line is a hard thing to do sometimes.

 

Yeh they’re 17s. I’m looking to putting either 255/70s or 255/80s on them so I don’t have to regear yet. I do have the black sr5 wheels!

Congratulations buddy that’s a huge accomplishment! Now I feel like an ass for bringing the cold ones on Saturday though. Sorry bout that.
