New FJ Cruiser Wheels

one more pic with the new wheels just for kicks...

 

whered you get those fj wheels if i may ask?

 

What did you do to the lights?? My 2010 wont run the pilots w/ fog lights

 

Do you know the specs on those wheels? They look like they are sticking out a bit past the fenders? Which I like.

 

Like the wheels too! I just got the same tires in 16", they grip great so far, cant wait to see how they perform in the snow...

 

awesome emblem on the tail gate lol love the wheels too

 

Wow these wheels look AMAZING on that car! Simply perfect!

 

car? but they look great on that truck

 

Oops sorry. It's my first truck. Always had a car in the past.

 

That looks awesome. I love those wheels. Your truck looks great

 

search "fog lights anytime mod"

 

I have FJ wheels on my '09 also, with the same size tires. According to my measurements, the offset ("reverse") of the FJ wheels give us a total increase in track of about 1.5". The fill out the fenderwells nicely.

I have noticed though, that when taking a sharp turn over a sidewalk or bump (slow speed), something sounds like it rubs somewhere - I don't know where, and I'm not worried about it, but I've heard it on occasion. Listen up and see if you hear it as well. (no lift on my truck - the suspension is stock other than the wheels)

 

Thanks for all the compliments. I've spent the last 6 years over at the Toyotanation forum, but it got so bogged down with adverts, so I switched over to tacomaworld. I need to do an evolution of my truck thread to list everything I have done

I got these wheels off ebay from a place in Utah called BTI wheels. Supr fast shipping and the price was right. I really got lucky

For the fogs I did the anytime fog mod by using a jumper wire from the relay. Did it 5 years ago and has held up great.

As I understand it, the specs on these wheels have a 15mm offset vs. The 30mm of the stock trd sport wheels. Effectively giving it a backspacing of 4.9" instead of 5.5". This sets the wheel out .6" on each side.

As for the tires, I wantedto go with a high quality AT tire, but still look good and have low road noise. I researched tires 2 hours a day for a couple weeks and these came out as the winner.

And there are no rubbing issues on my truck, everything clears by plenty of space. Could have gone bigger, but I like the look of this size

 

Good Move!! Nice truck & wheels. Welcome to TW!!
Oh the 1.21 GW made me laugh...cool.

 

how far north of cinci, im in the dayton area lol

 

I am in Maineville. It is east of Kings Island

 

Badass truck man!

 

Good choice on the tires. I just saw that consumer reports had a ranking of tires and these tires were the best in their category.

Also, in case you didn't know, Cooper is currently offering a $75 rebate on the tires: http://www.coopertirerebates.com/

 

I really wondered what those wheels would look like on the Taco. Clearly, they look fantastic!

Had they come in a 16" version, I probably would have gotten them over the FJ Cruiser SE wheels.

Thanks to the OP for giving me the idea to seek out a set of these wheels. Scored them on Craigsllist for $400, then picked up a set of 265 70 17 Duratracs. Very pleased with the results!
