    Wheels received. They look sharp!!

    Getting them put on this afternoon. Quick question, do I need to use the plastic hub-centric rings that came with wheels?

    No, you won't need to use them and actually, they won't fit. These wheels are hub centric for your truck.

    Hey when my set of tires runs out, im looking at getting new wheels and tires in 16" or 17"...will somebody post some pictures of how much the wheels stick out? I might get a set sometime in the future, but I'd like to see a picture along the body lines first to see how they look next to the fenders! Thanks in advance guys

    Just snagged a set of 16" Level 8 Guardians (black) with Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx LT285/75R16E tires to install on my FJ Cruiser. This will be the same size combo as on the Discount Tire FJ. The wheels look great and the tires look to be a great "in-between" for those wanting some more aggressive than the typical AT and less aggressive than the typical MT tire.

    photo12_7ffda91c8e4cf597544b5be2c037ef843245a393.jpg

    Tread compared to my old Nitto Terra Grappler LT285/70R17E tires. The St Maxx are much more aggressive. The height of the Coopers will settle down once I lower the pressure and get the FJ's weight on them.

    I am interested to hear how the coopers perform. I almost pulled the trigger on them but they were new and didn't really have any decent reviews so I stuck with my Falken Rocky Mountains.

    Looks great!

    Any chance you could post a closer picture of the 35mm caps? I would really like to see them close to get an idea of the difference to the regular ones.
    Thanks.
