Then your turning radius will suffer. FJC wheels are over 4 1/2" of BS. Stock wheels are 3 1/2" BS. You might miss the TRE's with the 17" diam., but your tires will hit your springs before the stops hit. Especially with TSL tires, the knobs stick out even more and can hang up on leaves. I have been there with Tundra wheels, 16" diam. but same BS'ing.

I have some 1" spacers but would rather buy an aftermarket 17" black wheel. I did not know they were 4.5" BS.
Actually, that would look nice. Photos, anyone?
Not to misdirect this thread but id like to see pics of any rim in 17" on a fj40 not just the fjcs. ? anyone?
sorry motoloco hope you dont mind? Its just that ive been looking to replace the 35" knobbys with something a little bigger and not to many manufacturers make tires in 15" rims over 35" . Walker evans web site has nice 17" wheels but kinda spendy.

I REALLY like those Mojavi teflon rims, not sure about the white raised print though. They are black and aluminum, best of both worlds.
Stock Tacoma wheels need 2" spacers to move the tier back out with. I have a trail set of Swampers that are 37X15.5 on stock 16" wheels and needed the spacers to get it to stock width.
I like both white out and black out. To each his own. Sometimes the white lettering looks great with the rigs color. If the rig is black, maybe not, but a white rig would work.

Yeah, I forgot to tell them to put the white lettering to the inside and don't feel like flipping them.
I guess I've got all the time in the world to do that.
I still think they look pretty bad ass.

They aren't steelies but here are 17" Racelines on my 40.
Not trying to hijack the thread so forgive me. Those Mojave Teflons look awesome... If I ran those with 33x12.5 would I still hit the springs? I can't run spacers here in NJ... they are illegal so my rim choice needs to be exact.

Nice looking rig, Isotel !! Do like the wheels as well.
The teflons won't last long on even a minor off road venture...I have 15" black AR767s I think they are, and the rim edge is beat to all crap from rocks...but all the marks come out with some persuasion...
I'd love to find some 16 or 17 inch steel wheels...they do look good in the pics posted...

Alumacruiser has 17's (not FJC):

So the question is, do you rub the leaves? Did you have to put on longer steering stops? Did it ruin your turning radius?
EDIT: I need to read more carefully. Can you answer the last 2 questions?
