I have the OME lift. The only differance that may be between the shop you are referring to and the tires I have on is the 2.5" spidertrax spacers I've got. The 33/12.5's don't clear the control arms with the offset that the stock rims have. I had to put spacers on to make them fit...

i hear it ate a jeep before the show...

I have the MTZ's on right now in a 33/12.5/17 configuration, with just the stock rims. No way they would have fit without spacers. I checked the width when I ordered them and the inside of the tire hits the control arm by about a half inch. New spacers= no more rub = wider stance = happier...

I don't think that 10" rims would clear the calipers would they? I was told by Mickey Thompson wheels that theirs wouldn't clear the caliper without spacers even at a 9" width. I went ahead and ordered 2.5" spacers from spidertrax as a result. still have yet to get the rims though. If 10"...

check out this photo of CO_Jeff's rig over at fjcruiserforums.com. You should contact him and ask what he used. They are difficult to see in this pic, but if you look in the member directory, you might find some better ones.

Awesome looking rig~!! Really like the way the bumper fits and looks with the blue FJ. Congrats. You Colorado'ers really seem to know how to build up an FJ! :rolleyes: they look like bent-up sliders to me... or trail-gear.

Thanks for the advice on the compression problem and the body mounts. I am preparing to have them chopped and capped (commitment!). I have seen 35's on a few FJ's and they somehow have managed to make them work. The Goodyear MTR's are being run on a few rigs just at 34" and I like the way they...

Anyone out there who has tried the 35" MTZ's (315's)? Nowhere on ANY of the forums does there seem to be anyone brave (or dum) enough to try the 35/12.5 MTZ's or post any pics of them. I love my 33/12.5's, but would like to fill in the lifted (OME) wheel wells a bit more while still sticking...
