how did you raise her so much??3rd try's the charm.

Holy smokes, thats an old post, the 60 has passed now, but that has a spring over axle lift and high steer arms to clear the leaves in the front.. My buddy in the picture did some welding I think. I went to parabolic leaves in the front and later 16x10 DC-1 wheels and 39.5" iroks.how did you raise her so much??
I believe that the back spacing clearance issues are the tie rod ends for 15 inch wheels. 3.5 inch back spacing is about all you can get away with. As you go with the bigger diameter wheels you have more tie rod clearance and can run more back spacing.
I ran a 16x7 with 4" inch BS on my old cruiser then went to a 16x8 with 4.25" BS, I was running 315/75R16 tires. When it flexed the inside of the tires rubbed the rear wheel wells so I installed 1.25" aluminum bolt on spacers and had no issues.
The cruiser i have now isn't as big. I have 285/70R17 tires on 17x7 4runner OEM wheels they fit without spacers but were too "sucked in" for my taste. I put on 1.5" aluminum spacers to get the look I wanted. View attachment 2615649
Most of the modern style wheels are designed for the newer vehicles the have a lot of back spacing. I do like the 17 inch wheel size do to more tire options and options for brake system upgrades using larger diameter rotors which is really the only way to get better stopping power, or should I say leverage, for larger heavier tires.
I think either of your wheel choices would look great.
Thank you for this write up on these rims. Just like you I was looking into the trd pros but came across a good deal on a rim/tire combo. Will be getting them todayI believe that the back spacing clearance issues are the tie rod ends for 15 inch wheels. 3.5 inch back spacing is about all you can get away with.

Those are cool. I just found a good set of tires but they are needing 16" rim. I have found rims with the same spec (6x139.7) but have -12 offset. Would that also work? I'm not schooled on the offset as it relates to inches...Raceline Rock Crusher 16X8
6X139.7
-20mm offset
3” OME
285/75/16
No spacers, plenty of space

I have the steel one and they fit with a 1.25" spacer or bigger. No big deal in my opinion.I almost posted this in the steel wheel thread, but this is just as good a place as both are not steel. Does anyone know the specifications/differences between these two wheels? Both are 17" and 6 lug, but width , backspacing etc? I was thinking they might be the same?
4runner TRD pro and the FJ cruiser steel. I already know they don't fit without spacers unless you have done other mods.

Stock 60 rear at the moment. 80 rear is on the shortlist once the motor swap is done.@Dubs2017 Hard to tell in pic, but your running the 80 rear axle as well correct?
What is the best source for the FJC 17" wheels these days? I am interested in only the genuine Toyota ones.
Thanks!
Picked up some SCS Gen 5 wheels in gloss bronze over the weekend. 17x8.5 4.30 BS -10 offset. Was originally wanting to order a set of Bradley Vs but the shipping just gets more and more expensive every month from Japan. As of today shipping for 5 wheels from Japan is a solid $650 for the slowest option
Picked up some 1.25 inch wheel spacers just in case, but after reading the thread, the 17 inch wheels dont seem to have the same issues the 15s do. Im really hoping i dont need the spacers. I guess once they get in ill post up if they fit or not. Thinking the tire is going to hit somewhere at very least.
Crap. Well at least I got some spacers just in case. If it’s at full lock I’m wondering if I could get away with just some .5 inch spacers instead of the 1.25s I got.With those measurements I think you're likely to hit the relay rod at or near full lock (without spacers). I tried running 17s with similar backspacing and that's what happened to me. Nice wheels though - really like that JDM look.
