We had a wrench day here in Dallas today. Good times for guys to get together and work on each others trucks. A local airport let us use a hanger, and said they plan on letting us use it whenever we wanted to do the event agian. Also the J:censor: and truck 4x4 show was here this weekend. think it was sponsored by 4 wheel parts. thanks to the trail team for giving the coolest walk away gift.

anyway, i plan on taking this thread out in a day or so, and just wanted some quick opinions. I saw some cool FJ's at wrench day and gave me some good ideas for tires and maybe rims. The tires need to be replaced. A few of the trucks were running 16", not TRD. Trail Team said the only 16" they knew that would fit were the TRD, something to do with the size of the disc breaks. Pro Comp had a huge set up out there, and from the sounds of it....they wouldn't sell me a 16" rim for my FJ. I know I could read every thread out here and get all the info I need, but the guys I've been talking with are shooting way low on prices. this is the end of thier show, and the idea was to nor bring any tires or wheels back. so they are dropping prices. i want 16" cause i can fit more rubber....but i don't want to do it at the expense of the quality of the truck. Ideas anyone? should i just stick with the 17"s? Also wanted/or was looking at the 305/70/17's. wheel is 17x9. Give me some thoughts boys and girls, throw a dog a bone!

thanks
 
personally i would go with thw 17. dont know if aftermarket 16 wheels work or not but not a whole lot of differance between the two. as far as clearence issue it is the calipers that will rub the wheel. so iff you are getting a real good price do the 17 in.
 
Blues Dawg has 315-75x16 Nitto's on aftermarket rims.

The Offroad Package comes with a 16" Toyota wheel.
 
yeah, keywords are toyota and 16"s. I'm not looking for TRD 16s. just wonder why procomp is so reluctant to sell a 16 for an FJ
 
the offroad wheel is not a trd rim. they are the rims that look the like 93-97 fzj80 wheels. that is what you get when you get an 08 fj with the off road package. i would rum 16's cheaper tires than for 17 inchers
 
Thanks for the input guys, the deal I got today was way to hard to pass up...so I kept my aftermark 17's. Any clue on how to shut this thead down?
 
Enjoy the new tires Chad!
