17" steelies w/ dog dish caps

[Gappy]

I am currently running perfectly good 17" BFG KM2's on Allied beadlocks. I want to go with the classic fj40 gray steelies with the dog dish caps but I'm struggling to find this in 17" and being able to mount the dog dish caps.
Is anybody running 17" that is remotely close to this pic? I am trying to avoid having to buy new 15" tires.

There are two main options for stock rims, purchase the 15" OEM rims or 16" rims by city racer/ 16" rims by FJ company:

The other option if you need to go 17" is more of a custom route. some people have purchased smoothie rims from wheels vintiques, then purchased the clips and welded/ bolted them on. Just a warning, the clips are expensive.

FJ40 16" wheels

I had a question about some new wheels I just mounted so I figured I would pass along some specifics in case anyone else was interested. I was in need of new tires and didn't like my options for 15" x 5.5" stock wheels. After looking around a bit, 235/85-16's on a 7" wide rim, seems like a...

There is the "Analog HD" wheel by Fifteen52, that fits the look and is 17", BUT would require some clever solution for the caps.

Just thinking out loud lol

edit: There is also a company in japan called Flex that makes aluminum versions with caps...not sure on sizes or specifics though...

Thank you for the feedback!
So it looks like if I want it I'm gunna have to pony up.
I could just look at it like I will have 2 sets of wheel and tires, street and crawling.

I mounted 17” FJ Cruiser steelies but no caps as of yet. Tires are 285/70r17 BFG AT KO2.

If you can find a 17" that accepts smoothie type caps you can mod something up like this.

This is a continuation of the 76 SIver back Project, just passing of a torch. I hope i can give this as much love as Steve has during this build thread. I purchased this truck last year about 90% complete and want to document the rest of its journey to completion and beyond. Documenting and...

Recently purchased 16 inch grey steelies from City Racer, will be installed tomorrow. They are expensive just as the FJ company wheels are. I didn’t see purchasing used 15 inch steelies and having them powder coated as the local PC shops wanted 150 per wheel. CCOT sells PC 15 inch steelies for around $900.
I look forward to seeing your decision.

Will you do a center cap?

Will you do a center cap?

Yes. Purchased from Cruiser Corp. Free shipping over $100. The big brown truck will be delivering them next Tuesday

 

[Gappy]

Are they the classic center cap?
Will you modify to fit the 16" wheel?

I'm assuming you had to run spacers? Any more photos of your setup you can share?

I did add 1” spacers to allow full right steering free of rubbing.

Decided to go with a different size tire than was ready to be put on tomorrow. Sometime next week I’ll post a photo

Thank you.
I've Cerakoted the hubcaps to tone them down a bit.

The wheels are 17"X7" with a 3.5 backspace.
More info in my build thread with part numbers.
