305's with no lift

here's some pictures of my fj with 305/40/22. The tires are Nitto Dune Grappler.

So that works out to a 31.2/12/22. A little bit smaller than a stock tire, but a tad wider. Not what I would buy for mine....looks shiney, though.

Looks good. How do they work off the road? How much can the tires be aired down?

They won't work very well at all off road....way too much rim and not enough tire sidewall. If aired down you will be hitting the rim on just about every rock, root, etc.

You need a different vehicle for those rims and tires..........
And some gold chains, flashy gold teeth ect

sorry I'm not a hard core off roader like yourselves. I just wanted a fun, dependable, strong, head turning, superior performing daily driver. Before I put the rims on I took it off road twice. I think it is better than the hummers around here that I know for sure don't ever touch dirt!

I'm with ya, enjoy your vehicle. I'm offroad a lot and set up to do so, but to each his own. I've got a friend in San Diego who bought a 2WD, no intention of offraoding beyond a dirt parking lot. I tried to talk her into 4wd just for resale, but its her vehicle and its what she wants. And both you and she got great and unique street SUVs. And if ya wanna wheel - you've got the stock rims to put some real tires on!

that wide, air down or not they'll be great in the sand .... looks good different ..but good... had a guy in the shop last week wanting black 20's and low pro for his 60, think it woulda looked cool too

the good thing is that the person buying it used in a few years will know it hasn't been thrashed off-road. so maybe it'll get a higher price...

So vegasgold, how do you like the new shoes? I myself am looking to do the same to my FJ as I have no intension of ever going offroading with it. How's the ride? a lot more stiffer? bumpier? Any modification to the body mount you had to do? How's the turning radius? Sorry for all the questions but just wanted to get a feel of what I'm going to get into. Any input would help.

With the bigger and wider rims/ tires, it feels more sporty and stable. The overall diameter is the same as stock but the width is over 1 1/2" wider. I bought the tires from Discount Tire. Nitto tires are made by Toyo and both are limited in production, so finding these tires may be hard. I too don't plan on going off road much, that is why I mostly went for looks rather than offroad capabilities after all it is a DD. Turning radius and overall ride not sacrificed but when hard turn left or right while backing out of my driveway there is a slight rub on the plastic behind the front wheels, just noise no damage. Good luck with your future purchase and post pictures.

NIce look and probably feels like a sports car cornering.

Would not be my first choice, but props to you for posting it for those that are not into off-road driving.

Hmmm...

Maybe that "look" will grow on me .... still waiting.... nope ;p




Good point about resale value though

Are you from vegas? If so, you should know what is popular around here. Suv's for show not for offroad. I also wanted to stand out from all the fj's popping up around here. I bought mine back on March 24th, it was a head turner back then, now with the rims it still is!
