35's on a FJ62? (1 Viewer)

[Hank Smith]

I currently am running 33x10.5 BFG AT's on a 2.5" OME lift on an FJ62. I have been looking at bigger tires and I was wondering if you can fit 35" BFG's on a 2.5" lift or if I would need to upgrade to a 4" lift for them to fit?

Don’t think so, will rub.

35s will rub up front on the mud flap when turning with a standard ome lift. You’d need AAL, extended shackles or reverse shackle, or custom lift springs up front. If you plan to wheel it, it will rub for sure with a standard lift and not recommended.

Auto trans will be a slug and a trans cooler is necessary.

35’s, SuA and no rub. Flexed well too. Took some work to get there.

Cheers

Yeah, what they said. Stick with the 33's and post up some pics of your ride. Welcome.

Thanks for the help

I’ve always wondered if the extra two inches will get me further down the trail or further into trouble. I’ve errored on the latter

I suppose I should take my own advise and post pics.
Here is a pic of my 60 when we test fitted 35's with an OME lift.
There was rubbing with flat driving let alone off road work.

As SNLC said though it can be done if you're in love with the idea.

And say goodbye to anything resembling a safe braking distance

I'm running 34s think it's good compromise im rubbing cause. My wheels are really aggressive offset but with normal wheels should be good.

I had a set of 35" MT's for my trail rig back in 2004, and one day just for fun I put them on my FJ62 with OME suspension. Looked pretty cool, but it was rub-o-licious every time I hit a bump. I didn't think it was possible to make that truck any slower, but that was one way to do it (stock gearing). The A440 let me know pretty quickly that it wasn't happy and wasn't gonna put up with that for very long.

@lonelydriver Are they 34x11.5's? What size rim? what backspace are you running. With 3.5 you don't think they will rub? Even when flexed?

I have 17x9 with 3.5 Bs and its too aggressive.

285 75 17

this setup rubs on my ome lift will likely extend bump stops or body lift 1"

I agree with you, that's too much but I like those wheels. Care to share?

A 2" body lift on top of the 2.5" suspension lift would allow them to fit.

Stealth custom series f5 , they also sell these in 16x8 3.5 Bs, those might be the ticket...

Here's another poke shot

I did 295 70 17's. (33x11) on 7.5" wide Taco rims. Needed 1.25" spacers. Getting some rubbing on the lower front fender when stuffed in and turning.

I wanted 35s, so I took the economical route and stuffed a locked FJ80 frame under there instead

 

[MoaByte]

That's they way it shoulda looked from the factory. 235's??? That looked so funny.

I did fit the 34" x 10.5 BFG KO2s with the heavy duty 2.5" OME lift on my original chassis with no rub or spacers... though admittedly, the KO2s run a little small (33.5" or so)
