80 Series Newbie Needs Wheels and Tires...

I can't say for sure as I haven't tried it, but I am pretty sure the 15 in wheel on your 96 won't clear the brake calipers if I remember reading correctly.

I just picked up a set of 91 wheels and tires thinking they would fit on my 96 but apparently not. Can anyone confirm this for as well

I beleive the larger Disc rotors from 93-97 is the reason they may not fit

That is where I’m seeing the problem too. Thanks for your feedback.

Looks like someone beat me to it.

Yeah that is correct they won’t fit, unless you get spacers which I wouldn’t recommend. FJZ80 93-97 16” rims will fit on 91-92 FJ80s, but 91-92 FJ80 OEM 15” rims will not fit on 93-97 FJZ80s.

Agreeing with the general views that many have said here.

Staying with the OEM 16x8xET0 wheels has you covered - no reason at all to change - if you have no plans for large tires beyond LT285/75/16.
The OEM wheels are high quality units, and there seem to be many 16" choices available in sizes 285 & smaller.

BUT...if you move to bigger tires LT315 / 35 / 37 - Then the choices available in 16" are very limited now, and from now onward...
There are more choices available in LT315/70R17 - so large tires are the motivation to upgrade wheels to 17".

Any idea if they will fit a fj62?

I would expect them to fit.
