Does anyone have the American Racing Mojave wheels? Do they fit on FJ62s? How does this Teflon coating hold up?

i don't have them, but I've heard that they are great for mud, but will get scratched in the rocks...So I guess it depends on what you use your rig for (they do look cool though) as far as fitment, you would just have to see if they make it with the appropriate bolt pattern and backspacing.

What is the bolt pattern and back spacing for the FJ62?
6 on 5.5 with 3.75 recommended backspacing. if your going SOA then 2.5 to widen stance abit.

I saw those wheels on Norcal60's rig. He actually sent me the info on them.
Check it out.
Yes, those are the wheels. I just pulled this off the AR website:
3981-5883 15x8 -19 3 3/4 6-5 1/2
This place has a good price or go to an american's tire store near you and ask them to price match. Their prices are negotiable.

I am not running spacers as that is why I went with these. I didn't want to run spacers. I am running 33x12.5 and the tires rubbed the leaf springs at full turn so I adjusted the bump stops. The wheels keep the tires tucked into the wheel wells if you want that. If you are running 33x10.5 then you shouldn't have to worry about adjusting anything

Got any pics with these wheels on a LC ?
I have them on mine- the tie rod clearance is minimal, but it works. Discount Tire said they would match any price even internet- so i picked up 5 for $450! I love the way they look. I ran them on my Jeep Rubicon for 3 years, wheeled them for awhile and they held up good. They are painted so if you scratch them, you can see it- but as far as teflon flaking off- thats unfounded. Here is a pic-
They are balanced with stick on weights. The tire shop told me that there wasnt enough room to balance them perfectly, but there was enough to zero them out. Whatever they did, it was fine. I have no vibes, death wobble, etc.

So the tire rod barely clears the wheel?
the backspacing on these is 3.75". There is about .5" gap from the tie rod end to the wheel. I cant imagine it flexing and hitting it, but who knows.
You can always dyna-bead or centramatic balance your wheels too.
That's easy enough to solve with internal balancing. I use little ceramic beads in mine. Works awesome, and you never have to static balance them as long the stuff stays in (which it will unless you unmount the tire).
Here is my cruiser with these wheels, wheeled in Oregon at browns camp with them, rode all the way from oregon to alaska and slogged through mud on my trip to the bus (in the movie into the wild)...
Pretty sweet wheels is my opinion
