Any pics of FJ55's with 17" wheels?

[TuffMudder]

I'm doing a SOA on my FJ55 and upgrading to 35-37" wheels and I'm considering going with a 17" rim as well. I'm looking for pics of a sprung over pig with 17's to see how it looks.

Anyone care to oblige?

Thanks
Rodney

Mel, how thick are the spacers behind those FJ Cruiser wheels? I ran some of those on my FJ40 and used 1.5" thick ones.

Here's a pic of my pig with some 17's and 33" tires. The plan is to run 35's.

That's my buddy's BJ70 with a 14BT engine.

Nice.

If memory serves, the FJC steelies were ~4.75" compared to ~4.375" alloys, but probably need spacers with either.

The steelies benefit greatly from stiffeners, like what Hardline Fab (Toy Outfitters, or NCFJ on Mud) offers. Have a buddy that wheels his uber FJC harder than anyone I've ever seen and he can't destroy the stiffened steelies.

The alloys are tough, yet light, and the verbiage regarding the manufacturing process mirrors that of the 80 alloys, yet some claim the LC wheels have a magical aspect....think 'cause they hate FJCs.

If one appreciates the looks of the older FJC alloy wheels, they can be bought for next to nothing.

Tucker, yes I will be SOA
Dave, that's a great looking pig. What paint color did you use?

Sprung over on Chevy axles. 1 1/2" body lift with an unknown amount of spring/shackle/perch drop. I was thinking about measuring it tomorrow vs my stock 55 just for curiosities sake.

Hopefully this works from my phone. SO with 17's and 37's.

Soa 37's

A whole lot of good looking wagons.

I'm enjoying every one!

 

[TuffMudder]

Wow, these are some great pics. I'm leaning towards 17's and 37's at the moment though I still have t ruled out 35's

RLMS, what color red is that on your pig? Looks great
