Best tire size for FJ45?

[Flyplanes5]

Any advice on tire size for a stock FJ45 with 15" wheels?

Thanks!

15"??? Is that stock.

Put your truck info in your sig line so people know what you have .
My '78 Canadian spec came with 16" and I just got new tires, 235/85/16.
I have a 2" lift and they work fine, with no rubbing.

I ran 33x10.5 on mine with no issues I did have a 2 " lift.

I meant stock as in no lift. My truck is from Guatemala so not sure if 15" were standard or not. Thanks for the input.

Does that give your truck the stock look? I currently have 265/70-15 and the tires just look odd on a stock truck. Too wide.

That's pretty much the same size tire as stock tires on US-spec Land Cruisers with 15" wheels (H78X15).

225/75R15 is even closer to the stock H78X15:

Ok. Cooker Tire makes an antique looking H78x15. Thinking of going with those.

The 225s were stock on my FJ62. When I replaced them I went with 235s because I could only find passenger rated tires no light truck tires. I wanted LT tires. What I replaced was 33X9.5X15s which didn't do well on the steep grades I was driving. The 33s are currently on my FJ45 but it rarely gets used and no steep grades when it does get used. They fit without a lift but will go to something shorter when I replaced them.
