Do a quick search. TONS of info on this.
Quick answer. They will work, but you will want to run spacers (1" minimum) since they will bring your track width in a bit. BTW, the fj cruiser wheels are 17", not 18. At least all the ones I have seen.
I bought mine from a toyota mechanic and they already had em on it... they run fine for me but i dont know if the spacers have been put in or not

My mistake, I had intended to type 17", thanks for the correction.
How is the clearance when getting tucked in?
There are many styles out there and posted on this forum. I have the late version and I painted them black. I also used 1 1/2" spacers to flush out with the flares.
The wheels just tuck inside the wheel well and I have minor rubbing on full flex. I think if I could change spacers, I would go with 1 1/4" but I am not too concerned about it. In the picture below, I have pretty good stuff on the front and I did not rub.

I have the 16" FJ's wheels and the look awesome even without the center caps. They are a bit narrower than the OEM on the 80 (About 0.5") but they work for me since I'm not planing to get tires bigger than 33" (not sure if the width of the rim will affect on bigger tires)
Get them, you will love them
By the way, in my case I didn't put spacer because I like to look of a narrower tire

Before and after wheel spacers (1.5") with the steel FJ wheels.
Anyone running the optional 16" TRD FJC wheels on their 80?

My OEM wheels are getting tired and I may use them for winter only, where are you guys sourcng the wheels? and if you use a spacer do you have to replace the wheel studs with longer ones? excuse the newby question!!!

Wheel spacers bolt on to your existing wheel studs. The spacers will have the studs to bolt your wheels on to.
I found my wheels on Ebay. If you use 1-1/4" or larger spacers, you will be fine, anything smaller will require grinding the wheel studs. You will not need to replace with longer ones. HTH
Thanks! They do get a lot of rock rash due to the flush spoke design and I have to touch them up after every wheelin' trip, so don't powdercoat them, rattle can for sure.
They are the new Goodyear MTR I believe.
Why would you have to grind the wheel studs with a standard 1" spacer?
