what the advantage of having the 17" wheels on the TLC? If I get these bigger wheels do I need to get a lift kit or wheel spacers?

In my case, the tires are ~$70 ea cheaper in 17". The need for lift, spacers, etc, will be determined by tire size.
I know this is an old thread, but when I had 'mud searched and google searched for photos of a 80 series with white FJ cruiser steelies, I never got any results. Surprise right? I really like the look, but recognize it is not for everyone. It has kind of a UN or Safari look. I have an OME medium lift, and my tires are ~33" BFGs, and 1.5" wheel spacers. I also used black wheel-centric lug nuts which pop a little bit. Weird thing is I used the same tires which used to be on my FJ 8 Hole wheels, but with the Steelies, they now look tiny. Would probably look perfect with 35s.
Sure, this is probably the best side angle I have. The wheels I bought did not come with the round metal FJ Cruiser center caps, which I am slowly on the hunt for. With the spacers, they would have zero issue clearing the front hubs.
Is this your truck? What size tires are those? Any spacers on those wheels?

It is.
Cooper STT, 37 x 12.50.
It has 1.25", if I were to do it again, would go 1".
Looks great!!! But way bigger than i want to go. I want to be about 34" tire about 2" lift and stick with stock gears. I will probably just stick with 285/75/16 but would like just a little bigger.

Are you running any spacers with those wheels? If so, what size?

I used 1.5 spacers with FJC rims, stuffs really nice.
