Hi, I need some help in identifying what size rim and tire size is on one of the well know Cool Cruisers web site FJ40 photos. I want to duplicate the same if possible but with a bit taller of a tire if possible.
I hope Cool Cruisers does not mind as I borrowed a photo of the FJ40 as reference.
I am not an expert on tires and rim sizes so I am asking for some help on this.
Would a 16x7 rim be a good start or ? What is the tallest I could go without screwing up the speedometer and others items.
I like the taller and thinner tire for around town. We have a set of 267-75R16 on the 40 now that will be set aside for the off road times.
Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

The 40 in that pic appears to be sitting on a set of BF Goodrich 33X9.5R15 AT tires.

There are only 3 tires that I can think of that are taller while remaining narrow; all 3 are made by Interco and are serious mud tires:

34X9.5-15/16LT Super Swamper TSL.

34X10.5-15/16LT Super Swamper LTB.

Q78-15/16LT Super Swamper TSL (this is like a 35X9.5 inch tire.)

All 3 of these tires are bias-ply, BTW.

Regards,

Alan
 
Big thanks for the info. I have four stock 15x6 steel wheels. 225x85R 16s are also what I was considering they are a bit taller and require a 16 rim.

Thanks much for the info.
