First post here, though I’ve been a lurker for years. I have an 87 FJ60 that’s mostly stock except for an OME lift kit with shocks, leaf springs, and steering stabilizer.
Finally replacing the tires that were on it when I bought it - original KO’s 31.5x10.5x15 on some not stock steel wheels and 1.5” spacers.
So I’ve already been through the challenge of finding wheeels that fit without spacers. Settled on the TRD Pro matte black wheels 17x7.
So now it’s tire size time. I’m thinking of staying similar to what I have now with a 265/70/17 BFG KO2 (listed as 31.6) mostly thinking about driving up the passes here on the highway like Snoqualmie pass from Seattle. But also wondering about something like 34x10.5x17 KO2’s (33.5” listed) -just worried about hills. Another option I considered is a 255/75/17 (32” listed)
The 265 and 255 options are listed as about 46lbs while the 34 option is 58lbs. Plus the TRD Pro wheels are around 27lbs.
Any advice or thoughts very welcome.
And yes I’ve searched and looked around but am not finding much about the size with stock 2F and stock 4spd transmission/gearing and highway hills. Thanks!
