Drove the pig through Zion National Park today with the wife. Majestic scenery!

You go through the tunnel?
Yep!
Drove the Zion Canyon scenic route from entrance then through tunnel and to the far exit. Stopped a couple places like at Checkerboard Mesa then drove the other spur road to the end past the Emerald Pool trail. The winter is the best time to go through the park since you can actually drive the roads and there are no crowds.
 
Not sure if you’ve posted about your new wheels? Looks great! 😎
FJ Co replica wheels from the 30% off sale. New 16” Falken Wild Peak tires too. The 15” wheels and tires I had were too tight on the disc brake conversion I did. Kept knocking the balance weights off and the tie rod was rubbing just a tiny bit on both aides. I like them. They only come in that grey color though.
 
they likely will not fit on stock 55 axles?
Why?

 
Jon texted me that I needed to update work on my pig. Still plugging away at it, along with working on my 45 and 40.
Recent pig work: dropped the 30 gallon tank, thoroughly cleaned, por15 outside and skid plate, modified the tank for an in-tank fuel pump/sending unit and reinstalled with homemade straps, new fuel filter/pressure regulator and fixed the sway bar while there; complete tune up of the 5.3LS; installed new front bumper/winch and rear swing out carrier; fixed pitman arm so that it no longer hits the tie rod; went through rear window and installed new tailgate seals and window seals - window rolls up nicely now; fixed a bunch of PO wiring issues. The pig runs great now.
Work on the horizon is to go through the front axle, put in a PS box and tie rods from a 60 like @Ol Yeller has done, get rid of those wheels for some old school crusty wagon wheels, get rid of the 4L60E and put in the NV4500 that I have sitting in my shop. Maybe park it and start that work this summer.

So what are the wheel dimensions (including backspacing) and what is the tire size?
Greenbeast clip is correct. The aluminum wheels are super high quality. Don’t buy the hubcaps from them as you can buy them cheaper from Toyota. The only down side is the 6” width limits your tire choices and places like Discount Tire won’t mount them. They should have made them at least 6.6” wide.
 
Love this setup/stance. So based on this, they likely will not fit on stock 55 axles?
Yes they fit on my stock 1969 FJ55 axles.
