Working on a 67' fj40 with a stock suspension and stock brake drums all the way around. I currently have 235/85r16 rubbers on it. And some 16in steel wagon wheel rims. I am wondering what rims fit on my cruiser pertaining to the offset numbers. I am leaning towards the American racing outlaw II 16/15in rims, hoping they fit. Also I am wondering how big of a tire i can run on the stock suspension without rubbing or putting too much stress on the drivetrain. Any recommendations will help. Thanks.

You really need to use the search function and spend time reading.
Proper backspacing for stock is 3 1/2". On a bone stock rig I would run longer shakles , 4* caster correction shims on the front springs, and 31/10.50/15 tires. This is just my opinion, but worked for me. The search function really helps on this forum, but I remember being the new guy on MUD and fumbling around. I'm sure you'll get all the info you need and more .

Here’s 30 9.5 R15
I think I took this picture after installing 65swb45’s extra beefy 4” shackles in the front. Still need to tackle the rear.
Guessing I need to add castor shim as Skidplate mentioned.
