    Hey everyone! Thanks for watching the video! Here are some notes I wish I could go back and add/change:
    - the OEM 5-spoke 16" wheels (non-TRD 16" wheels) are actually 16x7", not 16x7.5 like the TRD wheels
    - Shoot for around -12 mm offset when fitting 305 or 315 tires (12 - 12.5" wide) on aftermarket wheels without wheel spacers to clear the UCA (you will probably still need a BMC though)

    Just in case anyone is interested: I have the 34x10.5x17 BFG KO2s on the stock FJ wheel and 3”-ish lift. BMC needed. I am re-geared which is why I moved to this size in an attempt to save some fuel. MPG did go up 2+ over the previous MTs but the availability and cost of this size is such that I would not do it again. Already looking forward to my new set of tires! Most likely going back to a 285/70/17

    Hey dude, another awesome video. Your info is on point! As an off-road driving instructor and member of the I4WDTA, people are always asking me to help explain tire sizes and gear ratios… etc. I often refer them to your channel. Now from one “expert” to another, I need some of your wisdom. I’m about to re-do suspension and tires on my FJC. As of now, I don’t plan on doing a re gear (maybe). I’m planning on the obligatory 285/70R17, either in the BFG KM3 or a Firestone Destination MT2 as I can get a decent deal on either of these. I like the idea of the 255/85R17 like you’ve done but alas, the two aforementioned tire companies don’t offer that size ( that I’ve seen). I currently run 295/70R17 on my taco and it’s re-geared to 4.56:1. It also has about 800+ extra pounds on it. With this gear ratio I’m close to original shift points and crawl / highway speeds relative to RPM. To the point… do you think I can get away with 295/70R17 on my FJC with out a re-gear? I don’t plan on going crazy with accessories or a big overland build. I know It’ll feel a little less peppy and braking distance will increase, CVs will be more vulnerable… etc. Thanks for your time. I know it’s a ton of work producing those amazing videos. That’s why I don’t do it. I’m just too lazy. Oh yeah, I suppose I could just swap out my taco wheels/tires on my FJC for a week and get some data but again, I’m lazy.

    • @FJX2000_Productions
      @FJX2000_Productions  Před 2 lety +3

      Thanks a ton! Yeah as I mention in this video lots of folks love the 295s on their FJs and most people don’t regear until you get to 35s, so I would recommend just sticking with factory gearing with the 33s! Swapping tires sounds like a fun idea though 👌

    • @scootypuffjr.
      @scootypuffjr. Před rokem

      Did you end up with the MT2's? I have a set on my 2500HD in 295/70-17 and they currently have 64k miles on them. The snow is flying here in Iowa and they still have enough tread to use safely. I'm thinking of using the this same size MT2 on my newly (today!) purchased FJ.

  • @Mish3ab999
    @Mish3ab999 Před 2 lety +2

    Would you consider creating content on Load Range or Load index choices for tires on the FJ? For example:
    I currently have stock wheels and stock tire size BFG KO2 in Load Range E (265/70/R17). There is limited AT and MT tire availability in my country.
    Currently I have access to KO2s in 285/65R17s but in Load Range C.
    Here in the West Coast of Saudi Arabia we overland through lava fields with lots of sharp rocks. Hence the preference for thicker side walls.
    My alternatives are to stay with the stock size for the higher load ranges, but with different AT manufacturers like Cooper, Hankook, Nexen or Kenda.
    Thanks for all the great content.

    running 285/ 75/ r16 cooper discovery sst pro mud tires, on the Toyota stock rims. They actually fit on my 2010 FJ without a lift or body chop. I later had the FJ lifted 3 inches. They are a 33.5 inch tire new.

    • @cenccenc946
      @cenccenc946 Před 2 lety +1

      oh, one more thing: gas milage. If you are going to be overlanding mostly, more than a 33 is going to kill your gas mileage/ km. so as cool as bigger tires are, they do not add that much more capability relative to range. I overland in the Patagonia mostly, and gas stations can sometimes be a long way in between (if they have gas).

    @Time-Trvlr Před 2 lety +3

    My choice for tire is LT235/80R 17. This tire on the stock rim maintains the speedometer accuracy and, due to its narrow width gives me 1 to 2 gain on the mpg. I have traversed many rock crawling trails with no impairment.

    I think 275/80R17 also pretty good choice for 34" tire size, but it's extremely rare, "Goodyear Wrangler MT/R" and "Milestar Patagonia XT" available 275/80R17 size
    As for the 35" pizza cutter (narrow) tires, I like the "Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT" 255/85R17 (the current tire you're running), and the "Kenda KR601 RT" 35x10.50R17

    I'm running 37s with a 5 1/2" lift, 4.88 regeared and speedometer calibration. I get a little bit rubbing when off camber. I think a body lift would help with this. As it stands, my gal cusses me every time she has to get into my FJ so lifting the body another inch would really set her off.

I'm supper happy with these wheels. I still think I'm going to regear to 4:56 because I use this as my daily to work which is 55miles one way. I've definitely noticed alot more down shifting on the hills and don't want to beat my transmission up.

    I’m looking at going with some white wheels to create that old FJ LC vibe
    My question is regarding a 17x9 -38mm 3.5” BS vs 17x8.5 -10mm 4.3” BS
    My favorite is the Blaze10 from SCS but only comes in the -38mm option then they have the F5 in the -10mm option
    Since the wheel width and backspacing is different, I’m having a hard time figuring out the poke between these two options. I can’t find any examples of what the -38mm offset with 3.5” of BS looks like, I don’t want them to stick too far out
    I’m probably doing a 2.5-3” lift. Leaning towards the toytec ultimate with SPC UCAs

I don’t off road or tow. What would you get if you were me?? I’ve considered 285/70r17 in a P-metric like Cooper Disc at34s and Falken WP at3w. Also the BFG ko2 in a C load range.

      Hey there! I mostly know off-road tires so honestly for your purposes I wouldn’t get an off-road tire, and maybe just a good all season tire. The more tame your tire the smoother the ride will be. And 285s May work as I talk about in the video but if you want you could even just get like a 275 or something. But yeah, thanks for watching and good luck!

    Hi - bought a used 2007 low milage FJ. It has a 3 inch lift, Falken Wildpeaks 285/70/17 on Pro Comp Prodigy 17/9/-6 wheels. I replaced the aftermarket UCAs with Light Racing SPCs. All 5 of the Prodigy wheels are peeling paint and I need a replacement. I really liked the look of the Prodigy’s wheel width with the Wild Peaks but need to move on - paint peeling is a common problem with them. I’ve tried TRD Rims in the past and they look ok but the +5mm offset and 7.5 inch with make the FJ look benign. I don’t believe 17" TRD Rims come any wider with offset less than +5. Is this correct?
    Is there an off-road wheel similar to the prodigy's dimensions that you could recommend - something that can accommodate the TRD wheel cap would be a plus. Would adding Spidertrax spacers to a set of TRD wheels be a viable option? Excellent site - really appreciate your help!

Coz I like these wheels but concerned if i have the 285's installed on them that they may rub? Because of the +5 offset? Hope you can help me , thanks anf more power to your channel!

    When adjusting caster to avoid the body mounts, how does that compare to oem/ stock settings, and how does that work in conjunction with a lift?

    Hey! Setting the caster that far forward can pretty drastically change steering performance. Be careful with that one, I would much rather start with the body mount chop and only address caster if absolutely necessary. Alignment shouldn’t really be used as a tool to correct tire fitment.

      Also 2100RPM or 2400 RPM in 6th is negligible for fuel economy and if you are lugging at 2100RPM you are using more fuel than 85% load at 2400. The only fuel saving you can do in the FJ is to drive slower and reduce your air resistance - which will also lower your RPM.
