Sorry; Ldub, but me NO likey. If it ain't chrome; I'm going home. I like bling, not blah. Find another wheel and inquire again.

Dub I hate chrome and actually dig those. I love the flat black and the little flashy of chrome. Hence why I went flat black with mine.. Those would look sweater of the center caps came to a point/spike.. Not so much to pertrude out but just enough to say "LOOK OUT"

I kinda 'old school'. I like more rubber & less metal. Wouldn't the 16" rim look better & be more protected?

[Ldub]

You sir, are a disappointment to me...I fully expected a sermon on the evils of heavy wheels, tires & unsprung weight. With a sub sermon on acceleration & braking distance...sheesh, ya think you know someone...

The wheel in the pic is an 8 holer, so the C-cap prolly isn't that big, but yeah spikes would be good...

Well, to tell the truth, I'm trying to strike a balance...

I have 33's on my stock 16's, & there is too much sidewall for spirited street cornering.
I have 33's on my 20's, & they corner great, even with knobbies, but don't have enough sidewall for aggressive offroading.
Soooo, 35's on 18's seems good middle of the road choice to me...that & I'm tired of maintaining polished aluminium, & I'm not a fan of too much bling, or the associated pitting & bubbling that evenyually comes with it.
Also, bad trail dings could be touched up with a bit of bondo, some sanding, & bed liner...

I like 'em!!!! Those would be great for froadin and saving the OE wheels

Boss man's pickin up what I'm puttin down......

Besides, It's still in the "thinkin' about it stage"...keep the opinions coming...

[handeeman]

I think Suzy would look "Bitchin" with that new set of Froadin shoes. It's you "thinkin" that concerns me !

[Jay Dunford]

I likes 'em! You may need a bigger BFH to fit 35's though. I'm hoping to stuff some new MT/R's of the 35 persuasion on the FJ this fall too. We can be the big rubber crew next year.

I'm a ponderin' on a couple inches of body lift...

Can't wait to see the FJ rollin' on 3-5's!

Big rubber crew...snicker...

See, you were originally planning on changing to 18" rims anyway with 35" O.D. tires. It's just that the narrower 11.50" width (aka 285 series) will fit much better (and look much better) within the smaller VX wheel-wells. Leave the large 12.50" width to the larger full size 4x4 pick-up trucks, for which they were designed.

Consequently, go with a LT285/75R18 (aka 35" x 11.50R18). If you want an "A/T" tread, you're choice is simple. If you want an "M/T" tread, you've a few picks.
