Hey all,
I was reading these threads in my search for a set of new wheels. I ended up looking for second hand FJ, GU patrol and 150 series Prado wheels. I got a decent deal on five FJ Cruiser rims with the OE tyres so i put em on today.
So the stock FJ wheels are 17x7.5 inch, with an offset of 15. The FJ tyres are 265/70/17. This is compared to the SR OE wheels with 17x7.5, et30 and 265/65/17 tyres.
Some of the specs are attached, calculated from wheel-size.com. (very handy resource). Total diameter is 803mm, 31.6 inches.
My SR is almost new with 2000km. Its got stock suspension with a front bar and winch.
Firstly, the FJ rims fit fine. They look great, some photos to come. They do scrub in normal driving when turning. Im guessing its the mud guard area behind the front wheels. So there is some work to be done there.
The offset is different which changes the scrub radius. The internet tells me that it should exhibit greater steering force, tramlining and bump steer. There was no noticeable change around town and highways. So the 14mm change in scrub radius doesnt seem to make a difference.
Anyhow thats after about 100km of driving. I'll get medieval with my mudguards to fix the scrubbing and maybe a wheel alignment and extra castor.
Hope that's of use to someone.
