Just got some Fj80 OE wheels... What should I do???
As the title stated... Picked up a nice set of FJ80 wheels... Now I have no idea what I should do next...
Quick note: I have a 2.5" suspension lift and 2" body lift currently. I tow a boat & trailer that weighs approx. 1800lbs. I'm not re-geared. When I go up an incline, the thing slows down and I have to floor it to get it back to speed...
Here are my options...
1) Slap the 285/75/16 Firestone Destination MT's on the FJ80 wheels and sell the Eagle 102's.
2) Get some 265/75/16 All terrains on the FJ80's and sell the Eagles with the Firestones.
3) Get some 265/70/16 All terrains on the FJ80's, take off the body lift, and sell the Eagles with the Firestones.
4) Try to score some 16" 02 factory stockers with tires for the FJ80's, remove body lift, and sell the Eagles with the Firestones
If I do put the FJ80's on, I want to get it done by Friday... So what do you guys think?

I say take off the body lift and put on 265/75/16's on them. I have ~2" of lift and 265/75/16 on my LX450 wheels and it looks perfect to me; more importantly I did not notice a change in gas mileage or power.

Why does it seem like you want to downsize so much. 265's on those wheels will probably look really skinny, I would stick to 285's no matter what you do...

Seems the majority decision is just slapping these on the 285's.
Josh, I was thinking downsizing because I tow and I am not re-geared... Sure sucks crawling up a hill to go fishing...
Also I drive over 60 miles a day so the smaller size and all terrains would be more ideal...
However i do admit, it would look pretty sick on the MT's... decisions decision decisions!

Thanks again guys... My impatient @** got the wheels mounted on the MT's... However, I don't think it looks so great right now... Probably because the center caps aren't on yet... need to repaint them... It sticks in about an inch more than the Eagles... I guess I just got to get use to it. No pics yet but I'll snap some when I get the caps painted and on.

Am I the only one that likes the look of those eagles? I think they both look very nice, I would opt for some 4.88's to turn that thing into a tow truck!

The LC wheels look 100 x's better IMO! Good job!
Take alook at mine..I have my center caps painted silver with black Toyota symbol painted black.

I like the eagle look also... 
Makes it look truck looking... I can see how the FJ wheels give it a stock clean look though...
Roof looks good bro, I'll look into painting the black part of the cap as well.
