Fj cruiser wheels

http://easttexas.craigslist.org/pts/3642050478.html

I really like these wheels. I know I'll have to get different tires to fit them on my 3rd gen and I still have 70-80% tread on my 265/75/16. Thinking about it though. Opinion? Problems I might run into?

I'd get em if I were near Naco. I've been trying to find some of that style or even FJ steelies in 17".

I don't wanna pay 500 though. What's the difference in back spacing from a stock 3rd gen Wheel

I see those wheels for 250-300 a set quite often in the bay area, but I'd imagine that a lot more people selling them here.

I may be thread-jacking a bit, but does anyone know the width of the FJ wheels? 17x?

I do believe 17x7.5, some come in 16x7.5 though. Tires for a 17 inch wheel get quite a bit more expensive though, personally I wouldn't want to make the move above a 16 inch wheel at this point.

I've had these on my truck for a year now; LOVE them. I highly recommend the Firestone Destination M/Ts, as well. Kinda pricey but an OUTSTANDING tire.

Have a set of summer tires on these 17" alloys:

If you take your time & watch on eBay/craigslist, you can find someone who has upgraded their factory FJ wheels & get a wheel & tire combo for cheaper than ONE WHEEL at retail price. I paid $375 for the FJ alloys & $275 for the Tundra alloys WITH TIRES. Don't get in a hurry~

Rabbit, how wide are they exactly? I'm looking for an 8"-9" wide factory Toy wheel to be exact, diameter 15-17".

I'll have to check, but I think they're 8"
