16 x 7.5, the backspacing is 4.5 I believe, can anyone confirm that?
If they have the same backspacing as the 17" FJ alloys, their backspacing is 4.84" (stock on a 3rd gen is 4.625").

Hmm. The FJ wheel is 1/2" wider, tho, I believe, which offsets any less backspacing (which appears to be in debate). Anyway, it looks good. (and I was really glad not to need wheel spacers which I don't like). Thanks for the info

It's true the wheel is .5" wider which offsets the difference in track width, but does not help if you want to run tires larger than 265's.

Been trying to sell mine for awhile now, but I can not ship.
To much of a hassle for me.

Have you seen his 4Runner lately? It's evolved even further:

I just slapped on some 17" FJ Cruiser wheels on my 3rd Gen 4Runner without any problems. No wheel spacers or anything. Can't even tell if there is a .5" difference in the offset. I just needed 17" tires, that's all.

I've been seeing a FJ running around my area with some wheels that look quite different but very cool. The FJ is a canteen color and looks to have a special package on it. The wheels are black, and either have a machined edge on them or what appears to be a lock ring. I swear the center caps say TRD on them in red, but it's hard to tell on the interstate at 70mph.

Anyone know what wheels those might be? I wouldn't mind fining a set for my 4Runner.

Now that I know what I'm looking for I found these that I like even better. These would look great on Project SportRunner:

I've been in the market for both styles, but as Camo mentioned, they're still pretty pricey. I imagine as more people start swapping out the new FJ wheels for aftermarkets, they'll become more available. Lets hope.

Keep in mind their backspacing is larger than stock (4.84" vs. 4.625") so if you want to run anything larger than 265's you'll need wheel spacers. I'm running 285x70r17's with custom 3/4" wheel spacers.
Wow these look awesome on your 4runner. Are they black or a dark gray? I can't tell cause they are dirty lol

The color is Rustoleum "Hammered Finish" Dark Bronze. The color turned out very similar to my 4Runner's factory anthracite color.
