Here is mine on FJ steelies with 255/75/17 bfg muds. This is before the lift. The only rub I would get was coming into a driveway every once in a while. Im thinking of swapping to different FJ wheels with 285s now that I have SS lift.

Im debating whether to go 285 or 255. But if I go 285 I'll need to buy some sort of spacer. Plus the GY silent armors are half the price in the 255...decisions, decisions...

I have been able to find a bunch of very low miles bfg mud takeoffs from jeep rubicons for cheap. There are other jeep tires 255/75/17 that you can get as takeoffs pretty cheap.

Here's my 99 with 2010 4runner wheels if anyone wants to use it as reference??!! No spacer, no problem. I just put brand new 275/70/17 BFG AT's on it a couple days ago, I'll try to take some pics soon!! The tires in this pic are my old worn down 265/70/17's. The 275's are AWESOME, but it did make the truck a little less peppy cause of the gearing. But, for those of you guys that are not big enough for 285's, the 275's are a very good substitute.
285/70/17 = 32.8"
275/70/17 = 32.2"
Stock 265/70/16 = 30.7"
Rock on!!

Thanks Justin! I'm definitley gonna go with the 255's. I just gotta wait for my tax returns to get back! I got great life outta my BFG all terrains so its been a while since I've had to buy tires... I'll def post up some pics as soon as I can. Where did you get that deal on those tires? The price difference is crazy between the 255s and the 285s...

I dont have any back spacing numbers, and I'm no expert but, there are guys running these off of the 2009 FJs so I would guess that the TRD wheels would work also. I think they are 16s instead of 17s though.
I would think with 255s would be ok, but from what Ive read on here, the 285s would need spacers.

I have a chance to buy THESE wheels for a really good price and need to know if they'll fit a 3rd gen with 255/85's or 285/75's with no spacers

FJ wheels and 4runner wheels are all going to be either 15 or 30 mm back spacing which is about a .35" difference so not much. Most of the stock wheel specs are available on the TRD site.
