My new 33s

33x12.50 R17 on 07 FJ wheels.

Minimal rubbing with a 1.5" spacer lift - just touches the front inner fender pinch weld, the rear mud flaps, and the frame in the rear. The rubbing I had at full flex was minimal enough that I could just leave everything alone and be fine. I will weld on some 1/4" bump stop spacers though just to make sure.. Dont want to have to start hammering anything - bent sheet metal = rust.

That looks way awesome! But to be honest, those tires look closer to 10.50 wide and not 12.50s. It might be the camera angle though.

Might be the width of the wheels themselves also. I'm not sure what the wheel width on those are.
Looks nice, but he's not going to be playing in 'da rocks

Also.. you said you have 1.5" bj spacers up front.. do you have any lift in the back?

I'm not usually a fan of bigger than 15" rims but I'd say you pulled it off. Looks great man.

They almost look taller than 33" to me...

Are yo going to do a front diff drop, the cv angle looks to kind of bad. Otherwise your 4runner looks awesome.

no, not yet, but it will only be like that for another 3 weeks until school gets out and then I'll get it done, thank god I'm getting so sick of the way itlooks right now, but the 33's should help.
