Re: will 285/70-17 tires fit?

No problems, no regrets. Only two minor complaints, the BFG's are much heavier than the stock Dunlops so MPG is way down. Also, in heavy rain the tires hydroplane easily.
I have BFG AT's on my 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4x4 Sport and they are great on wet roads and heavy rain. Way better than the Goodyear's that came with it. They were also excellent this winter in the snow. That is why I was considering them for my new FJ.

How bad is the mileage with the 285's compared to the stock tires. I am not expecting great mileage but I don't want to be stopping every 5 mintes to fill up either?

Have you seen the pictures from Fusion Cruiser on the other forum (the link is included in a previous response on this thread)? He says that he has no rubs at all with his tires on his stock FJ. I wonder what the difference is. Are his 33' GY Wrangler's smaller than the 285 BFG AT's?

Thanks for your input
