I Need To Know What's The Largest Tire I Can Use In My Fj Without Lifting , Mine Is A 4x4 A/t.
I Don,t Want To Touch The Suspension, Just Need A More Agressive Look With Wider Tires But Don,t Want The Front Tires To Rub Inside The Fenders When Steering.
Please Help, I Have The Money But Don,t Want To Buy Somethig That Won,t Fit....
Thanks

It would appear from the various reports to date that you can get by with 285/70/17's without having any major problems. Anything larger and you're probably asking for trouble.

This issue is killing me. Some people say they have rubbing, some say they don't rub. Then, some say it's good on the street - but what about off road? I think I'll wear out a new set of 265 Goodyear MTs. By that time, a few people should have perfected a good 3" lift and I can go up to 285s.
