You heard right. The FJ's are shipped from Japan with 13" wheels with 205/55 tires mounted on them. To attract the US market, the US dealers swap out the tire/wheel combo to attract the soccer moms and mall cruisers toward the FJ. Otherwise, only the "drifters" would like the FJ and it would compete too much with the Scion Xb, taking away potential buyers from that market.
You must know how much air one can get hitting a mall speed bump at more than the 15mph posted speed. That is why the FJ's are having all the crumple zone failures, from ripping into the Gallaria speed bumps too fast, catching the 14.5 inches of air you know so well. Last time I dropped mine off at the Nordstrom valet, he scraped my spinner on the step he used to help me out of the FJ, you know how tall it is and how tough it is to get out without having to hike my skirt up to far, don't want to show my panties you know...

ok here it is in a differant way..
if you fly off a hill and land on the front wheels, the larger tires will go up into the fenders and hit the fenders and bow them out and pull the door hinges, so now your doors will not open.....hope that is better
larger rubber suspention stops will stop this

Actually if you want to make your FJ fly and land on the front end, I would recommend the optional wing and pontoon package. This eliminates the needs for wheels and tires at all. (only available with the TRD)
