Thanks

 

Cool! Do you have a lift or level kit or are you at stock height!

 

all stock. Wheels and tires are the first mod for me. yay!

 

Thanks for the info! Now we need to see some pics!! :rocker:

 

I think you should be fine. I have 285/75/16 which is roughly the same size. Terra grapplers don't have as much rubber as say the Trail Grappler, which is a full mud tire. I run federal mud tires with no rub. Still to be seen if they rub while wheeling.

Thanks for the info! And thanks for doing your research on the subject too! I thought when I first clicked this thread that maybe this was just another thread asking if that size would fit :lol: but obviously not! Now lets see a picture or two :bigthumb:

Do 2013 fj's stock set up higher than previous years stock?
Seams the lift kits don't require anything more than springs and spacers.
285's 70/r17 should work great on 2013 with no rubbing?
Any input on this?

 

The 13s sit the same, but some models are higher than others depending on the factory suspension . The most inexpensive lifts are spacers, but the choice lifts are new front coil overs and rear springs, shocks, and extended brake lines.

You'll be fine with 285/70/17s, except at extremes possibly. The Duratracs are dope

I put Cooper AT's 285/70/16 on my FJ before I had my lift and they rubbed slightly when full Left or Right Turning but it was not enough to really affect tire or handling.

 

I'm doing the same but with the 17's....am hoping with a BMC(but no lift) I don't rub.

 

Anyone know about BFG's 285/70/17 Rugged Terrain T/A's on a Stock 2007. I drive alot of Highway and soft sand jersey beach. Will they rub?

 

No, if stock offset wheels.

 

285/70/17 Fierce Attitudes will fit a completely stock FJ with no rubbing other than bulge on the front mud flaps that needs to be trimmed a bit

 

I get a very slight rub, but not at the usual spot. Mine is only on the right side, only in reverse at full lock backing toward the left side. That is all. But not at the body mount. It is the FRONT black fenderwell at the bottom where it curves under toward the front. And that with 2" on the front. These do have a lot of tread wrap around.

 

So if I am reading this right your getting a very slight rub in rev. but you have a 2" lift on the vehicle. So with NO lift I will probably have a problem with some rubbing.:mecry:

 

Finally I found a post that says they will fit with out a lift kit. I just added bushwacker flares and that gave me about another 2" of clearance.Will be ordering a set+1 this weekend for mine and stage one will be complete.

 

I'm doing an aggressive BMC this weekend and will be putting 285/70 r17 Duratracs on soon so I'll be happy to let you now for sure.

I'm running 285/70/17 duratracs no rub no bmc and it was fine without lift I only have leveling kit on It now. I was worried about the same thing when I got my tires. My advise get the tires from someone like discount tire and be prepared to do a bmc if nessisary. Worst case discount will take them back if they rub that's how I got my spare someone bought a set of mtr and they rubed. Discount took them back then sold one of the newish less than 100 miles tires for 100 bucks installed. Nothin but good things to say about discount.

Simmoco4, thanks for the kind words and your support.

 

I searched a million threads on this and went for it... For the record, Nitto Terra Graplers 285/70/17 on (my) stock 2012 FJ do NOT rub under normal conditions. I have not hit the trails with them yet but i am guessing it will be fine on all but the most extreme angles...

This made me want a lift bad...

The after...

 

^^^Update for anyone who is looking for more information... I installed 1.25" spider trax spacers and had horrible rubbing. Did the BMC last night and all is well...

 

After you did the BMC how much room do you have? Do you have a leveling kit? The truck look a little low in the back is it loaded down in the pictures?. Thanks

 

285/70/17 duratracs will fit a stock fj. You will get some minor rubbing at full lock though. I ran these tires with stock suspension for about 2 months. Just got a 3" pro comp lift and now I've got a totally different rubbing problem. At full driver side lock the tires rub on the oem skid plate and they rub hard! Haha the shop I took it to did something to the bolts because I can't take the plate off. I'm going back in tomorrow to work this out. But yes 285/70/17 duratracs will fit stock suspension with a tiny bit of rub at full lock

 

Hard to believe this exact same question has been frequently asked on this forum since before I joined...I even asked it almost five years ago.

 

I know this gets old but I am about to purchase some new tires. I have the level 8 Guardians with stock suspension. Can I run 285/70R17 or will a chop be necessary? Would you guys recommend P rated or LT? I will be going with the Falken wild peak or the destinations AT.

 

Every FJ is different but the 17x8.5 ET-6 Guardian mounted with 285/70-17 tires shouldn't rub. If it does, you can perform the BMC or try adjusting the caster (positive) for extra clearance.

 

I plan on picking up some new tires this week. Right now I am running the 265/75 R/16 tires which matches my spare. I plan to upgrade to the 285/70 R16 and would like to replace my spare with a matching tire size

Will this 285/75 R16 allow tire allow enough clearance for the rear door to open and close?

 

Shouldn't be an issue with the stock bumper and 33" tire.

 

Thanks

 

Looks good,Thanks for the pics, I do appreciate it.

 

Here is my 07 sitting stock height with 33x12.50x17s. only rub is at full lock. I am however intalling my 3" lift just for good measures Friday.

 

you will still get rub with the 3" lift. So you should do a chop:bandit:

 

Anyone have experience with the Hankook Dynapro AT-M in 285/70-17 with stock FJ?
