Hey I just had some 285/70r17 firestone destination a/t's put on my unlifted FJ with no body mount chop and I am ecstatic to report that there is no rubbing whatsoever!! :rocker::rocker: looks muuuuuch better than the 245/75r17 continental highway tires the previous owner had on there and it rides much better now too :rofl:

That's awesome! I hear mixed reports on 285 70 r17's rubbing. I'm hoping to put that size on mine as well. Thx for the report.

Yeah I heard mixed things too and decided to go for it and just assume they would rub. I found a shop beforehand that would do the body mount chop for me and got a quote for it. I was definitely expecting rubbing and was happily surprised! I would recommend this approach!

Just an update, if I whip into a parking lot fast enough to tilt the body a bit and turn it just right I can hear slight rubbing but other than that it's still good to go!

Not rubbing under what conditions?

Sweet!

Not rubbing during street driving is not the same as not rubbing...

How about some pics of these new shoes?

Fwiw, rubbing is a matter of tire size, wheel setup, UCA, and alignment (caster). Get it all perfect and you'll have plenty of clearance. I've ran 34x 10.5x16s and no rub even offroad.

I did get a notification. Thank you. I just got my fj in feb and notice the noise dive it naturally has. I do how ever wanted to put bigger tires on. So I got toyo open country at2 on a big sale at Walmart for 160 each. Reg 225ish. 285/70r17. Just wanted to know if o course for these on with out a lift without any issues. The info I get is mixed. Some say must do a life and some say not needed. So I thought I would ask someone what the same year as mine, 2012, that is stock and tire size I got.

Did you get your 285/70R17's Toyo's installed on your FJ, working well and no issues?
