It is about time to get new tires and stepping up to 285s. But, after looking at the cost for a 17" wheel, I am blown away. I could buy 5 16" tires of the same brand and still have 300 left over for four of the same tires in a 17" wheel.
I have 5, 16" FJ 60/62 wheels with 37 SSRs on them. 3 are for my camping trailer and the rest rot in back yard (only 1/3 tread left and no enough to use on my FJ40 when I go rock crawling. I can't test the wheels to see if they fit because the tires are too big.
Will a 16" wheel clear the brake calipers? I believe the backspacing is the same as the alloy 17" wheels the FJ Cruiser has. I am just worried about them fitting over the calipers.
I figure I could paint the FJ 60 wheels black and sell the 17" alloys to make some money back. Thoughts?
