      Mine do have small cracks in the sidewalls that have never really gotten any bigger and the tyre power dealer that sold me the tyres said a lot of tyres do it and mine are nothing to worry about....will keep an eye on them.

      Just checked mine and it's only on one tyre and the splits seem fairly superficial.

          There's a set at Total Traction Tyres that you could try if you asked the guys there nicely
          Then make sure you report back here

              Yes, Gunnell has advertised it. Not sure if it has sold though.

                  update!

                  1 - They fit, there would be about an inch of space now at full lock.
                  2 - They are not for sale.
                  3 - Toyota wants $1150 each for them.

                    It would make sense now as to why these rims are on all the 4runners that have KDSS.

                      That's great Bob. Did you take a pic? I think the FJ forum guys have already reserved the set to be split up as sixth spares.

                      There are quite a number of aftermarket rims out there with similar offset.

                        yeah the guy at Total Traction Tyres was going to call around and see what he could find with a +15 offset

                        didn’t take any pics, we just swapped out the front right tyre and i swang the wheel full lock left and right with lots of clearance.

                        I wouldn’t mind finding some 8 or 9 inch rims if I’m going after market.

                          Been looking on and off now for some rims, from what I can tell I should be able to fit 17x9 with a 0 offset. As long as that fits under the guards. That will give me +25mm on each side.

                          Anyone know of some basic 17x9-0's? Or even anything between that and 17x7.5+15s

                          http://www.procomp.com.au/Default.asp?MenuId=WHEEL_0098
                          These come in 17x8+0s

                          http://www.tech9tyres.com.au/wheels/detail/classic-ll
                          17 x 9+0 6x139.7 - $345.00

                          difference:
                          17x7.5+25
                          17x9+0
                          Inner Clearance: 6mm MORE (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)
                          Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 44mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)

                            Bob, moving out 25mm is a big change, I have 7mm on wheel and 5mm on the tyre and are fairly close to the outside of the guard, also u need to check the regulations in your state re wheel track Increase, just some food for thought.

                              Yeah, from all I read is you can move 50mm total? But I'm unsure how that is calculated.

                              The VX comes with 18x7.5E25, 17x7.5E25 (GXL rims) rub on the swaybar which I had fitted by the dealer.
                              17x7.5E15 (FJ rims) fit nicely but they are $1150 a wheel, and Toyota isn't keen to fork out that kinda money even tho they made the mistake.

                              From what I understand the wheel can't stick out past the guard, I'm going to still put the same rubber which is 265/65r17 which is rated upto 9.5in rim.

                              From what I understand is the offset can't be more the 25mm each side which is why 0 would be the max. However does the width of the rim also come into play.

                                I am pretty sure it is measured from the centre of the rim, I would be more worried about them sticking out!! But anyhow just giving some ideas to you.
