I would need to see them on to see how much 1inch will change, right now they look well under the guard, even with +15s it had plenty of room left from eyeballing it.

Using a spirit level there is 25mm between the guard and the widest part of the side wall. They are only inflated to 34psi.
I think if I put the new rims and inflated the tyres to around 38/40psi I should be able to scrape it in.[B]2012 - 150 VX[/B]Comment

In SA, you are only allowed up to 26mm increase in track width. This means that you can go anywhere between +25 and +12 offset. The FJ rims would have been ideal, but as Rob said, the tyres sticking out of the guards would be more obvious.Comment

Well that's abit fail, it looks like the FJ rims will have to be it. It's abit rubbish that the stock track width of +25 rubs, it makes me think are the 18s actually E25 they only place I have seen that was written here. Can anyone confirm? Why didn't they use e15s like the US.

The 18s would be +25. Its just that the larger diameter helps in clearing the swaybar at full lock.Comment

Waiting on Toyota to make up there mind on what they are going to do about the wheels. They keep telling me the cost on the FJ rims is just too expensive. It's an expensive mistake I don't feel I should have to pay for.[B]2012 - 150 VX[/B]Comment

That's the tyre I would like (in LT), even if they're bloody expensive. How do they fit ? Do they rub on full lock ?Originally posted by Yibbitta View PostComment

I just found another post where he said there was no rubbing or touching anywhere...sounds like a good tyre.Originally posted by Kakadu13 View Post

For others after FJ rims, keep an eye on the FJ Cruiser Forum (www.fjcc.com.au) as many people on there have replaced their rims with 16" versions to give a wider variety of tyre choices, or imported rims from the U.S.A, etc.Originally posted by BobTheMonkey View Post
If you are in WA, I have heard that Richards Tyrepower in Osborne Park has a fair few FJ rims from vehicles available. Not sure on any other info - just one of those 'word of mouth' things.
Hope this info is of help to somebody.

Not sure if i'm crossing wires, but i thought we couldn't go less than 17's on the 150 because of the brakes. I can't back this up at all. Just a fragment of a memory of reading something on the forums.
