    A +15 would be fine no way would you want a +30.
    I have 3 different sets of wheels for the Kakadu and know your frustration well.
    Great thanks guys, I'll go with the +15 and hopefully all good

      I got the 17" FJ rims with pos15 offset. Fits perfectly with the KDSS sway bar, brake calliper and upper control arm

              Yes that's exactly what I thought and ideal offset. The greyish style of the older wheel turned me a bit off so I was really happy when I saw the new FJ wheels first - still am :-)

                • I had an Ad up on Gumtree and the seller contacted me. Unfortunately only 4 for $1,000 plus postage

                  • What made you change the tyre and wheel size Sydneydude? Just the availability of tyres?

                    • I had AT3 in passenger construction, which I was very happy with but wanted an LT construction. I was tossing up between 18" and getting Cooper AT3 in LT 275/65R18 or getting the S/T Maxx in LT 265/70R17. The main reason I went with the S/T is it's more aggressive tread yet still an All-terrain, and with a bit more sidewall.
                      Both tyres are great with the AT3 being a bit better on road. I had the chance to get my hands on the new FJ cruiser wheels and so I did. The S/T cover me and my appetite for outback touring and weekend 4WDing but I would have been happy too with the AT3 in LT;

                      • After spending a week in the Vic High Country I can appreciate the benefit of some extra sidewall although there were a couple of staked tyres amongst the 17 owners. The D697s in the 265/60/R18 really bag out when dropping the pressures, had others thinking the pressures were too low. Might get something else next time, the D697s are looking a bit thrashed after the GTG.

                        • Great thread.

                          Can anyone tell me on a 2013 Kakadu what rim size and offset I should consider if I want to fit legal (within +-15mm diameter) tyres? Can I fit 17 inch with the KDSS components?

                          Also would Yokahama Geolander G012 tyres be ok for Sydney to Flinders Ranges, back via Simpson Dessert? I was thinking I may need a flatter side wall. Any ideas?

                            See a few posts up by Sydneydude. 17" FJ rims at 15 offset is perfect. Tyre size would be 265/65R17 or 275/65R17 to remain legal.

                            • Those new FJ rims look much nicer than the old ones, it's a pitty they cost so much through Toyota...

                              • Thanks amts.

                                Would any 17 inch with a 15 offset work? Would Hilux SR5 rims work?

                                Do you know if the Geolanders are ok off-road or a bit soft not being LT? I am planning some outback driving and exploring.
