FJ rims on a 4Runner

[matthewy03]

I have a White 2009 4Runner v6 , I was wondering if how a set of 17" FJ rims would look on it. I also was thinking about power coating them black... Anybody have any picture of this??

Here are some pics of the rims I am thinking about getting.

I have black FJ wheels, and love them. I did not powedercoat them but rather paint them myself.

Here is the DIY thread I made, and some pics.

Thanks for the reply. I am also thinking about putting a daystar budget boost leveling kit on it and upgrading tires.

Anybody have any preferences on either 265/70's or 255/80's???

Do you mean 255/75's? I have these, and they fit, but just barely. I think a 255/80 would be too big. I've not had the 265/70's, but I just upgraded to 255/75's and love them. Even with this size, the spare fits as well. For more info and pics, click here. I have 1.5" of lift, with the Daystar you will get ~2" if I remember correctly.

yes, 255/75. I do like the look of them on yours!! Looks good...

Just a little more info: the 265/70's were $100 cheaper for a set of 4. However, with them most notice .5-1mpg difference. With the 255/75's, there isn't any negative effect (some even increased slightly). That is based on what I've read, I'll confirm that in a couple weeks once I get some miles put on mine. I figured the gas savings would pay for the extra $100, so spent extra now to save later.

hello, do any of you guys know if they make a 17" trd edition fj wheel? i can't seem to find them and am starting to think the worst. i think they would look sick on my 4r. go tofjpartsstore.com if you want to see the 16" ones anyway. anything would be appreciated.
