Some more 4Runner on FJ action

You can now add me to the FJ wheel crew. Originally I was in the market for tires, but then figured maybe I could score a lightly used wheel and tire combo for the same price. It's funny I got rid of my Audi's because I figured I wouldn't mod a SUV and I would save money. So far it's not too bad, but now I might want/need a lift I'll explain why.

Obviously bigger wheels and tires and at times I get a bit of rubbing. The only time it rubs is when the wheel is turned about 80% and the front suspension compresses(ie. pulling into a driveway fast, as if you were doing donuts). I don't want a lift, but if there was something minimal like an 1" I would be ok with it if it would get rid of the rubbing. I'm thinking about the Sonoran system 3.0 since it's a minimal lift and still retains the stock ride. Since it's kind of pricey I would love to get my hands on 99 tall coils and try that first, but not sure if my shocks are in need of replacing. How much do 99 tall springs cost?

Looks fantastic! I have the same truck (year/color) and mine isn't nearly that clean and shiny. Well done on the wheel/tire combo.
 
Great looking rig, and awesome first mod. Welcome to the FJ Cruiser Wheels group! :D Those rims absolutely look awesome on our 3rd gen 4Runners, and I for one am so glad I put some on my T4R too! Congratz!

Thanks man it's amazing how even stock wheels from another model can make a big difference. At first I was thinking LC wheels, but I've liked the FJ all together for a while now. What size tires do you again? Also do you rub at all?

My FJC rims came with the stock size 265/70/17 tires on it. I don't have any issues with rubbing as fara s I can see or hear. I haven't done any offroading with them yet, but 95% of my driving is paved roads anyways. Is that the same size you got with your rims? They look like BFGoodwrench A/Ts (couldn't make out exactly in the pics)..
 
Not to deflate your woody but I think rapters in South Carolina

Looks like Jersey plates to me...

BTW Rapter, looks great. I've got an FJ rental and I'm trying to figure out how to swap out the wheels before I have to return it today. I wanna snag them and paint them black haha.
