Title: 37" tyres for the FJ40 ???
Post by: Anonymous on March 09, 2006, 03:45:21 PM

I've had a look around the sceptic sites and reckon I can fit 37" tyres to the Fj40 with no modification. The axles are strong enough, theres plenty of power and the gearing is mega low ... question is which tyre and where do I get them from - I guess my choice will be limited  :?

37's hmmmmm i think you will find they will rub on the springs on lock and you will eat the rear arches on any articulation. 35's are the norm

Took your advice and stuck with the 35's but (thanks Manda) gone for the Pit bulls - 35/14.5/15 on some nice alloys - should look the dogs danglys on the FJ (they arrive Friday). I know they're wide but to be honest the FJ isn't going to be seriously offroaded, just the sand dunes out in France and a trip to Cheafest of course, the rest of the time it will be my Summer poseur  :wink:

Will do KCJ, had a result with these, they are £185 each retail !!!!! - bought 4 brand new alloys with 3 new tyres (the fourth was fooked and so not included) off ebay for £500 delivered

Do you think so Peter? - I'm running standard '98 TJ axles with 4.10 diffs and ARB's, gonna take a lot of money to upgrade to 35's for challenge events isn't it?
