While both FJ Cruisers sport 285-wide tires, they differ slightly in their overall size. The silver FJ runs a 285/70R17, while the grey FJ has a slightly larger 285/75R16 setup. This means the grey FJ's tires have a taller sidewall, giving it a bit more ground clearance and a slightly more rugged look.
@Laval1 I'm thinking about 285/70R17 but have no suspension lift. Some people say that this size fits okay with stock suspension. Some people claim that you have to do the body mount chop. What you can say about it?
@@lazy_goodwill Hey there! Good question about the body mount chop. Neither of the FJs in the video have had that done, but they both have a 2 inch lift. From my experience, with 285/70R17s you shouldn't need a body mount chop, even on stock suspension. You might get a little rubbing at full lock depending on your wheel offset, but it's usually minor. If you do end up with some rubbing, you can always make some adjustments before going for the chop. Things like adjusting your mud flaps can sometimes do the trick. 👍 Watch this for more information: ua-cam.com/video/LAYGdcKSA3o/v-deo.htmlsi=PbsR1YNAxWsxNQXI
@@Laval1 Thank you! I suppose it may also depend on particular tire's tread and tread's shoulder form. But I think I will get Maxxis RAZR MT mounted with stock rims. Like yours. I've heard lots of good reviews on this model. Actually it looks like it's the one and only mud tires you guys use in Australia 😁
3:33 - wow, those ruts! Nice trip. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Those ruts were definitely a challenge (and a lot of fun!). 😉 Thanks for watching!
