Did anyone determine if LT285/70R17 BFG's work on a stock FJ? A "Tires and Rims" thread seemed like a good place for this sort of info.

It's pretty difficult to say "yes, that size will fit", as there is so many variables. One tire that says it's a 285/70/17 may measure slightly different than another tire from a different manufacturer of the same size. And there is also the rim sizing, and offset/backspacing. All I can say is my Goodyear MT/R's size 285/70/17 fit using the stock aluminum rims with zero rubbing. No rubbing on the street, OR hard wheeling. But I've also been called a liar on another site for saying that same thing. He said he had the same exact tires, and they rubbed a lot. Although he wouldn't tell me what rims he used.

I wish they made a 35" Goodyear MT/R on a 17" rim. But only a 33", 34", and a 37" are available on the 17" rim.
