Hello Desert Fox


Nice rims but it is not for FJ neither for off-road because :
1. It mentioned for low profile tyres : all off-roaders use high profile
2. It has 4 bolts : off-road rims either 5 or 6 bolts

These are not Lenso rims, but a joke for Tercel or below. Every normal SUV has 6 bolts/nuts for fixing and maximum size 16". You don't want to drill another 2 holes, right?

The less size of the rim , the more high Tyre can be installed , more high ( tall ) tyres will give longer tyre print when deflated , the longer print you have the better traction you will gain in sand . fixing big tyres ( wider and higher ) on big rims will increase the diameter of the whole wheel , which will damage the fenders , or at least the tyres will keep rubbing the fender arch constantly while off roading which will result loss of speed , fender arch damage and tyres damage on the long term .

the best solution is to maintain the original wheel diameter by fixing bigger tyres on smaller rims , especially on stock ( not lifted ) vehicles .

I agree with Abu Jimmy's arguments. As the car manufacturer designs the fender area space for certain size, e.g. 16", it would not be adviceble to place there 20" tyres. However if anybody wants to make it, I have no objection. He will just hear some noise all the time, by touching tyres the fenders. To avoid this logically he would need go for lifting at least 4", which is not safe at all.

Thank you Abu Jimmy for this useful information. I now feel a lot more confident (and happier) with my 15" rims on Roxanne.
