FJ Cruiser New Wheel Fitment Check

With any aftermarket wheels a fitment check is critical prior to mounting the tires. In most cases you will be able to return the wheels if they do not clear the brakes and other components. It is with this in mind that Jacked the left front om my Toyota FJ Cruiser up and removed the stock wheel.

The Mickey Thompson Sidebiter (#179412) is made to fit the FJ so I did not expect any problems but I was checking just to be sure.

As shown in the photos there plenty of clearance from both the caliper and  spindle.

I did learn that factory alloy lug nuts do not fit so I will be purchasing a set of locking nuts prior to mounting the wheels next week.

The wheels look good and I can’t wait to get them on the FJ.
