Has anybody installed rims from a current FJ. I cant seem to install the front caps and want some ideas or pics on how to fix my problem. I have a 95 4x4.

Coach,
These are the FJ wheels I have:
hubcaps are impossible on the front for a 4x4. If you've seen a t100 with FJ wheels out there with the front center caps, it was a 2x.
The hub is too large in diameter (the cap won't fit around it), and the grease caps stick out too far to allow it to fit flatly. So, you would have to cut a whole in the center of the cap, and cut the flanges off of the cap to get it to sit flush... But then how would you attach it?
Advice: paint the centercaps black and live with it, or get a set of manual hubs.
What size tire did you go with, i was thinking about using the stock FJ size.
I have the stock FJ size - actually, I have the stock FJ dunlops (265 70 R17). I bought 5 wheels & tires as a set of takeoffs with a few hundred miles on them.
The stock FJ tires are 31.6" diameter. I had 265 75 R16s on before I went to the FJ wheels, so this was actually the EXACT same final size as what I ran before.
It's a smidgeon taller than the original 265 70 R16s "bigger" tires the T100 came with, but mine drives and tows just fine.
Much larger and I think you might want to gear down.
Coach/Robiewp, just curious were you able to find a cap to fit the FJ rims or did you go to manual hubs.Thanks Hink10
I just painted the stock hubs black and called it good, though I may go manual some day.
Unfortunately I don't think the stock caps will ever in any way fit the front wheels simply because of the diameter of the hubs not leaving room for the cap attachment.
Thanks for the reply, I have seen some on craigslist and wanted to know how they worked out for you. The pics of your truck looks great with these rims. thanks again for the info. Hink10
