But that has no real effect or bearing on a simple swap I am assuming? As long as the tpms is synced thereafter it should be a no brainer, no?

I am obsessed with this switch now as my wheels are horrific looking. A buddy at work has an FJ and his wheels look pristine. I am currently trying to find the FJ wheels on Craigslist/ebay etc. They don't seem too expensive, I just want to make sure I get the right ones (ie: ones in OP pics).

That's correct, they will swap right on with no mods, and the TPMS sensors will work with your truck as well.

These are for sale on my local Craigslist for not much $$$. These would be direct bolt on, no? Looks like center cap may swap as well. Not the jazziest but I am looking for clean, non peeling look.

"Tires are the factory Dunlop AT 20 sized 265/65R17. Pic shows amount of tread, they all look great. No leaks, plugs, etc."

They are off a 2010 Tacoma.

Thoughts?

atif7x7,

Can you confirm what year FJ Cruiser your wheels came from? I too have an 07 GX and am likely buying 2009 FJ rims tomorrow morning. I know there is the aforementioned offset issue but I think it wont matter. Thanks

Confirmed: 2009 FJ Cruiser. I believe all FJ's have come with the same rims till recently. Now they have gone to a completely different design but yes you should have no offset issues.

Will take some shots and post em. Mine are sitting snug but not as flush as the Lexus ones. But you wont know it if you really go close to it and stare. And they wont come loose either, I have already gone off roading with them on as well as drove at high speed (80-90mph) on long distance hauls and no issues.

Ya, mine haven't fallen off yet either, and they look fine until you get right in there, and really only if you know how the Toyota centercaps fit in comparison. Thanks for confirming, and being the guinea pig!

agreed re: guinea pig.

Unless the wheels tomorrow are pitted/peeling I'm getting them and will have them installed Tuesday, pics by Wednesday. Thanks all for the resources and information.
