new shoes on GX.. BBS 18s...
Just put them on today. they are BBS 18x9 with Cooper LTZ all terrain 285/60. I like the aggressive tread and not noisy at all. The wheels were designed for the 03 TRD Tundra I believe.
$900 on ebay for the wheels. $704 for the tires mounted and balanced. I love the offset so it has a nice wide stance and just a tad if any from the flares.

Nice! I have been looking at the TRD BBS wheels on ebay for a while, wondering how it'll look in 18" form compared to another BBS available for the FJ Cruiser in 20" form.
Thanks for the pictures!

i like 20s but i wanted an AT tire in case i went offroading (yeah right) but without lifting the truck, only a thin profile would work which i didn't want that look.
also the a bigger wheel combo puts on more weight. braking and accelerating is reduced.

That looks great! According to the miata calculator ( http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html ) that size gives you about 1/2 inch more ground clearance compared to stock GX wheel/tire combo while retaining about the same sidewall height

Do you know (or anyone else reading this thread) what the offset is on your wheels? I'm trying to determine if the BBS RW wheels available at Tire Rack are the same offset as that on the TRD/BBS wheel.
