      Maybe see if you can pick up the rim cover that the Fj's come with rather than the full wheel cover??

        What size DC Torques did you get and where did you source them from?

        • Sorry if it's the same question already asked but can anyone confirm that 285/60/18s will fit a 150 Vx with 2" lift without hitting/rubbing on anything?? Thanks in advance.

          • Had 2 people comment that the new KO2's are very slippery in the wet. One was a helix and the other a Prado.

            Anyone else had this issue ?

            • I've got my hands on a set of 5 x Cooper zeon ltz. 285/60/18 for my 150 Vx. Swapping my 265/65/18s BFGs. The BFGs have been really good and I have no complaints about them. I have had a few sets of them on different cars but thought I would try out something different. The coopers are pretty well the same diameter but 20mm wider which should look awesome Imo. I will be getting them fitted early next week. Will post pics once they are on! Oh! They will be getting fitted to my aftermarket 8.5" rims with +15 offset.

                I didn't have a lot of luck with my LTZ's, two were rendered unusable after getting a bolt through the centre of the tread on one (under 10k km) and a piece of steel through the other, not being a light truck tyre you might be taking a step backwards. You might want to buy an extra as they aren't readily available if you do have a problem.

                    Do they stick out past the guards? Can't quite tell from the pics. What rims are those and what size?

ID:	652743The rims are an 18 x 8.5 with a +15mm offset. They are Koya Xj6. The 285/60/18s are a perfect fit and fill the guards like they should. The smooth part of the sidewall bulges just beyond the gaurd. I am sure they would be within the govs regulations of no part of the tyre being outside the gaurd. I have a 2" lift FYI. Here is another pic that might help a little. I will get a good side shot when the Missus gets home. Click image for larger version

                        I contacted Koya and they suggested the XJ5 in 17x8 with +20 offset for a 17" tyre, said they would fit. Can't say I like the look of them, maybe if I had a Tuff bar on the Kakadu LOL.





                        Looks like the FJ rims are winning so far.

                        Is anyone running the Dick Cepek Fun Country II in a 265/70/17" size? Price seems to be on-par with BFGs but looks a bit more like a muddy. Just curious how they handle the black top as well as off-road.

                        I see there is also the Dick Cepek Fun Country, a bit of Googling suggests these are the newer of the 2 models but I'm not sure.

                        • Raptors in 18in look the goods. Put the D697s on in the same size as original to keep the rolling diameter the same. Handles well so far and will be towing the camper on Straddie so can check the sand performance. Also have 5 Kakadu rims for sale now that I'll put in the for sale section!

                              • Had Coopers 265/60/R18 AT3 on my Kakadu which lasted about 45K before rocks/gravel became an issue with punctures and even structural damage requiring replacement - not impressed!. Have now fitted Hankook Dynapro ATM's at 1/2 the cost of BFG's which are quiet and appear to be OK although it is too early to tell. Cooper tires did occasionally activate Traction Control System way too early! Haven't had this issue with the Hankooks yet!

                                Previously had BFG's on my Pajero, which were very good but at over $500 a pop for the Kakadu and with a road noise level of a truck, i thought I give the Hankooks a go.
