building my SOA fj40 with full size chevy axles and i was wondering what you guys think would be a good size. im going to use 17x8.5 hummer h2 wheels if i can get away with it to narrow up the wheel base a little bit. i was thinking 37x1250s or 1350s, and this is on stock springs

Probably a good starting point. If you trim the rear quarters and remove the front fenders (like a lot of us do)- you'll be able to run 40s or 42s.:grinpimp:

I would do the trimming, and run bigger tires..

After putting the 1 tons on mine, I was bulldozing until I put the 40's on it..

although i had 35's on it before (which really isn't that much different than 37's)

I have some 40" MTR/s for sale if your interested!

just do 42s an be done, your going to end up there anyways

yea i plan on doin some cutting, im not quite sure what im goin to do in the front yet, but im plannin on drivin this thing as much as i can. i guess it will kinda depend on what gears are in the diffs and which trans i end up with.

Word.

I have 42's, would like to have stretched it a little more but they work great, are you trimming the 14 bolt if you were not planning on it you should.

you mean narrowing? i wasnt planning on it, i was just going to use the high backspacing h2 wheels

I think Pooze means shaving the centre for clearance !! :smokin:
