What size tires are on a stock FJ Cruiser?

The stock tire size on a Toyota FJ Cruiser is 265/70R17. This all-terrain tire provides the perfect balance of off-road capability and on-road comfort for the FJ Cruiser's unique blend of rugged design and daily drivability.


Understanding the FJ Cruiser's Tire Specifications


The tire size on a vehicle is typically expressed in a format like 265/70R17. Let's break down what each of those numbers and letters mean:



  • 265 - This is the tire's width in millimeters.

  • 70 - This is the tire's aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to the tread width. A 70 aspect ratio means the sidewall height is 70% of the tread width.

  • R - This indicates the tire has a radial construction, which is the most common type of tire construction today.

  • 17 - This is the diameter of the wheel the tire is designed to fit, in inches.


So in summary, the stock FJ Cruiser tires are 265mm wide, have a 70% aspect ratio, are radial construction, and fit 17-inch wheels.


Why These Tire Specs?


Toyota engineers selected this tire size to provide the FJ Cruiser with a balance of off-road capability, on-road comfort, and appropriate load-carrying capacity. The 265/70R17 tires give the FJ Cruiser:


  • Ample ground clearance for tackling rough terrain

  • Sufficient traction and grip for both paved and unpaved surfaces

  • A comfortable ride quality on the highway

  • The ability to carry heavy loads when needed


This tire size has become a popular choice for many off-road-focused SUVs and trucks, as it provides an excellent compromise between performance, comfort, and capability.

What size tires can you put on a stock FJ Cruiser?


The stock FJ Cruiser can fit 265/70R17 (31.6") tires without modification. With minor trimming and correct wheel offset, you can fit up to 285/70R17 (approximately 33"). RBP offers multiple tire options in these sizes to enhance your FJ's capability.
