Default im lifting my FJ

SO skyjacker came out with a 3" lift for my FJ Cruiser...

its definitely ordered... they dont ship out till june 7th tho.. so i have a little bit of a wait.. *sigh*

thats ok, it gives me time to figure out what wheels/tires i wanna order to go with it LOL

but im lucky b/c i get a hell of a deal on stuff for my truck b/c where i work.. and a shop is gonna use my truck as a marketing effort so help me out with install *with a lift* LOL (which is great b/c i dont have to try and fenagle (sp?) it on in my driveway LOL)

anyways ill get some good before and after shots

I want a black wheel with polished lip or beadlock...
then some nobby tires

i DO have a question since im new to this offroad business....

so im gonna get 33"s probably.. maybe 35"s

but for example if my wheel is a 18"x9"
do i get a 33"x13.5" or is that too big... b/c that seems to be a pretty common 18"rim tire size im running into?

im not concerned about the rim size.. ive got that all figured out

i just dont know what tire will fit the wheel..

is a 13.5" wide tire too wide for a 9" wheel?

mickey thompson has a very nice polished aluminum wheel w/ removeable imitation beadlocks. They sell black rings too. That is if you are ok w/ the opposite.
