After fitting them and having wheel alignment done again, went to Nganguring area just east of Mundaring to double-check wheels clearance during articulation.
Wanted also to play with tyre pressures and try to find the best compromise between the comfort and the maximum traction with these 3 ply sidewalls, 7 ply on thread and 128P load/speed rated tyres.
They are quite strong for 2.5T FJ Cruiser but that was exactly what I was after for the coming trip to the Red Centre.
Running 0 offset on these 17x9 rims made me worry about the extra inch new wheels were sticking out comparing to factory 17x7.5 with +15 offset.
Luckily there were no dramas as both front and rear wheels cleared guards in the few suspected tight spots under the articulation.
These tyres provided a great ride comfort with plenty of traction when aired down to 24PSI on tracks with gravel/small rocks type of the surface and speeds between 30-50kph.
