Will putting 17' rims affect my '08 FJ Cruiser that comes with 16' rims?

Asked by Zadio Oct 18, 2022 at 12:42 AM about the 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4WD

Question type: Car Customization

I have an '08 FJ and I'm looking to put 17' rims on it, I want to know if it will
change things like the handling, acceleration, and throttle response due to the
transmission and diff being designed for the 16' rims.

Not much more I can add to what was stated above but remember when you increase mass or drag from larger tires and rims fuel mileage can drop cause it take more energy to turn the tires.

Why not just go to the largest 16” tire that won’t negatively effect all the above mentioned ?
