Will 285/65 r18 on stock OT+ wheels fit a stock OT+ with no rub an no mud flap removal?
This guy fit 285/75 on stock suspension. He said no rub
Greetings all! I recently took delivery of a Premium + that is basically brand new except that the GM of a Lexus dealership had it for a few months and just drove it to and from the dealership. It came with a 2" lift, Fuel 18" wheels, and Landspider Wildtraxx M/T 33x12.50R18 LTs. I can tell from the little driving I've done that they are not enjoyable at all on road(obviously). They also rub pretty severely when turning the wheel more than 60-70%. I like the look of them but they're not practical for on road, which is what I would mostly be doing. I don't know the offset as I had trouble getting all the information since the dealership I purchased the vehicle from was not the original dealer and it came to them like that. I just ordered some Nitto Terra Grappler G3s 275/65/R18s to put on the existing wheels. They should retain the aggressive look but being that they are an 11" wide tire, 32" tall, and only 42lbs, they should do much better on road and hopefully not rub. This particular size also comes with a 70K mile warranty! Does anyone know from personal experience anything about the NITTO Terra Grappler G3s and how the ride, fuel economy, and sound on highway is? I will post and update and pictures once I put the new tires on but in the meantime here are some pictures of the current set up. God bless!

You can find more info at the LandCruiser forum. In general the reviews are quite positive. I plan to get these tires if I decline to do the King lift.
You can review @A10MileHusker post here: What did you do in your GX today?
For those of you searching for fitment of bigger tires and more poke on a Luxury+...
2024 Luxury+
Westcott Designs Preload Collar Lift (2.5" front lift, 0.75" Rear)
Vossen HF6-1, 22x9.5 +20
Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/50R22
Very minor trimming required to the lower corners of the front bumper (less than 0.25") and did NOT need to trim aft of the tire or remove the "crash box." I included a picture of the trimmed driver's side corner. This picture is taken from a slightly upward angle, and actually makes it look like a bigger cut than it really is. You can't see the trimmed corner from standing up.
I think a +30 offset with the same tire MIGHT have cleared without trimming.
First attempted to fit a 285/55R22, but the rub was pretty bad, and it would have required significant trimming to the bumper (at least an inch at the bottom corner of the bumper), as well as removal of the "crash box" at the rear of the front wheel wells. I'm not sure if all the 285/55R22s I've seen on social media are able to fit because of more aggressive trimming, or if the other trim packages are more forgiving.

Very happy with the results.
Cheers!

Largest tire you think I could fit on these? Stock suspension
Probably can squeeze 275/70. I am running similar offsets with TRD Pro BBS wheels and I have the same tire but with a 1" leveling kit. Id imagine it would still clear at stock height.
I would like to think 285/70r18 would fit. Which 1" kit did you get? Just 1" in front, yes?
Maybe it would, someone above has 285/75 but the volks are a little wider. I did the 1” kit from ReadyLift
Thats the size I want to run, but need to confirm if it’ll rub.
Readylift says max size with the 1" leveling kit is 285/75R17 which is the same as 285/70R18. When the stock tires are gone, I'll level and hope ot run the latter on stock rims.

I called 88Rotors regarding the King lift and they said the recommended tire size is 285/75R17. Anything bigger would probably rub the UCAs.Readylift says max size with the 1" leveling kit is 285/75R17 which is the same as 285/70R18.

Westcott said pretty much the same thing, only difference was the recommended tire size (285/70R18).
At this point, I'm better off getting the Nitto G3 275/70R18 SL and save $8K if I were to do a King lift/installation.
Hey Folks! New here. Just got my Luxury+ this weekend. Need some serious help with tires / wheels. Fairly new to this space and been obsessively trying to research and figure things out this weekend but just need some help.
Not a fan of the 22s. Getting some vibrations when I drive. Not sure it’s even the tires but, regardless, I want the best ride possible. Going to be roads/highway 99.9% of the time. Figured I would drop down to aftermarket 20s to at least help some with ride quality. Probably go with Defender. I know, it’s not as sexy but a nice quiet ride is priority #1.
That’s where I’ve been just spinning in circles. I want to keep wheel / tire size as close to OEM as possible to not impact anything else—speedometer, handling, etc. or should that not matter? Current tires are 265/50/R22. I was thinking about going with 265/60/R20. But from what I’ve seen, most wheels in that size are 9-10” width. It looks like OEM wheel width is 7.5. Does that difference really have an impact? How important is width? How important is the offset? I don’t see it in the manual but I saw oem offset is about +30-40? I was looking at the Vossen HF6-5 wheels but they only offer +15 (standard) or +25 (custom). Is that enough offset?
Lots of questions I know but I’m clearly confused. Any other suggestions / recommendations based on my goals and what I’ve stated here are certainly welcomed.
Thanks!
