GX550 Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Thread

Installed King suspension today after waiting six weeks. Both front and rear are adjustable. Installed Icon springs in the rear.

Opted for Method 305 17x8.5 +25 Offset with Toyo 285/75R17 C Load.

There is rubbing at full turn in some instances as I can hear the grind against the wheel liner. Will have to figure out what to trim or maybe adjust the alignment.

Thinking about getting lighter Volk Racing wheels to reduce the weight. My loaded truck currently weighs in 6,720 lbs.

Here are some initial photos.

what exactly are the things adding to the 1k extra weight? do you have an approx breakdown of each upgrades?

I have a lot of gear in the truck. Things like Dometic cooler, stove, propane tank, tables, chairs, compressor, ladder, and other junk add up. I’m adding storage cabinets to manage the gear better so I can reduce weight. If I’m ever going to make to Tuktoyaktuk I’m going to need more gas tanks and reduce weight to add them.
 
Here is my current setup...

Overtrail+
Matte PPF
Westcott Preload Lift Kit
Volk Racing TE37SB 18x8 +30 Pressed Double Black
Toyo Open Country A/T III EV Tire - LT305/70R18 126/123R E/10 (34.8" Tall Tire 60lbs)
I had to push in the front fender line in a little bit. Took off the cover for the safety bracket. Going to remove the bracket soon because after I got an alignment I get slight rubbing in reverse.

Looks great - I am guessing you're not running a spare/keeping the stock spare in place?

Curious how you like the ride post-Westcott and LT Tires compared to stock.
