GX550 Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Thread

From experience I would say 285/70R17 or 285/70R18. I was informed that 285/75R17 would be the largest tire that would not rub, but I have discovered that indeed it is not the case.

Basically, at full turn the front tires rub the rear lining and the bracket. I ended up removing the liner since it got torn and the metal bracket it was protecting. I have the King setup so maybe it is different with another lift. I may have to modify the front wheel lining as well.

With current modifications I think I can fit 35/11.5R17 tires.

Has anyone added new wheels while maintaining OEM tires on Overtrail? What wheels did you purchase? I’m looking to add new gloss black wheels, but I’m fine continuing to use OEM tires, but seems like there isn’t a lot of options.

There’s a few of us that use the 265/70r18 tires if you search around
 
Hello Garauld the ride is more choppy but I am used to it from my pickup truck and I want the strong tire on my ride. I doubt mileage will change because they are very close to the stock tire diameter. they are Michelin defender snow rated AT tires, Michelins are a street tire look but the compound of the rubber will provide pretty good traction on back roads ( no mudding). I have used the same type of tire for several vehicles in the past. After they wear down I will probably upsize by one inch in diameter. Mickey Thompson Bajas YES.

Here is my wheel and tire upgrade on my OT+

17” Method 705’s
Toyo Open Country ATIII 285/75 R17’s
Westcott Designs Preload Collars

Also did the Westcott Full Length roof rack
This build is amazing!!

It’s pretty close to what I want to do. The only thing stopping me from going with that tire size is my doubts that a tire that size would fit in the spare tire space. Did you fit a 285/75 r17 in the spare tire well?

That size spare won’t fit. You can fit a 285/70/17 back there. @Bluegill also posted an alternative work around to get the spare close enough using an old 4Runner wheel set up. Check out his thread.

If I remember correctly , the workaround would get you close to a 34” tire set up which is exactly what the 285/75/17 set up would yield you.
 
Read all 22 pages and have scoured the interwebs. Correct me if i'm wrong...

For the stock 20" Premium+ rims the max tire size without any rubbing/modifications is 275/60/20 correct?

Also is it possible to rock the below tires with the different 22" Vossens offsets without modifications?:

For the 22" Vossens +20 offset I saw that you could fit a 275/50/22 as the max without any rubbing/modifications or is 275/45/22 the max?
For the 22" Vossens +30 offset I saw that you could fit a 285/50/22 as the max without any rubbing/modifications or is 285/45/22 the max?
