GX550 Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Thread

[incognito.gx]

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.

I tried that setup and it would fit sitting flat and straight. Turning was a different matter. Another member in the forum said the same thing, 35s Fit! KO3 285/75 R18.

Minor fender trimming needed. I have plans to replace front bumper anyway and possibly suspension.
Ride is bit firmer, but no complaints.

I've been lurking here for a month or two.

We powder coated the premium wheels and put on nittos.

Very happy with the outcome

What size and type of Nitto’s? Looks great!

Also, any testing for mileage on the highway and around town before and after the tire swap?

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.
