GX550 Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Thread

[rojo06]

I think they'd look good. I doubt 33s would rub since 33s are standard equipment. The +35 offset is a bit different than the stock wheels' +50 offset but not much.

Maybe a dumb question but I can't readily find the answer - is the stock +50 wheel offset the same for all GX trim-level stock wheels?

Dumb question… looking to do this in and swap out the premium plus wheel (so doing 20, not 22), but do I need to swap tires too? I don’t want to buy the wrong diameter/offset. Anyone able to help?

For those of you that have the open country at3s. I’m curious if anyone has been able to compare the wet/dry performance vs the stock all seasons on the gx. I know most people will not have tried out both the all seasons and the ATs but I figure it’s worth a shot. The reason is because I’m going from the stock grandtrek pt5a in 265/50r22 to open country at3s in 275/50r22.
I was hoping the wet/snow performance would improve, I would lose comfort and noise, and that dry performance would be around the same. Am I crazy with these assumptions? Thanks.

Just mounted the 275s today and I think it fits perfect on the stock 22s. Completely changes the look of the wheel imo.

Looks good! Did you also replace the spare tire?

No I did not. I’m not off-roading so I’m not expecting any flats. This is 50% for improved snow/wet traction and 50% looks.

I would assume that the 275 will fit underneath the spare tire well.

Yea. It should be no problem. It’s not that much bigger than stock. About 32.8”

Thank you, ilumo. I will also replace the stock tires once I get my luxury 2025 production model. I'm either 2nd or 3rd on the waitlist.

not a problem. the OC AT3's are maybe just a tad louder than the Dunlops, but look so much better, has some more cushion, and hopefully much better winter/offroad performance. Maybe i'll take it out to trail terrain. I'm sure it can handle it.
I'll post more pics after I wash the truck. It's filthy now.

I hear rubbing through the picture. Haha. Looks cartoonish - so big.

Front bumper definitely was modified to stop the rubbing

good catch!

I'm running 35x11.50r18 with a plus 20 offset and 2.5 lift. I'm familiar with the modifications necessary. I just wouldnt have hacked it like in that picture.

Look at the poke on these things there will be no paint left on the rear door panels from the stone chips!

Not only that, I bet it lost significant articulation with the offset, maybe even worse than stock without a lift?

I'm getting the HF6-4 and the smallest width they come in is a 9" width. at 9" +18 is the best offset they have. The stock 265 tires might be too narrow for that rim and will look funny in my opinion

For those who are going to 35's, and then also steel bumpers, has anybody asked the bumper fabricators if they could design something that deletes the stock hitch receiver (and has a new one of its own) to make more room for a larger spare, and then you can maybe get a 35x10.5x17 spare from Kenda Tire? I think they may be the only tire company out there that has a 35" tire that is less than 11.5 inches wide? I would think there would be play in there to move it rearwards enough if the hitch receiver was not there, but I have not dropped the spare yet to look. Here is Kenda link:
Automotive Tires, Passenger Car Tires, Light Truck Tires, UHP Tires | Automotive | Kenda Tires | Klever R/T

As a side note, another thing I'd like to see on these aftermarket bumpers is a relocation of the trailer hitch plugs!!!

That’s actually a really good shout, the trailer hitch relocation.
