I picked up my Overtrail here in Arizona on June 7, 2024. I had Westcott Designs in Phoenix install their preload collar lift kit, their full length modular roof rack, 17" Method 703 wheels (titanium color, +35mm offset), and Toyo Open Country AT3 tires size 35X12.5R17LT (load range C). I...

I'm running 35x12.5x17" on Method 703 wheels with +35mm offset.
You think this setup would rub with 33s?
To anybody out there, per your own experience, which is better method or black rhino and why? Thank you in advance.
No it wont Rub as it stands but despite that Im going even bigger than 33, I ordered Wescott's collar lift and i will be running 34 inch tires on the 20s
Your current tires are about 32" right? 275/55r20
They are ALMOST 32" and the truck swallows them up, I not one who likes tires TOO big but anything less than 33" on this truck is a joke, Im shopping for bigger now, plus I ordered wescott collar lift, so in order for the GX not to look like its on bike wheels, I'll HAVE to go at least 34' with that lift, to keep it classy that is
I will be getting BFG KO2 at 275/55/20 put on the stock Premium Plus wheels tomorrow. I'll post pics afterwards...
Posted in another thread, but I swapped to The wheels that come on the Platinum Tundra: 265/60R20. Comes out to the same diameter as OT, 32.5”. I just couldn’t handle the Prem+ wheels, lasted 3 days.
Sorry, maybe a stupid question but when you buy a rim or set of rims, are the Lugnuts included or do you have to buy them separately?
Not a stupid question. Everyone has to start somewhere and you would never have known this if you’ve never purchased a set of aftermarket wheels. They do not come with lug nuts. However, you can reuse the stock lug nuts most of the time.
Can I ask, how much this cost ya? I have pretty much the same setup and definitely like those rims more than the Prem+ stock.
I guess the Tundra center caps were also the same size. Well done.
Was working with dealer on a tire upgrade package on my incoming Premium+ and at the 11th hour management rejected the request citing that a number of safety systems would be adversely affected due to the miscalibration of OEM tire spec vs 33" tires... systems such as collision warning, airbags, sensors, etc. Quite the list. Was surprised to run into this position.

lies from an Uninformed dealer, I installed aftermarket wheels and tires using TMPS from a 2022 supra and my GX550 systems recognized them and worked fine, which CONFIRMED to me that toyota TMPS are interchangeable, we live and learn, that my middle name by the way, Mad Maximus, lol
my Advice is that you have the shop order a set of lugnuts for the aftermarket wheels, these new GX550 lug nuts WONT work, take one off and look at it, they are designed with a huge circular lip around the diameter of the lug nut, they wont enter the orfice of an aftermarket wheel, mark my word, lol
