It's been kind of a mixed bag for me at that same MV Lexus dealership, but mostly good. When the Sales Manager saw my rig, she took a bunch of photos and wanted to sent them up the Lexus chain for marketing. Don't know what happened about that....little problem, found out the tool kit seems to be missing some items (along with the socket for the anti theft lugs). I called the dealership in Mission Viejo where I purchased it and they are disputing these tools are missing and say that is how the kit comes (even though it appears there are places for pliers and several other items missing. Also I am not sure if the first aid kit was the only item in the other storage area. However, I could be wrong (have been many times in my life), so maybe someone can help me to know what is supposed to be in the kit or where to order the missing tools...?
Kind of disappointed in the level of customer service through the whole process and expected at least a little of the Lexus customer experience to at least help me order them. Other than that, I still love the rig and it will all work out.

I'm biased but I like the ALPHAEquipt wheels.Yep, I had one gx with all of the tools and this one without. No worries. At this point I have ordered the dobinsons mrr lift and trying to decide on wheels next
I really like their wheels on that lifestyle overland rig. Just hoping for the same look with the shoulder of the tire to stick out a little, so not sure of offset. On their website they do mention a “+1” offset in the comments.
Lifestyleoverland has the Fuel wheels on their GX. They look great, they have a youtube video where they install the suspension and wheels. It looks like they are running the -12 offset, but require a lot of trimming to fit with 285's. If you go with the +01, they should fit better with minimal trimming, but they wont look as dished. Since you're not a stranger to a little rubbing, I vote for the -12's
I'm also not sure about fitting the 285/70R17 in the spare tire area. I can't fit my 275/70R18 under there.
The Lifestyle Overland guys have to be running the -12mm offset version of the Nitro 6. I had to do my fair share of trimming of plastic, BMC, and UCA's just so you know. I have the SCS SR8 in a 17x8.5 with a -10mm offset and 285's and this is how it sits looking directly down the side of the truck. This will be very close to how those Fuels will look in terms of offset and stance.
Are you running 285/75/17 or 285/70/17? approximately .250" diffrence in width.
Curious as I will be picking up my Toyo Open Country R/T (285/75/17) at the loading dock tomorrow. Installing them on SCS Stealth 6, same wheel size as yours.
Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/70/17. Both should measure 11.2" wide depending on manufacturer, the 75 will just be 1" taller. I might move up in size down the road, but for now these are great and I still get decent fuel economy.
not sure either... I will probably have to do it myself Is it just adjustment screws on the headlight assembly?
