How hard was to fit the Ray10s on your LC?
Supposedly pretty easy with a sanding wheel. I didn't try that and it ended up being a nightmare by hand, gave up and took them to a machine shop to be lathed out. Should have done that from the start.
To be fair, SCS does say that the F5 wheel is the only direct fit for the 80 series. They have always designed wheels mainly for Tacomas and 4runners, and now offer some Tundra models too. It just so happens that several of the 6 lugs ones will work on the Cruisers but they do require boring the center hub. Not saying it's your "fault", but it is pretty readily available info if you do a bit of research before purchasing.@Box Rocket I agree! I really wanted those in bronze, due to my impatience I ended up with bronze BR6. Its so annoying to spent almost $2k on a set of 5 wheel and have to bore them out and not be able to run center caps though..... I'm pretty pissed they were not very clear about that on their site when I bought my wheels.
I'm also a big Toyo fan, I don't run anything else and every rig gets a set. Mine are 37's. Running 38s would be a whole nother can of worms since they tend to run big.
with the exception of the F5 wheel, ALL of the SCS wheels have a small lip in the center bore for center cap to snap into. The lip is quite small (maybe 1/8") but it won't fit over the hubs on Land Cruisers. So you MUST remove the lip if you want to run SCS wheels. I didn't think it was a big deal at all, but some have had more trouble than others. I had some inexpensive sanding drums that go on my cordless drill. Took me about 20 min per wheel to use this tool to sand off the lip on my SR8 wheels when I had them. Or you could take them to a machine shop and have them turned on a lathe. I didn't want to deal with the hassle and cost of that and the sanding drum worked great, just took a bit of time.
I'm becoming a Toyo convert as well. My current 37's have been very good. Only tire I've liked as much is the Goodyear MTR Kevlar, but I think the Toyo is wearing better. Only downside is the weight. They are heavy but have been excellent otherwise. I've got about 30k on mine now with lots of life left. I have a few chunks missing but that's my fault not the tire. I may have been a bit "aggressive" offroad before getting on the clearance issues sorted completely.

For sure, best tire ever IMO. I've had over 10 sets on diff rigs here and even if I go nuts and start chunking them they've never failed me but have punctured others. I agree on the weight however, your current stance is my fav and I was close to 13.5 but chose to shave some weight this time.I'm becoming a Toyo convert as well. My current 37's have been very good.
