Good to know clearance won't be an issue. Compound matters more than width, but for what it's worth, these are within 10mm of the stock 275/50/21 tires in terms of measured tread width. (8.7" vs 9")

I’ll find out next week if 35x10-17 (255/85-17) will fit on forged RW reps (17x8 +45). My hope is that the narrow size will give me UCA clearance, particularly since I’ve seen evidence that folks have successfully run 275/65-20 on stock LX wheels, which is closer to the UCA than where I’m at...

Anyone with a black LX run laces out? I'm thinking of getting a set of 35x11.5x17 KO3s and that's finally an option for me!

I ended up just getting another. Outside of the 300 series LX, nothing else offers three rows and similar articulation/suspension sophistication. And the 300 series felt marginally smaller (even though on paper, some of the cargo capacities are larger). I will say the new Armada Pro-4X drove...

I'm heading out to pick up a 2016 LX today (to replace my beloved 2011 that met an early death via Cybertruck). As I was getting things ready to leave, I got an alert that a 2018 LX was listed with sub-60K miles, former BaT car, for $47K. Immediately second guessing my purchase of a 2016 for...

Not terrible, not great. Agree the frame looks great, but the splash areas (front suspension and rear axle) look like they'd have you cursing if you ever attempt to do some work.

If I did run the 285/75/18s, it would be on something like an 18x8.5 +35, which seems sort of ideal? I'm trying to avoid poke and everything I calculated with respect to kingpin offset/scrub radius seems to imply that +30-35 is ideal for a 35. But then again, maybe the extra 0.5 inches isn't...

I previously had 285/75/17 on my LX, which was an easy fit with some fender liner work. Not being able to leave well enough alone, I'm wondering if 285/75/18 would fit, which is on the "tall" side for a 35 but fairly skinny. I really do not want to do a body mount chop and if that's needed...

Great tire choice.

I’m usually one to say “that’s fine”. In this case, I would pass.

I need some skinny 35s. I'm really contemplating dropping from 285/75/17 (34) to 255/85/17...

Is ABS an option on the manual 2UZ GCC 100s? And any reason to avoid ABS?

Agree re tire profile. Some folks were having trouble clearing 33s (265/70/18) with Falken AT4Ws which have a more square profile, but my Dueler A/T Ascents clear with substantial room.

Do you have any issues clearing the UCA with that wheel and tire combination? I’m contemplating a 275/70/18 on OE F sport wheels (+20 rather than +25), and have read that some folks have UCA contact (albeit with the stock +25 wheels).

Do you have a lift? Do you have wheel spacers or non-OEM wheels? A lift may impact geometry, particularly if you need to adjust camber (due to the interaction between caster and camber on this platform). Wheels that are further outboard either via spacers or offset will have impacts on scrub...
