Low miles are overrated. I bought a 1998 with 70k miles 10 years ago and I’m pretty sure I’m the one who did all the maintenance……. Low miles without records is risky. Buy one with decent service history and rock out
I have a 2002 LX470 and I went with the 305's in matte black. 17x8.5 with a 0 offset. Tires are BFG K02's 285/70/17. Also bought their extended center caps for all four wheels, their locking lugs, and valve stem caps.

She lives! Steering and braking is 100000% better than before, it’s actually a drivable car now!

Spent the weekend in socal with the kids and front driver window decided to jump out of the guide rail and refuse to close all the way up, had to do a pitstop at the nearest harbor freight in North Hollywood for some basic tools. Done in less...
