The new powder coat is like having new wheels, they hold up well to everything but rock rash.

That will brush out- but, with all those big rocks at RC, Im thinking wider tires are smarter to protect the wheels a bit. Too bad we can't go lower than 17" rims with the GX brake size just to get taller sidewalls.

You got to watch going to wide of a tire with stock rims your tires will rub on the upper control arms.

You would need wheel spacers or a different rim.

Spacers will get you away from the UCA but into the body mount.
Different wheels and adjustable UCAs is the ticket.

Back on track here... this is a pic thread afterall...

Is this where offset comes into play as well?

Is this where offset comes into play as well?

Yes, a positive offset will help. That being said, I’m running a 17x8.5 0 offset wheel, 285-70-17s, SPC UCAs, no UCA rub, no body mount rub. Thinking about bumping up to a 295 or 305 when it’s time to replace my current tires.

295 or 305 sound awesome... how are road manners? And snow?

Road manners are great but it’s all relative. The GX feels much more planted and stable with the same suspension setup than it did with the FJ.
Snow is fine, tires are getting a little long in the tooth so I’m sure I’ll slip a little more this winter.
It is a pic thread.. last spring before sliders but you can see how well the 285 w/ a 8.5 wheel fills out the fender.

Looks great. 2.5" lift? beadlock wheels?

Yep, with Metaltech long travel rear, no rear sway bar and fake beadlocks.

A few trucks ago, but this was my first Toyota. 2006 Sport V8 with a M416 based trailer I built out on the White Rim. I'm doing some new digital paintings so if you'd like please follow along on Instagram

First "mods" on the GX! 275/70/17 KO2s and painted Sequoia wheels.

Your ride looks great. How did you paint your wheels and what exactly did you use?
