Here are a pair of Hutchinson's with Toyo MT 35x12.50r17's on a 2000 LX. These photos are just doing a mock-up of the setup on my LX. I need to figure out what I am going to do suspension / lift wise to get these things to fit under full articulation. Only downside to this setup is weight.

That looks great! I'm planning on putting 33's. Now I need to look into if I can just slap these on without removing my AHC yet, to let a few more paychecks come in to do the suspension.

These look like WA-0550

But they dont list these to fit the 200s. Weird.
How much of a lift do you have on the 200 and Icons to get the 285/75/17 fit without any issues?
- AHC Removal.
- Max out front torsion bars with Uniball UCA's and new shocks. (UCAs get you an extra 1" of down travel)
- Timberin Extended bump stops or hockey pucks glued under your old ones.
- Trim the inner wheel well slightly behind each wheel.
- Dose not look like you will need to run 1.25" spacers with the offset on those.
- Diff Drop kit with skid plate lowering spacers.
- Extended Sway Bar Links with new sway bar bushings F&R.
- New coils and shocks on the back to match.
- Extended diff breathers if you play in the water.
- 1.5" body lift with front and rear bumper lifts (you can get full kits out of AUS).
- Spare CV inner and outer boots on hand (at least twice a year).
- New Steering Rack budgeted after a year or two.
- New lower ball joints and LCA bushings after a year or two.
- New Bearings after a year or two.
- New CV's in your future depending on age / how you wheel.
... if you dont want to rub and want to keep your articulation you have to do the body lift & UCA's. If you are happy to limit your articulation you can add hockey pucks but you are going to be limited in both your up and down travel. 35's can be run but they do wreak havoc on your front end, and even more so with heavy wheels. Ask me how I know
All worth it to run those bad boys! Man I want some but shipping
It's gonna be time to replace the current BFG A/T's on my 17" Rock Warrior wheels pretty soon, so I've been looking at different tires and sizes. Came across a set of Dick Cepek Mud Country tires in 33x12.5x17LT. Aside from the brand and style of tire, has anyone ever tried this particular size? It's just a little taller than a 285/70/17 (32.7" vs actual 33"), but I've yet to come across any instances where someone has actually tried a 33x12.5x17.
Do you have them available in 16x8 for my 80 series land cruiser?
I don't think I'd go that big. 285/70/17 max with the likelihood of light rubbing with 1" spacers up front, unless I can find a slimmer spacer that still works with the RW wheels.
