LC200 or LX570???
2019 LC200, thanks sir!
Edit: I am getting 47psi using the calculator but that seems high. Sound about right?

Got it!
The RCTIP (Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure) for those LT285/55R20 117/114T Load Range D tires on your LC200 is 48psi F/R.

Thank you!
Hey all, I've looked all over the forums and scrolled for countless pages here trying to locate the answer to this question but I'm unable to find it, hoping to get some feedback on a setup for the 2019 LC I just picked up.
I ordered Evo Corse 17x8 wheels and I'm torn between an OME lift and stock stance, can anyone speak to the max USEABLE tire size with the factory set up vs a standard OME set up? I won't necessarily be rock crawling, but I'm in SLC and Moab is nearby/always tempting me to do something "fun", so I don't want any rubbing when I'm actually using the tire.
*I'm ok with minor cutting or a body mount chop if needed and reasonable, I just don't want to get into cutting the fenders and all of that 35 stuff.*

The first thing you have to deal with when going to sizes over 33" is your kdss and UCAs. Lift doesn't really matter much in that case. You need to check the offset of your Evo Corse wheels vs whatever tire size you want and what you have to do to not run into your kdss bar. You can fit 35s without touching the fenders, but you'll have other things to deal with before you get there. 285/75R17 is a popular size tire for the +25 to+50 offset crowd. I don't have kdss to deal with, so I'm not much help. About 7 million threads on the topic though. Here's one of many
34s vs 35s on the 200
I recently went through this journey in my build thread, but I figured it might be easier to locate in the future on its own as more members buy and build trucks and try to determine which size tire is appropriate. I think it's safe to say just about everyone wants to go bigger when they get new...

Hey, thanks for the input, I honestly imagined that this would be a 33" tire situation (coming from Tacoma's the effort required to get anything bigger is a nightmare). I have looked through so many of the threads over the last few days but often seems as though I'm looking at 18s and varying degrees of spacers, and some of the lifting doesn't seem necessary for the tires... I believe that they Evo Corse are +40, but then I came across some information where they were offering custom offsets. I ordered from Mainline Overland, and I didn't ask for anything custom but I'll confirm.The first thing you have to deal with when going to sizes over 33" is your kdss and UCAs.

I didn't look at the thread that you provided as it seemed bigger than I wanted to go for a vehicle that will not serve primarily as a crawler, rather a camping/mountain biking trip rig, but I'll give it a look and see if it helps or inspires additional questions!
285/70/17 will be plug-and-play. 285/75/17 is also very easy.
I did see @CharlieS post his set up in the thread that was linked a few posts up and he is running the same wheels I ordered with 285/75r17 and it appears he is lifted. This is likely as large as I'd even want to go based on everything that I am reading, so it's good to know that it would be pretty straight forward to do with the wheels that I chose.
Is there an "ez button" size for the 17x8 (40) Evo Corse wheels without a lift that has been identified?
Currently in that heavy deliberation phase and I may be overthinking things but the Tacoma I recently sold REALLY suffered when I put on bigger tires and a little bit of weight. Obviously a completely different beast but I want to be mindful of the overall drivability.

You are correct, I am lifted 2.5" or so with Kings.
You're not driving a Tacoma any longer. Welcome to the world of a hefty v8.
285/70r17 is an 'oem' recommended size, so you can run that without too much trepidation at +40.
Anything bigger than 34" I personally would recommend a gear ratio change, but many many are loving 34s without gears.

285/70r17 might be the sweet spot if it doesn't rub or require suspension work!
I've got a few months until the Evo Corse wheels arrive, so that will give me some time to put the rest of the build together, depending on weight added I may need suspension either way.
Appreciate everyone's insight!
Any issue rubbing on the KDSS?

Yes, I have a rub at full right lock.
I too came from the Taco world last year and you can not compare the Taco V6 to the LC V8. Good grief not even close. So. Much. Power. And in your case you had a 3rd gen. Those rigs are notorious for being underpowered. If re-geared to 5.29's then they act right. Sad but true. On my LC I am running 285/75/17 with a lift and fully loaded going through the Colorado mountains the LC will go as fast as you want it to up the mountains. Gas mileage hurts but that is why I have a daily driver. FWIW with the lift, 285/75/17, and a Toytec alignment there is no rub on the KDSS for my LC.
Seriously though welcome to the LC club, it's a whole new world. Pic of my Taco during sale for reference.
I'm running 285/75r18 (35") and I find the power and gearing acceptable. Can still pass traffic at 9k elevation without breaking a sweat. The handling, on the other hand, did change pretty drastically with that tall tire. Still dialing in a tire pressure that will produce a Lexus ride quality, and I'm finding it's low, which also exacerbates the handling equation. I have an LX570 (no KDSS), so clearance was not an issue.
I went with 35's because I have a small penis
, but I'm beginning to understand why people say 33-34 is the sweet spot for the 200.

I found a big difference between 129Load E and 121Load D 35" tires in this respect. The 129Load was very finicky on tire pressure, 36lb cold was where I ended up, 35lb would be too soft, and 37/38lb too hard. The 121Load has a lot more acceptable pressures - can go from 32 to 37 (I like 34) and it isn't much different, firmer, but not harsh. Just watch that freeway/hot temp as you go lower psi- you don't want more than a 10% increase in hot over cold pressure (3 or 4 PSI at these pressures).
