200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database (7 Viewers)

[I6turbo]

I added a line for the LX 570 in the editable worksheet. Here are the specs.
Stock 2008-2011 10-spoke wheels
Michelin Defender LTX MS 305/50/20
1" spacers on front
1.25" spacers on rear
Front mudflaps reshaped with a heat gun to eliminate minor rubbing when simultaneously backing up and turning. The reshaping is an easy job, not much reshaping required, does not impact the visible area of the mud flap.

Contact area before reshaping the mud flap.

This picture immediately above shows the clearance after reshaping the mud flap (you could create a little more clearance if desired)

Here's the truck. It doesn't come through in 2-D photos quite as clearly but in person it looks dramatically different vs the somewhat under-tired and tucked in OEM look.

^Nicely done! I do agree that Toyota is conservative and their cars generally come under-tired. Big fender gaps and tires well inset from the fender. In contrast to European cars that aren't afraid to stuff their fenderwells with more aggressive fitments, or at least offer several fitment options.

@I6turbo, take some regular turns at 15-20mph as well as a few tight turns at 5-10mph and see if those gaps end up rubbing. I found I had clearance when parked but with a little body roll I'd rub on a turn sometimes.

What was your setup? What spacers? What tires? Did you re-shape the mud flaps?

With the spacers and the factory-size 285/50/20 tires there was no contact. So far I have a couple hours of normal driving time on the spacers and the 305/50/20 tires, hitting driveway ramps at an angle, turning at intersections, etc. When the wheel was turned about 30% or more I had slight rubbing before I reshaped the mud flaps. Since reshaping the flaps I haven't experienced any rubbing, but I don't have as much driving time with the modified flaps, so there's a chance that I still don't have enough clearance to avoid contact under all circumstances. But, there's still more clearance to be had by further re-shaping the flaps if needed. Next time I have it out I plan to find some more challenging situations to see if I can create contact.

So I put on my 285/60R18 P-rated Nokian snow tires this week. The first time after having the 2" lift on the truck. They look so small! Had me laughing. Not a big deal as I do like those tires. But it became immediately clear that doing a lift with "stock" size tires looks pretty funny.

Was this you, Dan?

PS. I wonder what sort of amazing off-road handling this guy's high-end suspension got him... haha

285/75R17 (33.8” tire) on +25 offset Icon wheels. No wheel spacers. Initially no lift, once I worked out the rubbing I added a lift.

I documented most of my setup in the “34s in stock suspension” thread. Removed the mud flaps but there was still a spot they rubbed so I had to hammer the bracket behind the plastic and then heat gun mold the plastic inward a bit in that same spot that was tight for you. Had to trim a bunch up front as well. But I am running a larger diameter tire.

My point was that I could tell where mine rubbed, I trimmed and massaged, and parked there was clearance, but when makin a turn I’d rub a few spots. You might be flexing and be fine with your clearance, just suggesting you swing ‘er back and forth to get the body leaning on a few turns and make sure you’re not still rubbing. Most of mine was at 10-15 mph on a normal right or left turn (especially right)

Alignment specs make a difference as well. A little more caster will solve the mud flap rubbing

 

[I6turbo]

Thanks for the additional detail. I'll definitely be checking over the next few days, and will report back here (so there's no misleading info in this thread and database) if there are any issues that can't be resolved by reshaping the mudflaps with the heat gun.

I messaged MSCruiser a while back about 275/70/18 KO2 fitting without issue on stock everything, but it hasn't been added and no response. Should I just be adding this to the editable sheet or? NBD, just wasn't sure if I was doing it wrong.

The database hasn’t been updated for many moons...

You can update the 2nd worksheet, Editable Database Copy, and it'll save.

Yeah, folks should go ahead and add their own info to that "editable" sheet. Periodically MSC or I will copy new rows over to the master sheet (locked for safe keeping, but not sure why someone would have deleted info previously).

You can now filter the DB, say to see all 315's or Ko2's. Just try to remember to reset to the filters to show it all again for the next Mudder .

Gee those BFGs look good! Are those rims +45 or +60? Would you see any issues with going +25 rims?

Stock wheels on 2015 LX

Hey everyone. I have been reading all of your wonderful and freely given responses for hours. I am still unsettled, and the spreadsheet doesn't have the info I am seeking either. I need to order new tires in a hurry, as I failed my Virginia inspection due to nails in my sidewalls. I currently have worn down OEM Michelins on my 2011 LX570.

I am considering ordering Defender LTX M/S 275/60R20 for my stock truck. I NEED confirmation that this won't present any issues with rubbing, shifting, et cetera. I am also open to the 275/55R20 if need be. I really don't want another set of marshmallows...

Thank you all for helping people like me make educated decisions with our vehicles!

I put BFG AT/KO's on my 2015. I went with 285/55/20 for the 10.1" thread width and the taller side wall. Fit great, feel great but kind of expensive. 275/55/20 is about $80 per tire cheaper both "D" rated LT tire's

I have been running the Defenders in 275/60r20 on my 2016 LX without any issues. I have 2 tires with 10k miles on them that are available as I’ve damaged the other two this week if you want one for your spare please feel free to contact me and pick them up. I’m located in Arlington, Va.

I'm pondering getting a set of GY Duratracs in 285/65R18 (load range D) for my '08 LC with a 1.5" OME lift and stock wheels. I looked at the spreadsheet and there are a few folks running the same size, but in different brands. Anyone running the Duratrac in 285/65R18? The local dealer doesn't carry them, so I'll have special order a set. I hoping for confirmation that I shouldn't have rubbing issues before placing the order. Thanks in advance!

They should work just fine.

LX570 tire size ?
So 275/65r20s would appear to be a 34" tire. You guys mentioned a lift is needed in a 200 series. How does this apply more specifically to the LX? Would it be fine around town and when off road just simply use the AHC setting into high to clear the larger tires when articulating? I ask because the same width tire size with 1" smaller diameter (275/60r20) or 33s, has been posted that it would clear with no rubbing on a stock LX..
