Cool, where do you look this stuff up? 
That means the "style" steelies are actually lighter than the alloys?

Depends which alloys are you talking about. Alloy wheel weights vary.
I am not sure if you can look up exact wheel weights on the internet (haven't tried) but this info is used in my line of work often so I do have it. (I work for a Toyota supplier that deals with tire&wheel assembly).
I will take your spacers, PM sent. Thanks!
Onewldcat changed his mind.
Spacers still available-

What's the diameter size of this setup? Any triming or extra work needed to run this flawlessly?
I had 275/70R18s with 1.25” spacers before, so I had already removed the front mud flaps and done the fender liner mod. To go from 275/70R18 to 305/65R18 required nothing more. It will just kiss the KDSS arm only at full lock, but that’s it (my 275s also kissed the KDSS arm on full lock) No other rubbing. I have not stuffed the tires yet, but it does’t look like they will hit fender when they travel upwards.

What size spacers?
I decided to go from AT to a more highway friendly setup.
Black Rhino Kunene 20x9 25et (gloss black) wrapped in Michelin Defender LTX M/S 275/55-20
I had slight rubbing on the inside of my front mud flaps at full turn so I used a heat gun to push back the shape - no more rubbing.

I am considering Methods also. I am looking at the 305 NV because you can get them in 18x9 with 25mm offset. The 703's only come with 0mm or 35mm offset. Which were you going to get? 0mm seems pretty extreme. See here for some pictures of 305's which are close to the 703's.

If you check this post it looks like he is running the 0mm offset, it looks pretty aggressive. 0mm offset would be like running 2"+ spacers. Not to make fun of the guy but I always imagined the guy in the picture is thinking "Oh shoot, maybe 0mm offset was too much..."

It seems like 1" spacers are really popular - I would rather just get a 25mm offset wheel and not have to deal with spacers.

Whereabouts are you located? You could buy my +25 wheels and tires though they are 17s. I have a mint set of 5.
I’m looking to get into a +35 or +40. I have a fantastic setup but the offset is slightly too aggressive for my ride height. My 313s look to be discontinued but the real ticket is they are methods lightest wheel ever. 23.6 lbs.
Thanks for the links but those pics are not very helpful and of course a slightly different wheel to begin with as you said.
Thanks, located outside Seattle. Looks like you are in Austin Texas - the other side of the country - LOL. For me, I just got the truck a couple of weeks ago and I am not sure what I want to get and how radical I want. I am considering everything from stock sized tires on a set of "Craigslisted" Tundra TRD take offs, to going with 35's on a 0mm offset. Here she is, in all her stock glory... Incredibly capable just stock.
I just got 285/70/r17 BFG KM3s put on my 17” Rock warrior (RW) wheels. I used to have the BFG AT KO2, but unfortunately (or rather… fortunately) the KO2s were out of stock everywhere. How do I update the database rather than entering a new line?
Also, my next upgrade will be Old Man Emu (ARB OME) BP-51 (BP51). Probably wont get a larger tire unless I read a convincing argument on how much better it would be.

Subject: winter tires
Although I don't live in a "severe" winter environment per se (greater Boston / southern NH), we do go on ski trips and other ventures up north, and some years / some times the roads can get rather icy and/or snowy here. As a result, I 'want' to go to dedicated winter tires on my OEM 18" wheels, and to put my on road / highway / mall cruiser all season tires (Michelin Latitude HP Tour) on my new TRD Pro BBS wheels for spring/summer/fall.
I'm a long-time Michelin fan, so my default choice is the X-Ice Snow in 285/60R18 116T, which seems to have the load capacity needed for the LC200. However, the Michelin website returns "We have no result for your search" when I search for tires by vehicle year/make/model. Tire Rack shows this tire as one of the three they offer for the LC200, so I'm assuming it's a glitch in the Michelin database implementation. The other choices from Tire Rack in that size are the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 (rated 116R) and the Yokohama Iceguard G075 (rated 116T). The Bridgestones are almost the same price as the Michelins, while a set of the Yokohamas would be almost $350 less.
I'm inclined to just go ahead and order the Michelins, but before I do does anyone have any recent / current experience with any of these three brands in the stock size on an LC200?

Narrower is better in the winter. I run 265-60/18 on a set of tundra take offs as my winter set up. Right now. >2 feet in the last 36 hours and 15F. As for brand, don’t think you can go wrong with blizzak or x-ice but the best are Nokian.

Can you explain why a narrower tire is better?
Narrower tire will cut through the loose snow down to a hard surface for traction on the actual hard surface. A smaller contact patch also translates to increased force (vehicle weight) being applied to the contact patch, which does improve traction in most scenarios on-road. Narrow is good for a winter road tire. As fat as humanly possible is best for an off-road winter tire (i.e. when you'll be driving through snow deeper than your axle).

Makes sense! Thanks
Short answer. Narrow tires Cut through lose snow down to the solid surface underneath. Wide tires are prone to float which is bad in normal (non off road) winter driving. Why the semis rule the haul road on 225’s
For off road winter driving up here people run tires more in the 475 width. Like these.
