Greetings to the good people of iH8mud.
I have been lurking here and reading your posts prior to making the purchase of my LX570, and only today I have decided to officially register on this forum. Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your endless contribution to this forum. It has greatly helped me to better understand my vehicle and to resolve many issues by just searching for the keywords here.
Previously, I owned a 2014 supercharged stage 1+ Audi A5 with ~418 BHP in Middle East. However, I had to relocate to Toronto, Canada and could not bring the A5 with me. After settling down here and evaluating my options, I have decided against going the sporty static life and to pursue the off-roading side of automotive.
Hence the purchase of my 2009 Lexus LX570. I am starting off with swapping the OEM 20" Lexus wheels with 18" Stealth Custom Series - Ray 10 in matte black (18x9, 5x150, 6", +25mm). I read as much as I could find on the forum, in regards to the limitations of going for an upsize tyre setup on the LX570 and the rubbing issues. As of now, I am considering to go with 285/60/18. Obviously, many of you have gone over that size on the LX570. My question remains, what procedures have you gone though to actually eliminate the rubbing issue. So far based on my understanding, its been a combination of doing the fender liner mod and using spacers. I am planning to achieve the following look (note the LC200 is 2" lifted and is running 305/65/18 via performing the 4runner liner mod where its pushed 1" forward:
And finally perhaps I should put a picture of my truck, right? (excuse its dirty appearance, its been snowing!)
Have you gone through any similar procedures while upgrading your tyre size? What size and what mods have you had to perform to achieve the desired outcome? What do you recommend?
