275/70R18 stock height with 1.5” wheel spacer

[thetransporter]

Hi, I am planning to put 275/70/18 A/T tires on my stock LX470.

As seen on other threads, they will definitely fit with no rubbing.

Unfortunately for my set of rims, I used the ones from 2013 land cruiser 200. The front center caps won’t fit unless I put spacers on.

Now my concern is, given the stock height with AHC still on, will the 275/70/18 along with 1.5” wheel spacers fit on my LX470 without rubbing? Need help, thank you so much!

Get the 1.25" spacers. You'll be fine. Worst case, you may....may....have to hammer the pinch weld. I ran the same tires with the 1.25" spacers and never had any issues.

Thank you for your reply! Appreciate it! May I ask what is the pinch weld? And where can I see it? Thanks again!

Just run 6mm slip on spacers like I mentioned in your other thread if your only concern is fitting the center caps of the 200 wheels. You’re less likely to rub with them, they’re safer than bolt-on spacers and they don’t alter your scrub radius all that much.

You think 6mm is enough? I checked a while ago it’s like an inch thick. Hmm.

I think it should be enough as long as you flatten the grease cap. Here’s how the center cap mounts with just flattening the grease cap, no spacers installed. With 6mm spacers it should mount flush
