Aftermarket Wheels

[ryanjl]

Early on, there were some posts indicating 17" wheels work on the LC250. In practice, however, it looked like those wheels stuck way too far out past the fenders.

Is there any consensus on 17" wheels that work with the proper offset? It appears whether a particular 17" wheel clears the brake calipers may come down to the barrel design on the particular wheel.

I never found any wheels that I would want to put on my LC that had the same offset (+60 or +70) as OEM. The closest I could find was +40.

There may be ones that work but I didn’t like the look so I didn’t delve into offsets. I’m sticking with 18” Icons to get better clearance around the caliper. I figured the extra half inch of sidewall on each side doesn’t buy me as much as the extra half inch around the caliper. My 2 cents.

 

[ryanjl]

I don't really get the concerns about distance from the brake calipers. If a stone is small enough to get into that small of an area, it will get crushed between the wheel and the caliper regardless. .5" of more space around the caliper doesn't make that much difference.

And, if the barrel of the wheel is designed correctly, the space around the caliper could be the same as the OE Toyota 18" wheel.

A question I forgot to pose in the original post is whether the LC250's wheels are hubcentric, and, if so, what the bore size is.

Plenty of 17’s have been fit. You need a large positive offset which is opposite of the -12mm offset I’m running on my 80. Not many options out there yet. I don’t know if hubcentric, have not found any indication either way.

They are not. Going through this right now. They are lug centric

I have a few (very few) 18" options with large offsets on the tire spreadsheet I put together. The 17" Methods have a few mm of clearance, a little too close for me. I'm hoping they will come out with higher offset 18" bead grip wheels (the 700 series). If you don't mind some poke, the 18" Methods with an 18mm offset will work. Otherwise they have a couple non-bead grip wheels with closer to stock offsets.

Edit: and if you have more near stock offset wheel suggestions, point me to the specs and I'll add them.

To answer the original question more directly, Method 700 series in 17" with 35mm offset will fit nicely, with about 5mm clearance from the brake caliper, per Method. Whether or not you are comfortable with 5mm clearance probably depends on where and how you drive and how paranoid you are.

Regardless of caliper clearance there is a rock in the water crossing that will fit the gap. Comes down to luck no matter what if one gets jammed in there. That’s the way I look at it.

Wheel bore size is 95.1mm, OEM wheels show to be hub centric on the wheels for the TNGA-F platform. May need to run hubcentric rings to get the proper fit.

I’d really like a 1” lift in the front end before I start tinkering with tires and these MRWs I have sitting in the garage! I have 2 sets to correct the stink bug look on order but no ETA for delivery. Very frustrating

What offset?

 

[CarcaineProblems]

Here’s what’s crazy! I ordered these and figured they be worth a try. The NEXT DAY I get an email from method that my order was cancelled, so I assume they figured that offset wouldn’t work

No charge on my cc

Then they just show up at my door when I was out of town. I literally got a ring notification as UPS was unloading them. Two days later when I got home, they were still on my porch

Then I get an invoice from MRW. I called them yesterday but haven’t heard back

Will these work?? I don’t know but I expect them to NOT work and MRW to have them shipped back

They'll stick out about 3" more than the stock wheels. And clear the brake calipers by about 5mm. But they'll probably fit.

The 0 offset is going to be real aggressive. Taken from the GXOR FB group - these are 18x8.5 +0.

Looks like a skateboard.

Eeeeww, gross!
