Black Rhino wheels & KO2s

[doctorres112]

Looking at getting these for the family LC200. I've seen earlier LCs run these wheels, but the size was a slight concern so I'd though I'd as the forum.

The reported wheel size is
18x9, 5x150 w/ a +12mm offset. Discounttire.com indicates they will fit.
Black Rhino Warlord Wheels | Multi-Spoke Painted Truck Wheels | Discount Tire


The tire size is
275/70/18. Discount also indicates these will fit. The tire size chart on these forums also indicate this is a good size w/ little to no rubbing.

I'm not overly concerned w/ a little rubbing, and will remove the mud flaps if needed.

Does anyone here see a problem w/ this set-up?

Thanks,
-Chris

You'll definitely have to lose the front mud flaps and tuck the front wheel well liner (or cut it). Otherwise should be fine.

Thanks for the response, you expect the rubbing to be caused by the offset of the wheel? Do you feel it would be a better fit w/ a stock tire size on that rim?

Also, just followed you on IG! I've been on the T4R train since I got mine, but have been searching for some LC200/LX IG users once we got the wife's LC200.

Thanks,

I’d suggest inquiring about the load rating of those wheels. Don’t see it listed in the spec.

Will do. Thanks!

Correct. I'm running Tundra SR5 + spacers netting out 35mm and I scrub at full lock and in reverse. It's super minor though.

This is with rear mudflap removed.

The Load Rating for those wheels is only 2,250 pounds (Fitment | Black Rhino Wheels and Rims).

Stock LC200 wheels/tires are designed to support at least 2,512 pounds.

I would strongly suggest going with a stronger wheel.

HTH

P.S. If the wheels/tires are going to be used on a "family" vehicle that will spend most of its life on the roads, then I would also strongly suggest staying with the stock tire size (285/60R18). ANY larger tire will result in poorer gas mileage, slower acceleration and worse braking performance.

Sounds good, and thanks for that info. It's a family vehicle but we will be doing some overlanding. All said, if the load rating isn't appropriate, we aren't getting those wheels.

For now I think we will go with spacers and potentially the stock size in KO2s.

Thanks again for the helpful insight/info!

I’d stay with the OEM wheels. Hard to beat their strength and weight. Paint them black if you want that look- they look good painted.

Yup, that's the plan. Found a guy local that will dip all the chrome accents and wheels in a satin black for $200. Having 4 kids in tow, $200 is well worth my money, having someone else do it, as opposed to me trying for 1/2 the cost.

I'll be sure to post pics of the progress.

Last question, I hope...

I have the spidertrax spacers on my T4R, but I saw these on Amazon. Anyone using these or can anyone validate their quality vs spidertrax?

Just food for thought but I would wait to see how the KO2s look before you put spacers on. They appear to fill the wheel well more due to the sidewall design. I will probably get flamed by saying this but I’m not a big fan of spacers especially if you want to keep the ride as stock as possible. A lot of engineering went into the 200’s suspension geometry to give you the best ride/handling possible. However, it’s your 200 so add them if you want but you “may” not need them with the KO2s if you are going for look only.

Thanks for that input! I'm going to get the tires from discount and will be doing so before the spacers come in. So, it sorta works out that way.

If your local guy is in San Antonio can you send me his info?

You will def not need any spacers with those wheels. They will poke out as is.
