Boo471, How have the Plasti-dip wheels held up? Do they peel when going through a tire change?

They hold up pretty good but you will lose some when mounting new rubber on them. But just top it of with some more plasti dip and you are good.

I have gotten new wheels with correct offset so I no longer use the stock wheels.

Thx for input. I'll probably strongly consider this if the GX I buy has chrome wheels; I just can't run chrome wheels on an SUV (just personal taste). At some point I'd like to purchase another set.

What do you mean by "correct offset?" I've been trying to read/learn about these but that's a new one for me.

Offset & backspacing pretty much determines where the wheel sits in relation to your suspension components and fender / fender flares.

I finally Did the 3" lift toytech and now in my opinion comes the most important part of the project what size and what brand of tires to install . How loud are those Dynapro MT on the road at 55 to 75 MPH ? Lexus GX is my daily driving vehicle .

Nice! Yes tires are important. When it comes to not being very loud the Dynapro MTs are pretty damn good. They have their pros and cons on all other areas. But being loud on the road is not an issue. Mine is a DD as well.

My 470 gx is 2003 and my wheels are 17/7.5 wide i believe later model had 17/8.0 wide in one of the photos i saw you mounted your M/T tires are on what it seems factory wheels .is my assumption correct? and what size are those wheels ?

As i was looking at your GX pictures i saw that you have two different style of wheels in photos i like the look of the after market wheels you have .what brand are they and what is the size how wide are the wheels and do you have the same tire (size) hankook 285/70/17 on them as they were on your factory wheels.thank you
