Can we discuss spacers??

[vjr021]

Wanting to make some small changes to my stock, LX570 with the factory 22’s…. Going to find a replacement tire that is slightly more aggressive looking and was thinking of doing a 2-3mm spacer for a slight push.

Pros/Cons?

Even worth doing? Or do a slightly wider tire instead…

I want slight changes not a huge difference, so I can maintain highway ride quality.

Thoughts? Pics if it helps?

2-3mm isn’t worth it IMO.

 

[TeCKis300]

Agreed. 2-3mm won't make a functional or visual difference on a large cruiser.

Any pictures?

Removed my comment as I was thinking about coil spring spacers... Never mind.

Factory 22s?

Do you know the dimensions of the wheels? 22x8.5" maybe?

And current size tires? Maybe picture of sidewall?

Wow! How did I miss this? Those are my favorite OEM style too.
I had no idea they ever rolled out 22s from factory. Kind of crazy actually.

Bigguns!

There looks to be a few available tire sizes that could be made to work on that rim. Depending on how aggressive you want to go. Looks like all these sizes can be found in Toyo AT3s which I highly recommend.

1) 33X12.5R22 - 32.5" x 12.5"
2) 285/50R22 - 33.3" x 11.7"
3) 295/50R22 = 33.7" x 12.2"

The first one would probably drop right in without any work at all. They would be very similar to the Rock Warrior 285/70R17 fitment that uses the same optimal offset. And the LX handles width without a problem.

#2 could be made to work with relatively minor effort tucking and trimming some fender liner plastics. Recommend pairing with a .75" spacer. Less than the work I needed for wider 33.2 x 12.3" tires here

Trimming Wheel Well for Larger Tires

I'm getting ready to have my 305/55/20's (33.2"x12.5") mounted tomorrow. I know there will be just a tad of kissing of the tires to wheel well liners at the front deflector and trailing mud flap. Wanted to see pics of what you guys have done. As a reference, I will be using my stock 20" LX570...

#3 can definitely work too depending on how much effort you'd like to put in. Recommend 1" spacer here. Refer to link for potential additional modifications, but wouldn't really need this much

Fitting Full Fat 35x12.5 on an LX

Join along as I work through making the necessary clearance mods for 35x12.5R20s tires on my LX. These Toyo AT3s spec out to be 34.5" x 12.5". If you have any suggestions, I'm interested in hearing. Note that this fitment is specific to the LX as it's easier to fit larger and wider tires...

Holy crap that’s awesome thank you!!!

Those 22s are not OEM. Looks like Chinese knockoffs.

Lol, oh. Time to ditch those then.

Wow,

so are you saying that the LX didn’t come with 22’s as an option?

 

[lx200inAR]

There was a 22” TRD wheel you could special order, but that’s not what you have. Also, that style wheel (in 20” form) came on 2013-2015 LXs. Looks like you have a 2008-2012.

 

[luke27617]

+1 to what lc200inAR said. I think this design that came on 13-15 LX is one of the best looking but came only as 20". I liked them so much that I even put them on my previous 16 LC.
