Has anyone gotten in touch with bencc lately? I need some adapter rings for my Icons.
He has an email linked to his profile. He didn't respond to my DM so I emailed him and got a reply.
Thanks. I emailed him and ordered what I needed.
Just curious what locking lug nuts people are using? Gorilla locks?
I'm running some lugnuts I got off Amazon. They are holding their torque so far
Did anyone figure this out? I'm running spacers now on the stock 16" wheels and really like the look of the vectors, I don't mind continuing to run the spacers though.
Do these fit eight the rebound center caps?
I just wanted to share this.
Icon Vector 5 in bronze. I ordered them in Oct '21 and just received them late April '22.
17 wheels
Spidertrax 1.25 spacers
285 75r17 bfgoodrich KO2
2.5 inch OME lift with higher spring rate on rear
Only issue I have is the pinch wheels behind the front wheel. Getting that corrected next week.

Looks awesome !
Iron Man Foam Cell Pro lift
Icon Compression Wheels
BFG KO2 in 285/70/17
No spacers
Still not sure what im going to do about the front center caps. Kind of wish I went bigger on the tires but wanted to stay Load Range C

I've had 3 sets of Icon wheels over the years. They are fantastic.
Yes they are 8.5 I believe that is the only option in these for 100 series bolt pattern

I can confirm that the Vector 5s will only fit with at least a 1" spacer. I ended up ordering the Spidertrax 1.25" spacers from Slee. There are two separate item numbers, one that only fits the front, and one for the rear. While I am not a fan of spacers, without, the hubs will not clear the wheels. I am contemplating having the center section of the Icon 5s machined out to clear the 100 series hubs. I may take my spare to a local machine shop and see how it turns out.
As others have mentioned, fittings 35"s (315/70/17) is not for the faint of heart. With the spacers and the +30 mm offset from the wheels, serious work is needed on the front "pinch weld" to get the tires to clear. The name is kind of deceiving, it's not really a weld, but instead 3-4 different sections of sheet metal folded together at the end. When you cut and trim, these sections are no longer joined, so I ended up welding them back together. A little primer and rubberized undercoating later, and things are good to go. In trimming the finder lining, you create an area where wheel spray can get into the rear portion of the fender, the rubberized coating should keep corrosion at bay. If any, at least now you can get in there with a hose or pressure washer and keep it clean, Before, this area was just packing mud and I couldn't even tell.
I still need to get some extended bump stops for the front (Wheeler) and bump stop extensions for the rear. Even with those, I think I am going to have to cut the top portion of the fenders because at full stuff, they will likely impact the fender lip. Getting rid of the spacers would help.

Liner before cutting
Hidden debris, only a matter of time before this created a rust issue.
After plenty of cutting/grinding/welding
All cleaned up

Even though 34"s fit without much hassle, that extra 1" from the 35s really makes things more difficult. The width is a factor too.
Trixx - is this green mica? Looks sharp, thinking of repainting my 98. Getting some Black Rhino’s installed and looks like the icon cap might fit . . . Will get measurements to Ben
Thank you all for the info!! I’m in search of a new set of wheels and tires for my stock 2000 lx470 with AHC. The chrome of the OEM wheels are peeling causing a slow leak.
I saw a set of icon rebound for sale around me (17x8.5, +25 offset). But wanna see if they’ll fit before I pull the trigger.
I saw most of the posts are for Land Cruiser or with a lift. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I really would prefer no mod to the LX.
Thank you so so much in advance!
