I know you’re asking about tire interference but you should also want to confirm front brake clearance. My set of 17” Icon Rebound Pro’s clear my front calipers with just the smallest amount. So small, in fact, that those inner wheel weights have made contact with the caliper before. It’s very tight unless those weights are flattened as much as possible, I’ve asked the tire shop to mount them outside of where the caliper is.
Check this dimension as well.

Why is it worthless? But now that you’ve provide a great photo what are your thoughts?
What color?
I just hadn't heard of that particular wheel before and was curious what it looked like. Now there's a picture so others wont have to look it up.
As for the topic of the thread, I see no problem with the specs of the wheel/tire combo assuming the wheel barrel fits over the brakes, but lots of people have run ICON vector5, so if it has a similar shape to that wheel, should be fine.

ok yeah that makes sense. The well weights are one of my concerns on what I've heard is an already tight fit with front calipers. I'll probably just go 18" in a different wheel like the Recon SLX
If it fits then it fits and won’t be a problem. That extra inch over the 18” does make a difference when airing down and, in my humble opinion, the 17” looks better.
If I had a picture of the clearance I’d post it but I can get one in the morning when the sun comes up.
These wheels caught my eye as Dissent had been using them for their portal builds.
Very disappointed in the low 2750 lb load rating that IMO is not sufficient for the 200-series. Icon wheels don't have the best reputation as it is with a number of cracked wheel examples on our boards.
Goes back to my opinion with aftermarket gear - hard to make better than stock, very easy to make worse.

I have ICON Rebound 17" wheels and I am happy with them. One other benefit is this wheel has the correct center hub diameter for the LC200. The tire installer has to be careful where they install the wheel weights, but it is not a big deal.
I am running a 2" lift and 285/70R17 tires.

Is part of the limiting factor the 5 lug wheel?
Method Race Wheels have 2650 lb limit on their standard wheels and the HD wheel has 3310 lb limit. These load ratings appear the same for their 5 and 6 lug wheels.
Looking at some of the other aftermarket wheels, they have even lower load ratings of 2500lb (NOMAD, fifteen52, etc).
I get you are referencing factory Toyota wheels versus aftermarket, but I have not been able to find a load rating for Toyota wheels to compare.

Yes but Methods are at same load capacity, might even be 2650. This is another reason I’m going back and forth with the Anza vs Icon Recon Pro which is 3200. Then again I don’t carry much weight. Really want a plug in play without really any modifications and also tire options non E load.
I don't know specific loads but in terms of class, the LC/Tundra 5x150mm / M14 bolts is higher capacity than the 6x139.9mm / M12 bolts configuration. So to your question, no the 5 lug is not the limiting factor.
The ICON Vector has the same 2750 lb rating. There's been multiple examples on this forum, across multiple wheels, and multiple owners of cracks and failures. This definitively says the load capacity of these wheels, or ICONs suck, or both, is not enough even if we don't know Toyota's OEM wheel rating specs (I'm still looking for if anyone knows?) I mean how many OEM wheels have we seen fail/crack?
This is why I went with the Icon Rebound Pro, 3200lbs load rating. The beat retention bolts are a neat feature but can cause the tire monkeys to get confused.
But yeah, mission creep and causing new problems is always a risk with any modification.
