Just a heads up I ordered a set of Titanium this week from Discount Tire using a price match, they showed in stock online, but they turned out to be 6-8 weeks out as they have a shipment on the water. Other companies might have them in stock…

I ended up going with these a few weeks back on our 2016. Really happy with +25, and given the sale Icon was having I couldn't say no.

What size tires did you go with - truck looks great.
Tire size 285/70/17 BFG KO2. Only modification I made was pinning back the mud flaps after attempting to mold them back with a heat gun failed and I didn’t want to trim them. No rubbing since. Color is titanium. Pick up a set of ET lugs for peace of mind.

What size lift?

Roughly 2.5. Icon Stage 5.
Appreciate the heads up...not in too much of a rush but can't wait to fill the gaping wheel well left behind after my lift.
Great looking LC. Planning on doing the same. What mods did you have to make to get the 285/75/17’s to not rub?
What are you guys doing about mounting the Vector 5's underneath the vehicle in the stock spare tire location? I tried mounting mine underneath however the wheel bore size is too small to slide the spare tire chain assembly through. So right now I have the stock 18" wheel in the spare location but in the even that I blow a tire I'd like to at least mount the Icon's in the stock spare location so I don't have to put it into the vehicle. I'm not running a rear swing out tire carrier so that is not an option.

I think there is a difference on 2016+ for the spare tire carrier. I remember reading about similar issues for the Rock Warriors. Anyways, mounting my spare just worked on my truck without any mods or effort.
Get a pipe cutter and cut the metal cylinder above the t bracket shorter. No need to remove the cut piece off the chain, but you can if you have a grinder.
Agreed. The vector 5 fits perfect underneath my 2018. Although it is on its way out shortly.

You have to cut and modify the chain assembly, that’s what I did at least.no need to remove it just grab an angle grinder and some touch up paint. One of the ears need to be cut back.
One thing that really falls short with these wheels is the valve stem location.
I have ripped mine out or damaged it on three different occasions.
No just moving the spare out from underneath and putting on a new rear bumper!
Any update on your ETA? Ordered mine (bronze) at the same time directly from Icon. Just spoke with them on Friday and they said they’re looking like second week of March before they ship. I have resisted buying something else in the interim because I know I’d regret it. They really are the best looking wheels I’ve seen on an LX/LC.
