Just saw my cruiser's twin (with 50K less miles) on BaT. I'll be interested to see how much it goes for. Some days I feel like the market has cooled down and others it feels like 2021 all over again

Ah yes, KMCs are very nice. For my LC its going to be either the KMCs or Methods when I make the jump to 35s.KMC Mesa! Tires just showed up today. Giving my UPS guy a workout lately

35x12.5r17 actually
didn't want to get into modifications for 37s just yet. I read almost every thread on Mud about 37s and went back and forth for weeks. haha17x9, 4.53 BS, et-12. Should be pretty flush with the fender flares.
They're also forged, so they claim they're 26 lbs each but I don't know if that includes hardware. Need to break out the scale and check.
sold for 20k! thats what i paid for mine that needed alot of work lol

Yeah market might be cooling down! But that’s good news for buying land cruisers in the future. Bad news for insurance coverage, I might have to switch to agreed value

Threw on a wheel today to double check the fitment before I mount the tires. Gonna be flush with the fenders.
Gonna need bigger brakes to look good behind there!
Also just to be scientific I compared the weight of this wheel and an unmounted stock wheel.
21 lbs stock:
Little over 30 lbs for the KMC, add maybe 1 lb for the hardware.
Not too bad for a beadlock. I'm trying to keep the weight down a little. If Toyo is to be believed:
Toyo MT 315/75r16 - 81 lbs
Toyo MT 35x12.5r17 - 78 lbs
So this new setup will add about 7 lbs per corner, not too bad.

you should check out coopers stt pros. I ran them on my montero when trying to save weight.
LT315/75R16 - 69LBS
LT315/70R17 - 67LBS
I run firestone MT2, which also have similar weight to toyo.

I second the stt pros.

That’s wild, are those E rated?
I like Coopers a lot. I think I had 4 sets of coopers across 2 trucks and never had a flat.
I wanted to get machined wheels for the Tundra too but there were only a couple options and I didn’t like them so much
I wish the stt pros came in 37x12.50r18.
I've wanted machined KMC wheels for the Tundra so bad but nothing in stock. So I settled for the Ray10s. There's a local guy by me with a Tacoma on polished KMCs and I drool every time I see it.
Yes, both brands are E rated
STT Pros are solid.
Also consider the Maxxis Razr MT, although its a muddie its not loud at all

Beautiful setup! You can't go wrong with Toyo MTs. They're heavy, but they're great tires. I have 37s and don't hear them on the highway. I never had Copper STT pros, but they seem to have a solid following. Are they as sexy as the Toyos? Of course not,Threw on a wheel today to double check the fitment before I mount the tires.

I think the little square holes in the lock ring are going to be a pain to clean

Oh yeah the whole wheel is going to be a pain to clean. I was just thinking maybe I should ceramic coat themI think the little square holes in the lock ring are going to be a pain to clean
