A question of rock warriors on lx570, if I have to replace my 20” oem with rock warriors, do I need any offsets and what size tire should I put on the wheels so it stays within oem spec without need to heat mould or cut plastic?

I am looking at two potential options to replace my 20” oem wheels.
1. With 21” oem wheels from 2019 LX
2. Get rock warriors from 2010 tundra
Is there potential pitfalls with rock warriors I am not aware off? Like offsets I need to install for either?
RWs were an OEM fit for the 200 series. They were specified with K02 LT285/70R17 tires.
Those are wildly different options.

I just made the switch to 285/70/18 Falken Wildpeak A/T4W. 2021 with OEM 18 inch wheel. This is really pushing the limits of the stock suspension and not for the faint of heart. I have already cut some and will need to cut more at which point I think it will be fine even off road aside from a kdss rub I can live with. I am stock other than the OEM coil spacer in front. Running 1.25 spidertax on the wheels.
I have some added weight with sliders skids winch and roof rack. I think this tire would be easier to run without that added weight.

Is there a "go to size" "easy button" for 20" wheels on the LX?
The LX has the ability to take wider sizes. An easy go to size recommendation would be a 295/55R20 (32.8"x12.2"). That would be a great all around tire that is upsized in height AND width. This is a size that can be found in P and LT flavors.
Some other sizes:
- 285/55R20 (32.4x11.7)
- 285/60R20 (33.5x11.5)
I don't like the often used 275/55R20 and 275/60R20. Why give up width to gain height when there are win win sizes above so the vehicle is balanced in clearance and cornering traction (which it needs for its heavy weight). These narrower sizes also often require more pressure to meet load ratings, which is then giving up ride quality.
I personally like the 305/55R20 (33.2x12.4) which I ran for many years.
Excellent summary.....
Just to be clear:
The following are no rub, no mods on most LX's, correct?"
285/50/20 (obvious, due to original stock tires....)
285/55/20
What about 285/60/20 ??
And I assume 305/55/20 tires are in need of some sort of modification for no rub, correct?
What all did you cut and how is it 6 months later? And are you still rocking no lift (except for the front coil spacer)? Lastly, are the spacers necessary on the wheels for them to fit? I have a 2013 and would be using stock wheels prob...

Yes still no lift. I cut just a couple inches off the underside of the front bumper and then notched out a tiny bit of plastic in the rear of the front wheel well that I probably didn't even need. I don't have any mud flaps either and haven't for years.
I get a little bit of rubbing if I make a sharp turn going downhill while hard braking but honestly can't even tell where exactly it is hitting the front plastic, it doesn't seem to be leaving any marks/trace. I may cut some more eventually but haven't been bothered by it enough to do it yet.
I do think you probably need a spacer. I haven't tried this setup without one.
One more question… what sliders do you have and do you like them?

Bud built. Many on here run them. They are rock solid and have saved my bacon a few times. Easy touch up with a rattle can.
Unsolicited and unsponsored +1 for BB sliders.
+1 Also what I have and very please with em
