Yeah, a bit much for me too. There are other wheels at 40mm and that's probably what I personally would do. I do appreciate other folks trying new things in a new car, so we can "leachers" then learn and do something that we might like better. The 17's might work, but careful positioning of the weights is needed.

Tell more about the careful positioning of the weights thing??
Tight fit between the brake caliper and the wheel with a 17" wheel

Probably depends on the wheel. Wheels with a barrel that does not choke down in the area over the brake caliper will have less problems. I'm not really even sure, based on pictures that have been posted here, whether the clearance is all that tight.
The LC300 makes the LC250 look like a 4Runner
Or does the LC250 make the LC300 look like a Sequoia?
Mine just landed in Mississippi

Looks like it may have literally "landed". I didn't know the rooftop propeller was an available option!
Seriously, congrats! That's the color I'd go for.
Any day on mine, freight status. Same spec.
Those port installed door moldings are interesting.
SET and GST always loading up cars with port installed parts.
Yeah I did not have a call on any of the adds
Looks like those were $300 and I did not even notice until you pointed them out
Same story here, no say on the add on parts. This is the first 250 I see with the door moldings. Personally, not a fan. Saw them on the accessory catalog a few weeks ago (I'm an employee.)
SET seems to be installing Nitto tire on almost every 250 they distribute. Thankfully, GST has steered clear of that so far.
I’m getting some 275 Mickey Thompson ATs added at the dealer to replace the ice cream truck tires before I have to look at them
I’m giving this to my daughter for college graduation. She’s a teacher. Maybe those will keep her from getting door damage every day in a school parking lot

I've got some forced add-ons too, but at least it's mostly stuff I want. PPF, the optional metal skid plates, etc. Only thing I'm getting that I don't want is the door edge guard.
I’m sure it can be heated up and removed if I don’t like it in person
So is the 100 coming back into rotation…or going to Will and his getting sold down the road?
I’m going to see if he wants one with 100,000 less miles for the next two years but I doubt he cares. Likely for sale
Please post pictures with 275s on. Curious what that looks like. The stock tires are laughably small.
If I was building it for myself I’d push it more but I want this to just have a better look. My daughter is used to driving a cool Land Cruiser
First sighting for me of the new LC here in Juneau.

Is the door edge guard clear, like extra thick PPF? If so and it's anything like the ones on our Silverado horse hauler, they're actually the best thing I never wanted (until I had them).
