I think oem wheel weight per corner for an lx570 ranges from 77 lbs to up to 84 for the later years that had 21’s.
Oem 20” wheels weigh 36-39 lbs and have +60et offset I think.
The downside to going with 18s or 17s when replacing wheels is that your wheels aren’t going to be as stiff/resilient to deflection. Supposedly towing and highway maneuvering are better with bigger (20”) wheels, on road comfort (and Offroad flexibility) gets better with smaller (17”) wheels.
The downside to going with 20’s and increasing tire height is that Unsprung weight per corner goes up considerably. plus you have to add spacers to try to keep scrub radius appropriate.
I don’t know that there is a lightweight 20” thread here.
I’ve come across 3 lightweight 20” options (excluding volk’s which are exorbitantly expensive, have inappropriate offset, do not meet minimum load ratings for the vehicle, and don’t readily list their weights).
Venomrex vr-501 (20x9 +18et 28.3 lbs 2600 lb load rating)
Method 313 (20x9.5 12, 25, 40, or 45 offset 31 lbs 2650 load rating)
Granite alloy ga460 (33 lbs)
Is anyone aware of any options I’ve missed?
Note: 275 60 r20 (33”) tires offer almost identical sidewall of oem 18” land cruiser tires…and with lightweight tires/wheels, you can actually get unsprung weight under oem for lx570-venomrex plus 33” cooper at3 4s is 72.6 lb per corner)
