Went with the Toyo Open Country A/T lll in 285/60/R20. Rubbing on passenger side UCA. 1.25" spacers go on later today. I've ordererd Bora 1" spacers as well so stay tuned for follow up with both.
Initial ride quality impressions are good.

Went with the same tires on my ‘17 LX. Trying to decide what size spacers to get.

My thought is the thinner the better as to not affect offset too much. The concern is that the studs are too long for the 1" spacers without trimming them. In other words they run in to the back of the wheel. I won't know if the releif in the back of the wheel will make it a non issue until I try. The 1.25" spacers are going on later today or tomorrrow AM as I just attempted to run an errand in the truck and the UCA rub is too severe to safely drive it in my opinion.
If anyone can comment on running a 1" spacer with the wheel in my previous post, please do!

I’m thinking all I need is 3/4 inch. I’m with you on minimizing the spacer width. What are the consequences on getting shorter studs or cutting them? And just get another set as a backup?

No consequence just a pain in the ass!
Yes, they are. Reach out to @Eric Sarjeant if you have interest... I purchased a matching 5th wheel as well.
I really like your wheel set up and am pleasantly surprised how good they look on the LX570.

Sick! I know you’ve posted elsewhere but a brief explanation of mods to make that work would be cool.
Thanks! I left the TOYOTA center caps in that came with the wheels. It’s made a handful of people double take... when you know, you know.
Sensor lift + additional .5-.75" with AHC offset, 1.25" spacers, move front liners forward (or ditch the liners altogether and get a Dissent front), trim the front side of the running boards and break out one of the mounting brackets, and finally heat gun above where the bracket was. I chopped one side of my body mounts just to see if I could, but it wasn't necessary.
Honestly, not that bad at all. Also, I'm running stock gears
AHC Height Offset Utility How-To
Height Offset can adjust a maximum of .8", so you move the physical sensors first, and then you have .8 to play with. 1mm of movement on the sensor equates to 2mm on the rig. In theory, assuming there’s enough stoke in the shocks, you might be able to add .8” on top of the “sensor lift” method...

35s are really that easy. The LX swallows monster meats all day. (did I just type that?)
I'm convinced that with a minimal bodylift (.5"), body mount chop, and some minor plastic clearancing, that 36" could be in reach. My mods are in place and I'm on the fence as to how far I want to take it, yet still have solid towing performance.
Yes definitely do it. If I hadn't already cut my rear bumper cover I'd consider a body lift.

Ok so I've got my spacers on and the UCA rub etc is long gone. Now we've got some liner rub. I removed the front mud tabs or whatever they should be called, as they were rubbing too.
I did move the bolt on my front AHC brackets a bit but cant tell if I yielded any lift. Can anyone who has done a front only "AHC Lift" chime in as to how far they slid the bolt in the bracket? I'm just attempting to level the stance.

You can loosen the nuts and slowly make adjustments while the rig is running and measure real-time, or turn off and move/measure as you like.
Try to find level ground and use a reference point that works for you. I measure from top of center caps straight up to the fender.
Lots of more info in the link I posted above...

I can't remeber... Are you asking because of the visible threads on the nuts?
There was still threads visible when torqued regardless of the pic. I'm comfortable with the engagement and plan to check/ retorque in a week or so. I'll add red loctite at that time.
Yea, was surprised to see threads visible.
You torqued to 130ft-lbs?
Here's what mine look like.
