LX470 with 295/70/18. Spacers?

[littlehandegan]

Going to run the Ironman suspension kit, 2006 LX470 18's and 295/70/18 terra grapplers (34.7). (Mine is a 2000 LX)

Am I going to need to run a wheel spacer up front? I have a 1.25 from a Tundra in the garage.

I had to with the same size trail grapplers. I also had to trim a small bit of the plastic at the back of the fender well up front.

How wide of a spacer did you have to run?

I would think 1.25 would work......but no more than 1.50 inches....I thought about same thing as almost went with same size tires you are getting....but chickened out.

Mine are 1.25 inch. I think if you go less than 1.25 inch you have to trim the nuts, which I didn't want to do. also, I am only running them up front.

295/70/18 Terra Grapplers will fit WITHOUT a spacer. I just put them on my 2003 LC a few weeks ago. Pics seen here: (Scroll down about half way)

You have to trim a very slight amount of the front wheel well plastic. Thats it. There is not much space between the side of the tire and the upper A-arm but they fit perfect. I just got back from a 2 week trip offroad to Colorado and they never even rubbed. Soo so glad I went with these over the 275/70/18 size that is so common.

My 2 cents...


EDIT: BTW, I have a 2.5" OME Lift
