LX470 with AHC 285/70/R17 fitment (1 Viewer)

Hi Guys
I decided to stick with the stock 17" Lexus rims but after doing a search cant find any info on fitting 285/70/R17 and currently running 265/65R17 so would this tyre be too large or perhaps fit a 265/70/R17 AT I am not a hardcore off roader and don't plan on becoming one for my 60th birthday and also plan to retain the AHC as I like the ride.

285/70 will be good.

thanks for the reply. Do you think it will have a noticeable effect on fuel/acceleration at all?

275/65R17 = ~789mm rolling diameter
285/70R17 = ~831mm rolling diameter

My n=1 is that at 100-110km/hr on standard sizing I wouldn't want taller gearing, which the taller tyres would create. Also the standard size tyres give you more options and probably cheaper pricing.

It will have an effect but I would say the pro’s outweigh the con’s.

I don’t know about in AUS but in the U.S. a 285/70/17 is probably the most popular “off road” size tire, there’s a massive amount of choice and competition in that size.

Is there still some room left? I wonder if 295/70/17 (33,5") will still fit on 8j et60 rims.
