Just fitted some TRD Pro BBSs. With 275/70/18s. Fits like a glove and shedding 15# per corner has made braking phenomenal!Welcome!
Couple thoughts as you look into tires. There's no need to stay with 275s or even 285s on the LX. The LC is more constrained in tire width than the LX. Arguable, you'll want at least a 285 for good cornering traction with taller profile tires as they'll give up quite a bit of handling to your original wheel and tire package. That's not to say you can't have your cake and eat it too.
The easy button in my mind for a mild tire size upgrade is a 285/65R18 @ 32.6" tall. You can toss that on any OEM LC or Tundra wheel and it'll just work. Or with an aftermarket 18" wheel in the +35 to +50 range.
Exactly. Or even running without a front flap. It's not as extreme down here, but I find it pretty important to keep the tires within the tire well. Kicking up rocks and debris is very real on the freeway or off-road. More important pulling a trailer with the possibility to break glass or denting aluminum. It was important to me to keep the front flaps even with 35s.

Thanks for everyone for their feedback and advice. Going with close to OEM fitment was the goal and these Tundra wheels fit the bill!
