LX570 spacer help

[tonyholland00]

Hello just purchased new to me LX570, i have tried searching through all the old posts without any success. I put new BFG KO2 27/60/20 on the OEM rims yesterday but would like to have a bit of a more aggressive stance. I probably should have purchased the 285/55/20 tires to help some but even with those I thought I might want some spacers.

My question is this. What size Bora spacers should I get to simply get a more aggressive stock look to my rig? I plan on keeping my OEM rims. .75" , 1" 1.25" and if I add a spacer with these 275/60/20 tires will I introduce some rubbing. ( I can handle some massaging of the flaps if need be)

Thanks
Tony

I'd go with the 1" Bora (or equivalent) spacers. That will give you an effective offset of about 35mm, which is pretty close to ideal. It's possible for there to be interference between the wheel's hub face and the stud/lug nuts that hold the spacer to the hub when you use a spacer smaller than 1.25". But according to this thread the Bora spacers and supplied lugs work with the 13-15 LX OEM wheels. Lots of people run the 1.25" and it will give you a "more aggressive stance", so whichever floats your boat, but your offset and therefore scrub radius will not be as good as with the 1" spacer.

Thanks for the link to that thread...I unfortunately dont like the last post in that thread saying the OE wheels dont match up although Ryan says they do . Ugh...

That's mud for you...

There are some earlier posts that suggest the 2013 don't fit as well. Ryan R is the only dissenter on that opinion, so they probably don't work without some help (either exactly the right spacer and spacer retaining nuts, or clearancing wheels). Removing a bit of material from the wheel probably would not be a big deal if you wanted to stick with the 1" spacer, but maybe a little bit of work to do for 20 studs (+the spare).

I did BORA 1.25” spacers on my old 2009 LX570. Here’s the video with a lot of detail.

I did 1.25” Spidertrax spacers, first on 275/70/18s and now on 295/70/18s. It’s not super aggressive. You’ll likely get a little rubbing at full lock, but not ripping anything up, and an easy massage to correct if you can’t stand it.

I've got 1" bora spacers and 275/60r20 winter tires look fine. 285/75r18 summer tires work fine too (obviously with some work to clear the 35's), But the 1" spacers do the job nicely for the stockish size and the big size.
