LX570 wheel well "adjustments" for 35s

[TeCKis300]

Interesting solution. Pair that with some of the Icon Vectors and it would look sexy with all that meat. (sounds weird)


I can't recall the wheel offset but they are standard Tundra TRD take-offs. They were cheap and essentially new when I got them. I did a COVID quarantine art project and made them into LRD wheels - an idea I got from mud somewhere - but I don't have pics yet.
I use 1.25" Bora Spacers and have no complaints. Turning radius is still impressive and I have no fears parallel parking or turning around on trails.
I've considered starting a build thread, but I suck at taking pictures so I'm afraid it'd be too boring. Not a bad thing, but when I go out and wheel or work on the truck and I forget to take pictures because I'm having too much fun or too focused. Also, I'm no photog.

Wheel parameters get more critical when fitting such meats so I was particularly interested in your offset. Tundra wheels paired with the 1.25" spacers puts you at 28mm offset, which is just about perfect.

Those bigguns put you in monster truck territory. Def monster truck.

Isn't it interesting how the LX variant is the one now more readily capable of fitting big meats. They both rock, but there should be no need for the BS of "if you want to mod it, get a...".

Awesome pics on your instagram @dubyahard . Throw big ol tires on. Get out there. Lots of height and clearance to tackle aggressive stuff even without the benefit of armor.

Thanks!

Made some anti-rub mods this morning based on all your advice (really appreciate all the suggestions!) and got the LX aligned. No rubbing so far other than in low, at full lock, turning up my driveway. On the road to LCDC now but will post about how I did everything later.

How many of you guys have body mount chops (BMCs) running 35s?

 

[grinchy]

Nope

Nope. I know @RiDE had to but he's running "full widths" or 35x12.5s

 

[TeCKis300]

Yeah, I intend to run full size 35x12.5s also. Which is why I'm looking deeper into this.

Just looked @RiDE build, and he's running 17x8.5” +10 wheels. I recall another car with BMC running +0 offset wheels.

So seems like tall isn't particularly the issue. Nor width to some extent. Low offset is really what causes too much swing into the BMC?

Wonder who will be the first to run the next size up "36s", full fat tire, as 35s seem too easy to fit - LT325/60R20 35.4 x 12.8

 

[grinchy]

If you can keep your offset in the 25 to 35 mm range, you should be able to do this with only a UCA to bump the wheel forward 1/2" or so. I think pretty significant forward liner removal will be necessary, but it's just plastic . . .

 

[grinchy]

I guess it is debateable which is easier/better - UCAs to reposition away from the body mount, or just do the BMC. A UCA requires reattaching the AHC sensor and messes with alignment on the CV more, a BMC just requires some angle grinder and welding time.

 

[grinchy]

Some trigonometry on how much more linear impact into the wheel well that additional 0.75" of one side tire width (12.5-11)/2 would be interesting to look at.

I think to do greater than 35" you'd need to get UCAs and trim the front. I feel like I have mine molded as far forward as you can go without relocating holes or just trimming. The way the front of the liner wraps down under the bumper, I'm not sure it'd work. Sooooo... new bumper?!

So you going to pave the path for 36"?

^I really do want to try and believe it could be reasonably easy to make happen. It would scratch my curiosity to build to this level. I have all the tools to make this happen including welding.
A weekends worth of work for:
- mild plastic clearancing
- 1/2" body lift
- body mount chop

Things making me think twice
- daily performance in acceleration, handling, and braking
- MPG efficiency
- tow my heavy trailer with good performance and stability
- my stock 20" wheels are 20x8.5". 325/60r20s are spec'd for 9 or 9.5" wheel widths minimum. I think I could get away with this if I weren't towing so heavy.


@JadeMonkey we need more pics of your beast!

sounds beefy...depending on your annual off-road adventures, it may be better to do the mods for the larger wheels but ‘daily‘ that gives the utility and another set for the trails?
My only question is: how would an LX modded for 36” look running anything smaller?

having asked that, please do this!

You might be better off with 37x11.5R20s.... that 325/60 isn't a true 36 its a 35.4
Don't let the person that just started his build thread recently beat you. Gonna let a new guy one up ya?! hahahaha
(I'm only here to encourage)

 

[TeCKis300]

^LOL. I'll need to re-gear the re-gear again.
(I'm trying to seed ideas for the next guy to take this on )

Told you to go to.88

Now if we can only convince you to like big meats. You're already all setup for it!

I’m considering 295/65r20s - the STT Pro comes in at 35.4 tall and 11.7 wide - 8.5 rim approved. I am sticking with stock rims (clear the BBK) so that size might be perfect.
