Anyone running these with the machined finish? Also, for stock height suspension, what's the biggest AT size tire I can run without any mods or trimming? Bonus points if you're running these on a Black LC200 2016-2021!
 
Is the offset “18mm” or “-18mm”? Anything much bigger then stock like LT285/65r18 (~32.6”) may rub. There’s a lot of discussion here regarding “how large of a tire will fit”. The search function or a google search of Ih8mud will turn up hundreds of pages detailing what has worked and what rubs and where.
With such an aggressive offset you will probably encounter rubbing with anything bigger then stock. Minor trimming and molding of the fender liner will eliminate the rubbing.

+18mm! Are you saying they will rub on a 285/65r18?

I am also looking at Method Wheels - 308 Roost - same +18 offset or stock TRD Pro Wheels. (not the forged ones)

A common aftermarket tire size here seems to be 275/70r18 but I'm also looking at size 285/70r18 - slightly taller and wider
 
2018 LC, NV305 here +25 and they sit out perfect for me. +18, tire would be out to far for my liking, heres a picture of +25

Love your LC! What size tires are you running?
295/65/18 But I also have a OME BP-51 lift and still rubbed at first till I busted out the heat gun. Now is all good, for me I also noticed that when I changed from the factory wheel to the 18x9 they balanced out absolutely PERFECT, I could never get a good balance with the factory wheels

I would recommend keeping the offset above 25mm. There are plenty of options in this range. I am happy with my 18x8.5 w/ 45mm offset wheels. I have used LT275/70r18 and LT285/65r18 and both of these sizes did rub, A very small amount though.

Care to share where you heated and how? We are running 275/70/18's on the factory wheels with Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers stock height at the moment. I too have issues getting the factory wheels to balance but I haven't gotten the wife on board with changing the wheels out just yet. I am working on it because I am not a fan of running wheel spacers like we are doing at the moment.

Wow - looking good!!! What front bumper is that?
 
Here Is a good thread regarding fender rubbing.


I have the Dissent Offroad bumper. Nice and light, minimalist aluminum bumper. Very happy with it.

Front insides were the rubbing problem, simple fix
