Just a couple of thots looking at the photos...

Those wheels (offset) look waaay too wide.
Sticking out well beyond the wheel wells. Would be very surprised if they clear on turns/compression. Wondering if it introducdmed issues and the new owner lost interest...?

Also... The extending side steps appear to reach so low as to be rather useless...

Don’t mean to knock stuff for the sake of knocking it...but I suspect a buyer of this truck will face immediate needs for remedies to what look like some former owner build missteps.

I just received an email about it. It has Icon suspension and apparently the 35”s don’t rub. It must have had some inner wheel well cutting and spacers

Ya, I would still take the “no rubbing” claim with a grain of salt.
In a parking lot, my 35’s didn’t rub either. But under full articulation or compression...only bump-stops and some pretty compromised mounts & alignment tricks let me get away with it. They still rubbed, too. Just no catastrophic damage.

If 35’s are an itch you wanna scratch, man I totally get that. I scratched the 35 itch for two years. But for me...everything just feels better now on my 34’s.

Maybe bring those tires inward or go narrower, but if not, maybe consider flares or rolling fenders to help contain gravel. Otherwise, windshields behind you are gonna get whacked pretty regularly.

:meh:But meh... Just my 1.5 cents....:cheers:
 
With 35's it needs to be done right..... A la Slee's KDSS bracket. It may be fine. But Don't mess around with that and get a redneck work around. (spacers, cutting, etc. ) Just be careful if you go for that one.
As @luke27617 said...price is high....spend a bit more coin and buy new if you are spending that much. It is a pretty one but there are others. Remember...newish LC's don't exactly sell fast.

On the other hand everything is negotiable. That is a beautiful LC. I'd check out the technique they used to fit the tires and wheels.
Then maybe start negotiating. Get a price on a newe one and throw it in their face. :)) Don't get in a hurry and become a pain in their ass. Haha

It's a nice looking truck .. and that is just the asking price. I have the same color and I could not find it with the tan leather when I went looking, just in black leather.

Question on the 34's?

I have a bp51 lift .. with stock size tires at the moment.

Which "a" arms are best and what size spacers are needed to go to 34's? and any other mod's needed for a 2016 for 34's?

I am quite skeptical regarding the no rub claim. I also run a full Icon suspension and Method wheels with a 0 offset. My 34" Toyos just barely rub at 3/4 lock in reverse, IMO 34" is the ideal size for going as big as you can without compromise. I don't think I've ever heard of 35" tires on our rigs without some more significant compromises. This may be fine for you just don't believe the claim that it doesn't rub, that's a classic statement of omission, rub-free in a straight line doesn't tell the story.
 
I had 34”s on my 08 and 15 LC and it did rub the arm until I used an offset wheel. It probably doesn’t rub(street driving)if they added an offset wheel with spacers and a Slee KDSS bracket but I really don’t like spacers and would just put a 34” KO2 on it unless Slee or another high quality shop did the work and just wear the tires out and then drop down to 34

Looks like a Icon stage 5 or 6 which is pretty expensive $6k+ not including install,so the cost of LC is not bad considering.

Ya... And if you decide you don’t like the offset... nothing easier to swap out than wheels & tires... Could always sell them and put on whatever you prefer basically on day one. I wonder what else has been done on that rig that might not be visible. Gear swap?

pretty sure the offset on those methods is +18
 
Boo Doo Design did the work on it (Stage 6 icon setup)and he built it for his wife to drive around apparently. They do some really cool custom mods. I emailed the shop to find out what exactly it is they did. Will hopefully hear back.

now I’ve heard on here some people don’t like icon. Are they that bad?

Anyone near Buford, GA who would be willing to look over and test drive this LC for me?

If they're the 17" model they could be +35 (doesn't look like it) or +0 as well.

I rubbed with 285/70R17 (33's) on my 0 offset wheels, but it's fine now after some moderate fender liner work. 35's on +18 or +0 offset is definitely pushing it. I personally would go anywhere from +25 to +40 if I was running 34's or 35's.

The build seems inspired by the Vogue Industries builds, with those Method Con 6's and the T-Max E-Boards (also sold by Tyrant 4x4).

I'm too picky about my builds, in doing it myself and individually selecting each part, that I have never seen a dealer or previous owner built 200 that I would personally buy.
