Thanks! I know you don't want the tire sitting to far outside the wheel well but would anyone recommend spacers for a little wider stance? The trucks above look on point and didn't break the bank on the additions.

Hard to believe I've had the 200 for 4 months now, loving it more everyday! I tinted the front windows a few months ago and put some 275/70r18 KO2's on it Friday, so figured it was time for a few new pics. I went back and forth between 275/70r18's and 285/65r18's for several weeks, my buddy owns a tire place and let me check out both sizes next to the truck before making the final call. Ultimately height won out for me, the 275's are noticeable taller than the 285's and width appears to be similar to the factory 285 Dunlops. I took a picture of the two side by side (unmounted) that may help others make their decision in the future.

We went to the beach this weekend so I've put about 175 miles on the KO2's and so far am very impressed. Minimal road noise, no vibration or steering wheel shimmy, and very smooth on the highway. I can definitely tell they are stiffer than the stock tires, especially hitting bumps in the road around town. Overall there has been a very minor decrease in ride quality, but that is more than overcome by the change in the look of the Cruiser - much more rugged and I gained exactly 1" in height on all 4 corners. No rubbing on the road in forward or reverse even with the wheel at full lock. According to my Garmin GPS the speedometer is off about 2 mph at 55 mph and 3 mph at 75 mph, odometer appears to be about 6-7 miles low every 100 miles.

Tarheel40 any issue with the 275/70/18 front tires rubbing?

Nope, no rubbing at full lock in forward or reverse - at least on flat ground. Haven’t done a lot of flexing so can’t speak for that. I’ve added the OEM Toyota coil spring spacers since these photos were taken to level out the stance and still have no rubbing.

OEM Front Coil Spacers Installed

I love the 275’s but they are a little narrow for such a wide truck. I do like extra the height compared to 285/65r18s and it’s still the size I would get tomorrow in KO2s but if they ever release a 285/70r18 I’ll switch them out - as many have found that’s a perfect size for the 200 though most running that tire have a 2” lift, might not fit with with just the OEM coil spacers.

This....

I know this is the Lexus Version, but I would choose the exact same tire/wheel combo.

I love 275/70/18's and don't have any plans to go to other sizes. I really like the purposeful look of the truck and the side wall is more important to me than 10 mm of width. It turns a lot of heads because normally when people put big tires on their truck they look a little "bro-rig".

Old post, I know! But what lift did you have on the front end of your 13’? I saw 2721 rear, I love the look. Thanks!

Sure! Icon Stage 2. I don't know what the settings were but at least 2"+.
