New wheels/tires installed today, and wow has my AHC ride improved going from 18s to 17s. Wheels are the Nomad Saharas in 17x8.5, 0 offset. Tires are Falken AT3Ws in P265/70R17. The tires poke just a little, you can definitely feel the road manners of the vehicle shift to more of a stable nature. Less top heavy with the now wider track from the 0 offset, it is MUCH more enjoyable to drive on the pavement. I wasn’t expecting an inch of rim diameter to create such a stiff ride, but the factory 18” LX wheels with Michelin tires just absorbed road impacts like crap. This 17” setup rides like a dream, can’t recommend the tires enough after driving them around for a few hours today.

Nice looking wheels, aftermarket looking but nothing crazy. I really wish more places made wheels for our trucks in a better offset. I ended up going with Icon wheels. I like them but the main reason was for the +25 offset. I think everything in this bolt pattern is 0 offset for Tundra maybe

High spoke count 17' wheels, AT tires on a late year LX470 in Cypress Green Pearl with the rear spoiler. I love it!

Wish I had that spoiler you've got...

Believe it or not your rig has been an inspiration! Haha I was about to buy your same wheels but Nomad had the 25% off sale so I figured I’d try the new guys on the block. Currently on the fence about a color matched rear bumper like yours, it looks really sharp!

Ha! Well I'm honored. I like color matched if nothing else because it forces you to use actual auto paint with a clear coat. It's pretty cool when it's all cleaned up and the armor shines just like the body panels. I've had a bunch of non-enthusiasts say things like "I didn't know Lexus made bumpers like that." Then I say it's all aftermarket and metal and I just painted them to match. The response is normally equal parts confused and amazed. It's always interesting chatting with strangers when I drive the LX anywhere.
 
Any regrets with the 0 offset? I’m fine with fixing fender trim if that’s the most these needed with a 265 width tire.
 
@novamarc wow, I love the look with the near color match on the wheels. that looks like just the right amount of poke for what I want, but I don't think I would want to step back down from a 285 width tire, and I have to assume that would give an extra 1/2" or so of tread sticking out... guess it's time to break out the tire size calculator and see how close any available 265's get to a ~33" OD...

I really wish Nomad offered their wheels in a higher offset than 0 for the 100 Series. That's quite a lot of poke!

Some of them, but yeah we don't get the whole line in all the colors in a better offset for us.

Thanks man, I do love the look as it sits now, but I also wish I could more easily clear a 285. There’s a guy on here with a white 470 with the same wheels in white and 285s and he had to do a substantial amount of work to clear 285s and I believe it still technically rubs. Comes with the territory I suppose.

So I contacted Nomad today and asked about the 503 Sahara in a +25 offset. Just like they do with the 501.
They got back to me to say that in a few months they are going to release the 505 wheel in a +35.

That will be nice! I went with the Fifteen52 Analog in a +25

Where did you find them in a +25? I am only finding the Fifteen52 wheels in 5x150 with ET 0

I did a double take on that when I saw +25 so I checked and only saw them listed on the Fifteen52 website in black and white.

I really wish they had the TurboMac in +25mm when I was wheel shopping. Very happy with my Nomad Convoy 17x8 +25mm though.
