Oem wheel flares ? / will the LCs fit the LX

[cc1999]

I had a 2010 LC that came with wheel flares, I sold it about a year ago and have regretted selling it ever since.
I am now in the process of finding another 200, looking at both LCs and LXs trying to find a pristine ultra low mileage 11.

I have found a 15000 mile LX, that I like , but I really liked my wheel flares that came on my LC. I was thinking I could probably add them to the LX but have not found any info to be able to confirm that they would fit.
Anyone familiar with the OEM LCs fender flares, know if they fit, and if they fit where is a good place to buy them at a good price.

The attached pic is of my 2010 LC with factory fender flares/spats, I had also added some thin wheel spacers to bring the wheels out just enough to give it that perfect stance IMO. I want to do the exact same thing with that LX.

I know nothing of 200 Series trucks...but the port-installed wheel "flares" are wildly unpopular with the 100 Series crowd...mostly because of the wide shoulders already designed into the body line from the factory and the flare's tendency to remove factory paint.

If the 200 crowd is similar, you should be able to shake a set loose for the cost of shipping.

I can't imagine that they wouldn't be plug-and-play...but, again, this is really just a free bump as I am a good 3-4 years from being able to afford an '08!!

Do a google search for Artic Trucks. They have your fender flares. They incorporate them with a lift, 35" wheel and tires. I'm sure you could contact them and get all the info you need. Good luck

That was a great idea, I had done searches for fender flares, wheel spats. everything I could think of and could not find a single picture of an LX with fender flares. I had seen the artic LC with large flares and lifted etc. This LX doesn't look lifted and flares and wheels look really good IMO.

When you get your new rig and add the flares post some pic's

To use the port installed OEM Toyota LC Flares used on the 08-11s it looks like there will be a conflict with the LC running boards vs the LX boards.
But those on the artic LX flares seem to take that issue into account and look great. However those artic flares are shown on a 13-15 and I am looking at an 11, in which case the door moldings are different, and those artic flares look to either just flex over the larger door moldings of the 13+ or it maybe molded around it. In which case if they are molded around the door molding the 13s use then it would not work on the 2011 I am looking at.

Here is a 2011 Black LC with the OEM port installed flares

Here is the 2011 LX I am looking at purchasing.

I see the conflict with the OEM flares and the LX boards is here in the lower left side of the pic, the LC does not have that painted molded pc connecting it to the body.

You would need to order the lc rocker panels and sidesteps which are seperate in the US LC. Some GCC cruiser actually come with the molded side steps. Or you can do what i did and trim the flares to fit, with me they did end up rubbing the paint along the fenders

Thanks, that's what I was curious about. It looked like I might need more then just the oem LC flares and boards.

After seeing that Russian Artic LX with what appears to be very OEM looking flares, noticing the seem alignments all made to fit with the LX boards. I have been trying to find more info about how to get that Russian setup. I also like the wheels and tires on that Russian artic LX. The Artic Russian LX does not appear to be lifted, looks like a simple wheel tire and fender flare setup. That's thing just has the perfect stance and look to it iMO

That Arctic 200 is lifted, runs 33.5" tires on 20x9 +5mm offset wheels. I would not be surprised if the OE fenders are cut to fit those flares.

I would also not be surprised if the LC, port-installed flares were manufactured by Bushwacker. I don't think they'll fit an LX without modification. The running board is just one issue. The curvature of the front bumper is different too.

Thanks for the info. There were quite a few pics of Russian Artic truck on line. I would have swore it wasn't lifted, just different pics with diferent air supspension settings. Thanks for clearing that up.

So If I wanted to stick with stock wheels and tires maybe add some hub centric wheel spacers, would those Artic flares work. They don't look to be sticking out more then an extra inch or two. I think that was a good point about the front bumper/fender shape. I had not notice the difference befor, but I think your right they do look more tapered on the lower side of the front of an LX vs the LC. Those on that Rusdian Artic LX are on a 13, is the 11LX shaped differnt then 13LX ?

Extremelandcruisers.com in US probably have what you are looking for. Their range of flares are somewhere between Artic and Bushwackers and do not require inner guard mods as far as I know.

Bad quality image sorry but here is a pic of a set of Extreme Landcruiser fenders I happened to pass parked on side of the road a few weeks back. He had 285/65/18 Nittos on -10 offset rims so they were sticking out effectively 70mm more than stock so I guess he really does need fenders.

I had used 1.25" Hub centric spacers with OEM wheels on my last LC. I thought they worked out perfect. In giving it the stance and overall look I wanted.

I emailed the company you mentioned and have yet to here anything back. I was under the impression they were an importer of Artic truck components. But I was not able to find the Russian LX artic flares on there sight. Looking at the Russian LX, those flares do not seem to be like the ones you have to trim fenders etc to run 35s. They look like to me simple paint and stick flares. But I can seem to find any details about them that is not in Russian.
These are the one I researched several years ago and found that you had to cut on the fenders and they were ultra expensive to buy and have installed. Those on the Russian LX look much smaller to me, then these.
