2011 LX570 building for full time travel, we’re leaving in July to live on the road, headed to west coast for a couple months and then 5 months through Mexico and who knows after that.

Goal was to keep this thing sleek and stock appearance besides wheels and tires. It’s a work in progress and built on a budget with a very specific use case in mind.

Cascadia 4x4 solar panel on hood
Hidden winch
Factory rails with extrusion to mount Front Runner boxes (installing Toyota LC rails soon)
Seasucker bike rack
Full sleeper platform
Dometic drawer fridge
KISS dual battery setup
1000w Inverter
WeBoost
Air compressor
Dash Cams front rear and inside
3m Security window film
10 gallon front runner water tank with pump
**35x11.5s coming in June
**alarm system coming in June

Nice wheels. What are these?
eBay specials. I like my cars to be as close to stock as possible but with more capability. I think these are a clone rim from a sport model or something overseas. I could be wrong though. Anyways, the specs fit perfectly, hub, +40 offset, ect. Since I’m not rock crawling figured I’d give them a shot. Sent this guy an offer for 800 and he accepted, considering the 600$ shipping.

Bought the center caps separately off eBay, after knocking off the tabs they fit perfectly.
Was going to leave them off but because of the offset on the wheels there was a pretty big gap so….as a man….figured I’d fill that gap. Lol

20s just look so right. I don't know what my next set will be, but tires are a big limiting decision factor.
275/65r20 is a size I had not considered and looks very promising in tire selection.
Still, C or D load is non existent which is a bummer.

Yeah would have loved to find a c or d but not available. This tire size fits great, only thing I had to do was remove mud flaps and heat up and bend a very small part of the fender liner maybe a 3x3 inch section. Super easy

Any ride quality feedback? Also, is your AHC "stock"?

I haven’t driven it much since I did it, been on road traveling for work. Initial impressions were that it felt more planted. I drove around in sport mode before most of the time. Actually had it in comfort with new tires and had a good feel to it. I can give you more feedback when I have some miles behind her.

I maxed front ahc and it pretty much just leveled it. Wish I could get a little more lift but don’t have access to tech stream. I really like how it sits in high, that would be ideal.

Same, maxed up front and mostly in rear with no modifications to sensors or arms. I don’t want any more suspension lift, and I’ve restored droop and added travel. Its great where it sits for driving dynamics and stroke, geometry etc is right. Just wish i could lock it in high until 35-40MPH!

Im really looking now to maximize tire lift, aka “proper” lift. No such thing as lifting IFS. And im more concerned with keeping AHC perfectly balanced than looking mean lol.

Factory 20s makes me very tempted. Powdercoated and spaced out of course.

Nice! Yeah I’m happy for now. More than capable for 90% of the stuff up here in north Idaho.

I have a brand new set of 1 inch bora spacers if you decide to go that route. Factory 20’s was my initial plan but when I found these rim with 40 offset no longer needed.

Nice, how is the quality? Did you weigh them by any chance?

Not sure what is out there in 20" with a +35-40 offset. Some things in 17 and 18, but im not sure if ill regret the 18s...
I need more brake venting, and visually, 17s are just too small. Does not look modern.
