I'm happy to see those fit better on the LX than the LC. I tried that exact tire 285/75/18 RG recently on my LC, and it did not work well because of the KDSS. That seemed to be the only place it caused me trouble though as you can see here:

34s vs 35s on the 200

I recently went through this journey in my build thread, but I figured it might be easier to locate in the future on its own as more members buy and build trucks and try to determine which size tire is appropriate. I think it's safe to say just about everyone wants to go bigger when they get new...

I think I saw you on Monday morning as I was driving by Mono lake. I wasn't driving my LX.

Yep I was parked there for lunch! Just moved back to California after a stint on the east coast and I couldn't be happier. I'm cruising back down the 395 to San Diego today.

Do you have a lift or did cut anything to get 285x75x18 almost 35” on your truck??

According to Nitto, the tires are 35.08". I haven't measured for my own edification but I will tonight. I don't have a lift and I only had to trim the front of the running board after removing the mud flap and pushing the bracket back. The rest was reshaped with a heat gun.

I read and re-read this thread and others closely before landing on this size. I also spoke with @Apounder about how he fit the 35x12.5 KO2s on his former LX.
I'm leaving for Moab on Sunday then onto Ouray on Tuesday.

Posting this here since it's also appropriate. Picked this up yesterday. 2008, 145k, 285/75R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Not a huge fan of black but it's what I could find. Two owner Arizona truck. I know the truck color/wheel combo is just like @eatSleepWoof but at least the tires are different. And we are in different countries. Couldn't pass up the deal on the TRD wheels.

Nice! I have come close to putting those wheels on my 2011 LX a few times because I'm not a fan of the wheels my wife chose before I took the car from her. Tundra guys sell them so cheap on Craigslist and it looks so good on yours I think I'm going for it now.

@dubyahard - what are you doing for a spare? A 35" spare won't fit into the original spare location, will it?

I have not crossed that bridge yet. Any one have any idea the biggest size that will fit?

Took the LX out for some light offloading over the weekend in Crested Butte, CO. I haven't done much to my rig yet but I have future plans and will probably start a build thread one of these days to document the process.

what are those tire/wheel specs?^

I'm running 275/70R18 BFG KO2s on 2016+ Land Cruiser wheels. I also did the AHC lift in the front to level things out. The picture was taken in 'N' mode.

 

[pizdets17]

Is there spacers or anything else? No rubbing?

Went to a trail with a bunch of wrangler guys. Sorry, i don't think people driving lx570 in my area would like to drive off the pavement. Some new light scratches on both sides, but had a lot of fun.

 

[09LX570]

Here is the video. I was told when I was on the reverse gear, the wheels were not spinning. I was on low 4, and traction was off.

I failed lc200...

Can't tell the texture of the ground, but seemlingly too mild to have stuck?

You didn't mention it but center diff lock is key for loose surfaces.

Next magic trick if you do get stuck with center diff lock and 4-low, is to use Crawl control. Works both in forward and reverse. Airing down can also help greatly.

Thanks for the tips. I did try crawl control in forward, but not in reverse. I forgot to turn on the center diff lock. Just too green...

 

[TRAILROAMER]

No spacers as of yet. The wheels/tires sit fairly tucked in under the fenders and I'm debating running spacers to change the look. I have noticed a bit of rubbing on the inner fender liner when turning in reverse but it's not too bad. I think others on here have experienced the same issue but were able to resolve it by reshaping the liner with a heat gun.

We all start somewhere so at least you're getting out there and getting dirty! Another tip is that center diff lock can be enabled on the fly while in motion. I'm usually in 4low already when in the dirt, but I'm always ready to reach for the center diff lock if I'm anticipating any fun coming up.

A little bit of clean up today..
