Picked up an 09 LX... not sure what I’ll do

[Apounder]

Looks awesome! Are you running wheel spacers?

Oh, you might find that you rub a little under certain driving conditions. I pretty much have no rubbing except every once in a while, when I'm braking hard and turning right.

Yup spacers! 1.25in

Are those photos with the truck in normal or high? After the sensor lift?

Thanks. That looks awesome. I just picked up a 2010 LX a few weeks ago and did the the front sensor lift last week. I’m trying to figure what tires to go with now. Yours looks really good.

I Know I want to run 275/65/20 but don’t know if I want to run KO2s, Falken AT3s, or Cooper AT3 XLTs.

I’m leaning towards the Coopers but there isn’t a lot of info out on them yet.

I just ordered the same size but in Cooper AT3 XLT. I think the 275/65r20 is a great size for the LX stock wheels.

Please post some pics and initial impressions when you get those XLTs on. I’m leaning towards going with that tire but there really isn’t a lot of real world info out on them yet.

Per some ih8mud research found out the hikari LEDs work in the sealed headlights of the lx, got some drls, low beams, and hi beams in. Much needed upgrade.

UPDATE: damnit... I did it again, I have issues, anyway got tired of the 34s and 20s so picked up some tundra wheels and painted them until I decide which 18s I want to end up with, wrapped them in some new 35x12.50 18 bfg ko2s

Do tell about fitment on the 35s. Just the 1.25” spacers . . . .?

If so that is sweet news!

Yup 1.25s! All I did was trim a little of front flap, body mount chop, and trimmed inner fender liner infront of the tire! No rubbing in N mode so far, will articulate and trim more if needed.

Nice to have it confirmed on an LX only had tlc reporting 35s so far. First lx chop I’ve read about, but we’ve been speculating it would work.

I have 12 of those 18” tundra rims. . . Four are stripped waiting for a finish

I think Apounder and this one B.E. Meyers MAWLR (@the.mawlr) • Instagram photos and videos are the only ones with 35s on the LX.

Man. This knowledge is such a slippery slope for me.

 

[grinchy]

I’ve got 285/75 18 in a cart right now . . . Just can’t commit.

Do it.. you won’t

Slee has had 35s on his shop LX for a couple years or...at least over a year.

 

[grinchy]

It isn’t the 35s I’m afraid of, it’s the $3k in gears and rear locker

Same. Guess I'm looking at 35's when these Falken's wear out.

I’ve been eying 295/70/r18. Bookmarked this photo from another mud member:

I think those Fuel wheels are ~ 9” wide. 295/70 is essentially a big 34 and 11.5 wide.

Couple more pics, going to take it up to the snow in the next few days if work allows..

These tires cheat the odometer over 10%. Awesome.
