35s on 17” wheels:

 
I'd like to see it fully stuffed/full lock. 35s on a street queen are easy.

Let’s remember that it comes with nearly a 33” tire stock, moving to 35 is not the jump it once was. Given they removed so much I have no reason to believe it won’t stuff without rubbing. It would seem they found the problems and removed them. Not sure I’m willing to pull that crush/safety part personally.

Everyone is no negative and critical of a truck few have really got their hands on yet.

Plenty of people fitting 34-ish tires with no issues at stock. Assuming there's no issue under articulation that'll likely be the route most go. I like the look of the westcott collar with 35s, but throwing a cheap preload collar on a $70k truck just to turn the ride to crap hurts my soul.
 
But is that preload collar just because the aftermarket has not really released much yet? I have to believe most suspension companies are working hard to build kits. I don’t plan to lift mine so I have bothered to see what’s out there currently.
 
A GX460 can stuff 34s and the 250/550 has a larger wheel well with a smaller scrub radius. When I saw it I wondered if it would fit skinny 37s, with a BMC. The wheel opening is significantly longer than the J150 4Runners and GX

Not a naysayer here, I plan to get a LC250 when they are available at MSRP.

There is also the issue of width of a 12.5 versus the narrow P metric sizes they come with. I run 35x12.5s on my 4runner, and to make them function while rock crawling requires extensive frame and body modification - body mount, firewall cutting/tubbing, inner fender complete removal, fender metal trimming, washer bottle removal, body lift and/or bump stop extension. The wheel wells and body mount are a bit more generous on the 250, but I'm still skeptical

Yeah, I think it's just easy to produce compared to a full suspension
 
Sneak peek of Westcott's build on 37s.

There is a photo of them throwing fox trd pro suspension from a tundra underneath that one. Kinda interesting

Looks like 37s fit with pretty minor modification on the tacoma and I'd guess fit is pretty similar on the 250/4R. I bet we see the new normal being 35s and a lot of 37's running around too. I think I'd want the 4Runner or GX for the larger running gear for 37s.

And thus my major grievance over the 8.2” diff in the LC250
 
Gents,

I am so confused. The 1st Ed comes with 18"s correct? It is the LC/LC trim that has been shipping with 20's? Also, what 17's seem to work in the LC250, Icons?

:)

And not need for ignore buttoms, let's all use the "kindness" button and learn as we go ! :)

EDIT: Dumb-me! LOL. Yes, 1st Ed are coming with 18"s LOL

Hopefully just the first wave of LC/LC have the 20" wheels. All the ones showing up near me now (CA) have them listed, but when I check other areas (NM for instance) the LC/LC's headed there have 18's.

Method 17s have been confirmed to fit. Albeit not with a *ton* of room.

The 20" wheels are optional on the LC Edition. It's an option most dealers probably feel they can get away with, so slap that s*** on and make the early adopters pay for it.
