Quick wheel question….

[sleepycruiser]

Will wheels from a 2018 LC200 fit a 2011 LC200 with no spacing issues or center cap mods, etc? Hoping for 100% plug and play. I looked through the wheel post, but might have missed it. Thanks!

Yes, zero mods.

Pretty sure I remember reading the center caps for the wheels won’t fit the front without some small tweaks.

I know for a fact the mud/grease/axle nut cover on the hub is different on 2016+ than 08-15.

I asked @Eric Sarjeant he said zero mods as I just purchased the heritage wheels for my 2011. I had mentioned I read, only once, about the center caps needing to be trimmed. He said no…..

Hmm…sounds like they Kight not be plug and play then. I wanted updated OEM wheels where I can drop them off at the tire place and they just swap them out without any Macgyvering going on.

Changing out hub grease caps on early LX570 / LC200 to fit new center caps

On my 2008 LX570 I recently picked up a new set of 18" wheels off a 2020 Land Cruiser. Of course the hub diameter is the same but on early model 200 series LX & LC's the hub grease cap is a slightly different shape which prevents the wheel center caps from installing all the way flush without...

Same concept for the lc. Need to change out grease cap.

Got it. How hard are those grease caps to change? Take the wheel off and swap them out?

Very simple. Pop off the old ones and put in the new ones

Thanks. And the LX and LC use the same grease caps?? I’d need to get the caps for a 2018 LC to fit on my 2011.

IM having them installed tomorrow, I’ll make sure.

Heritage wheels must be different than base model.

They are an interference fit, so you’ll need a hammer and sharp metal chisel or something to get them moving.

It’s probably easier to shave the tabs on the center caps so they don’t hit the early model grease cap. That process is detailed elsewhere in this section. But you’d need to do all 4/5 so you don’t need to keep track of which will fit each axle during rotations.

Thank you very much for the info. I’ll have more info to contribute tomorrow for everyone.

center caps need to have the ends of the 'clips' trimmed down but with spacers they fit without modification. everything else fits without any issues. 2013 w 275 70 r18 KO2's with 1.25" spacers and 2016+ wheels and center caps as shown in the pic

 

[sleepycruiser]

Are the spacers needed for sure?

spacers are not needed but center cap 'clips' need to be modified without them. I'm preparing for a 2" lift so the larger tires and spacers are first steps.

Thanks. The wheels are the same as those in your pic, but the center caps don’t have the black in them…which I actually prefer those center caps you have.

No problem. I think the black and all chrome center caps are both stock but from different years maybe. I’ve seen both.

 

[Sinister]

So maybe it’s just the Heritage wheels that don’t need any modification, trimming or spacers?

 

[Sinister]

Wheels have been installed and I can confirm zero modifications are needed for the heritage wheels to fit on a 2011 Land Cruiser.

 

[sleepycruiser]

Does anyone have the link of fitting the center caps to a 2011? Sounds easier than replacing the grease caps. I’m having some 2018 LC200 wheels dropped off today to put on my 2011. Hopefully I can get them installed this week.
