If 200 could put 35" on easily, there's no reason I've been looking for 80s... 
No one on these boards has done a 35" mod. Marc was about the closest to pulling the trigger, but then he sold his 200.
I run 275/70/18 which is the largest you could go with the full OME setup.
35's would require some cutting of the fenders, rolling them, and installing rims that are wide enough with the proper offset for a 35" tire.
Arctic Trucks and a few other oversees companies have done this process, but to my knowledge no one in the US has.
After I'm done with my Nitto TG's, I plan to see what it will take to bump up to 35"s. I like the look as well with the wider stance and flared fenders, but I'm very hesitant of spacers and would insist on finding a rim that could work with the proper offset.
At the same time I'd probably replace all my OME setup and switch over to an ICON system, or whatever is the best at that time. The OME is great, but I figure I'd get the extra 1" from the ICON and replace the UCAs as well.
But I gotta ask: Why would you want 35's on a highway vehicle?

Revised request: Show us your "Lifted 200"
My JK Rubicon has 35's, it rides and handles just fine; So I assumed this would be a rather standard lift/wheel/tire upgrade for a 200. The stock look of the 200 is just very boring to look at . Reminds me of a super-sized Highlander that every rental car agency and soccer mom has. So I want a look that has somewhat more aggressive off road capable look.
Thanks.

Has anyone attempted to fit a small 35" tire on to the rig using the stock wheel? That's the easiest way with the Tundra.
I thought the white 200 from Iron Pig had 35s.
This one has 35" wheels (and it's in the us):
2008 Land Cruiser Project Vehicle - 2007 SEMA Auto Show Coverage - Truck Trend
It is using Ultra Goliath wheels, which are 18x9 & have a +35mm offset. These wheels seem to stick out past the fender well much more than a +35mm offset should be, so maybe it's the super wide tires.
Regarding 33" tires, It looks like most of you guys have replaced the front bumper which appears to add cleareance. Will a 33" tire fit with a 2" lift and still keeping the factory front bumper?

As far as I know the rig in SEMA is not free from the rubbing problem, isn't it?
That SEMA truck is bump-stopped to no end. A superb wheel-lifter. Guaranteed.
It definitely needs cutting and rolling of the fenders. I've looked long and hard and I don't think it can be easily done. Not only would you need minimum 3" up front and 2" in the back, as Shotts says, you would need to bumpstop it to hell.
Another concern that came up would be the wear on the diff...I would think you need some sort of diff drop.
This isn't going to be easy or cheap for a daily driving, highway machine. It would probably only make sense for a desert racer. Toyota has moved to producing 4x4 vehicles that are almost ready out of the box...ie. FJcruiser and 5th gen 4rnr have done the Rubicon with next to no mods. It is a commitment to producing rigs for a dying segment (GMs going to full frame bodies, Hummer being discontinued). Soon it will be only Toyota's truck division and Jeeps.

Didn't the 5th gen 4Runner get significant body damage in the process?
Splittin hairs man...same truck was used to run the baja 1000 after it's Rubicon run. It finished that too. I'd say that's pretty good.
From what I saw, the body damage was to plastic panelling on the truck. To replace all plastic bumper covers it would cost close to $2500...thats not bad if that is the only thing that happened. It could've been worse, they could've rolled or something, or been stuck so bad that they couldn't do it.
44" tires have had trouble on the RUbicon with body damage as well...so I'm not sure what your point is?
It is my impression that the 4Runner is pretty big to run the Rubicon, and doesn't have great angles. I like my 4Runner, but it isn't a rock hopper.
Deninitely not a rock hopper, however I think Toyota is engineering trucks to work well in stock form, and meet all safety and still be economical. Somewhere in there they are becoming tougher and tougher to mod.
Also, it's really early for the 200 series. Give it a couple of years and I think you'll see tons of 35inchers.
Arctic trucks has some nice looking 200 on 35"s
