So you want 35" tires? DIY article. (1 Viewer)

So you have to have 35" tires... Despite the added strain on the front axles, longer braking distances, cost, poorer MPG and everything else associated with that size tire.
In all honesty, the tires I have now on my GX (285/75R17 BFG M/T KM2's = 33.8" O.D.), are the smallest I've had on any of my off road vehicles in almost 30 years. Personally, I am very tempted to attempt this.
Anyways, here's an article I found on Coastal Offroad for "Clearing 35" Tires At Any Ride Height".

Clearing 35” Tires at any Ride Height - Coastal Offroad

As the 4x4 world progresses, people are moving away from the sky high lifted trucks of old in favour of rigs that are low slung with an emphasis on stability. However, there still exists a common misconception that a tall truck equals a capable off road truck. While 3 foot high door sills may...

Albeit, it is for a T4R, but perusing through the article it looks like it could be done on a GX, but it will definitely require some skills, primarily welding and metal work.
Maybe after my current tires wear down... I have 30,000 miles on them now and they hardly look worn. So it may be a while before this happens.

Same here, short of the Toyota's, I have run 37's or larger on the mass majority of my 4x4's over the past decade. These tiny 33's make me laugh at times and the level of modifications and money spent in order to get them to clear is a tad hilarious to me. I would like to move to a 34-35" tire at some point but due to the size and shape of the wheel wells on these vehicles it makes that rather difficult. If someone would offer glass fenders like they do for the GX470 it would make this modification a lot easier.

I also went with the 285/75/17 tire and often find myself looking at tire porn and longing for “bigger ones”. I am really going to try to resist the temptation of going down that rabbit hole and just stay where I am at. If I move up one whole inch to get 35s, I will just find myself longing for 37s next

I regretted fitting 35's onto my 100 Series. I've learned to be honest about how much time I actually spend on terrain that requires 35's (there isn't really any), vs all of the drawbacks of the weight and circumference of those tires. Yes it rolled over big holes, etc, easier, but the benefits vs the current 33's on my 460 is minimal in the face of the drawbacks of daily use. They look cool. That's really the point of them on a vehicle like a 150
