Ok Guys
Background- New to the forum, officially, but have been reading for years. I appreciate all the data and wealth of information and willingness to help others that don't do this every day. I have had a 2004 lx470 and now have a 2007 lx470 that Im handing over to my 16 year old.
Problem- I have recently acquired a 2009LX and after reading multiple threads on the forum believed that I could run 285-55-20s. Just put these Nitto Trail Grapps on and they bad rub in N and sometimes in High... It had these aftermarket black wheels on it when i purchased it and I don't love the offset as I will be throwing some mud on the quarter panels and don't want to destroy the paint. I had to remove the front mud flaps already and would like to not have to do any cutting. What options are you seeing to keep the factory bumper?
1) any suggestions on how to get a little lift on these other than resetting the sensor, and if I do that will it even help with the rubbing?
2) Do you think these wheels are causing the problem? If so would the factory wheels potentially help?
3) what is the best way to keep this in High over 20MPH and what steps should i take to put the suspension system back in good shape i.e. spacers, springs, etc to compensate for the increased pressure on the AHC system?
