Tire size question - LX570

[LEXCRUISER]

Hi,

I am about time to replace new tires. The LX570 is currently sit on 285/65R18, AHC lift.
I am thinking to go with 295/70R18. Was there going to be a lot of work prevent rubbing? Also, would the spare tire fit ok?

Thanks.
AW

Trimming Wheel Well for Larger Tires

I'm getting ready to have my 305/55/20's (33.2"x12.5") mounted tomorrow. I know there will be just a tad of kissing of the tires to wheel well liners at the front deflector and trailing mud flap. Wanted to see pics of what you guys have done. As a reference, I will be using my stock 20" LX570...
