2021 LX 570 with 45K miles. Recently new to me.

First notable update - pivoting off the OEM tire & wheel combo.

Installed are 285/70/R18 KO3 on Tundra rims (75157 Tundra wheels, OEM part #42611-0C200, +60mm offset), with 25mm spacers (thanks to @LCMoneyPit). Thanks to @tbisaacs for the amazing MUD content and feedback. Removed the front mud flaps, the small piece in front of the front tires (is it called a spat?), some slight rubbing ... will pin the inner fender liner forward and that should do it.

Sexy looking combo!

Hamilton CarPlay, cup holder upgrade, and storage solution between console and seats make life pretty cushy inside.

BTW - F1 episode of Acquired done. Check it out if you haven’t already.

Never really had LX envy but damn a 19-21 on 285/70/18s is near perfect.

Txs.

I went into analysis paralysis for a bit between 275/70/18 vs 285 vs 295 … let alone smaller sidewall or diff rim sizes.

Wanted almost no mods/ rubbing impact and this achieved that so I’m happy. Don’t have MPG impact yet.

I did this on my 2011 and loved it. My wife just purchased a 2019 and I may go the same route

@Tehmbrick I'm about to do the same combo for a 2018 LX. Any issues with hitting the rear fender on square compression? Have any photos of fender alignment / poke? Also, I assume the tires are E-rated, how's the ride? I'm considering the AT4W since that's the only C-load in that size I can find.

A few shots re 'poke'.

Yes, E-rated tires. To me, negligible difference from stock tires to this setup.

I've had no issues on compression but haven't yet had it on the trails (shakedown run to the Sierras in a couple of weeks).

Overall, no regrets on the choices. I am not 100% in love with the wheels from a look standpoint ... but it's good enough and not a priority for me.

I have a bunch of shots of the front 'pin' and trim ... lmk if you want that.

Yeah if you have photos of how you pinned it that would be great. You went with 1" spacers? Imitation is the finest form of flattery.

Yes - 25mm spacers (Bora). The thread to review over mine would be here: Build - Meet Obsidian: My 2021 LX570 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/meet-obsidian-my-2021-lx570.1374919/. @tbisaacs build and approach was my inspiration.
