I have the stock alloy 19 inch wheels on my 2014 200 series. I am getting 2 inch lift. Any reason for tire size increase or better wheel to go with the trd wheels? is there more or better rubber options with the 18 inch wheel? Just wonder if anyone has input regarding the new wheels other than looks,.I feel the trds look better but...,i allready own the stock wheels with good rubber on them now...i have also heard they wont fit under spare hanger with out some work.

With a 17" wheel you can fit a bit more rubber / side wall under your rig. Fitting the TRD 17" wheel it other spare tire carrier / bracket is simple if you own a dremel or hacksaw.
Good luck in tracking down a reasonably priced set of 5. People think those wheels are god now and price accordingly.

I think he is talking about the black 18" TRD wheel from the 2014+ Tundras - not the Rock Warrior 17" wheels from the previous Tundra. Not sure about the spare tire fitment for the newer TRD wheels.
I was not aware that any 200 series has 19" wheels. If you have a Land Cruiser it should be 18" and if you have an LX570 it should be 20".

Those wheels are the highly coveted TRD Rock Warrior wheels. They are only available in 17". You didn't mention if you have a Land Cruiser or LX570.
Since you are installing a 2" lift I am guessing Land Cruiser. With those TRD wheels and the lift, a good tire size would be 285-70-17 or even 295-70-17. Both of those will be around 33" tall compared to your stock tire which is 31.5" I think.
Gotcha

As to answer your original question:
The 17" wheel vs. the 18" wheel is desirable, because you have an 1 inch more sidewall with the smaller wheel. More sidewall translates to a tire that can be aired down more, thus making it a better tire suited for offered use.
And, like others are saying, they are getting pretty pricey these days. IF you can find a set for cheap, buy them asap.

I'm running the BFG KO2s in 34x10.5x17. Fit nicely with OME 2-2.5" lift. X2 on what @MScruiser said about sidewall. If I could run 16" I would. I've lost a few tires on the trail when I ran 18"
I think @GX-R managed to fit 16's on his 200, not sure if he posted how though
No rubbing. I do have the Total chaos upper control arms- aftermarket upper control arms are just about required to get the 200 inline at alignment. But I do have a little bit of the plastic cut out from my last set of tires.
This combo did really great in the toughest trails in Ouray.
