Running like this for now. Not sold on spacers yet. To me they make wheels with high positive offset look odd.Looks great! IMO maybe would look a bit better with spacers, otherwise looks a little like it skipped leg day...

Can’t unsee this now
Going to leave it though, and think of it my big ol’ set of “franks and beans” from now on hahaha!
I got these from Aliexpress, just needed something better than the really under performing bulbs that were in the car before, drop in replacements for the OEM holders.
Even the interior light kit has made a ton of difference.
That's such a great looking front end...
Do you have a link to the part or part number?
Unpopular opinion: spacers often trade function for form.
Turns out if nothing else is rubbing keeping the mud and rocks under the truck and not all over the sides of it is pretty nice.

just removed mine. Also makes turning on trails in CO easier, without as wide a scrub radius.
Fabricated a sweet custom front bumper with the help of a four legged friend. Unfortunately, he didn’t want to stick around for dinner after. I think I need to take a sharpie to the screw heads but that’s all I had available and needed to get it roadworthy so I could drive it home.
First mod on this new to me 2008 LX570. Icon wheels with TerraGrappler-G3 285/70R17.
Spacers make literally everything worse.
You are the third LX/LC I've seen with these wheels and they look fantastic! Congrats.
Back in my 20s we used to call that the drift stitch
I would not go that far.. they can make the rig look better, clear bigger brakes, provide better handling characteristics. It all depends on the application, use case, etc.
Like all things, spacers can be used in good and bad ways. With the wrong application, they'll make things worse. If done with understanding and intent, spacers are a useful tool.
Shamelessly

- 17mm front shock spacers to increase suspension travel from 9" to 10" with no compromises
- 20mm rear spring spacers increase coil spring preload to allow AHC to handle 2200lbs payload with no trade to travel or ride quality
- 1.25" wheel spacers to make room against the UCA for 37s while also optimizing scrub radius and increasing roll stability
- .75" body lift spacers to make more room for large tires while lifting front and rear bumpers for more clearance
Where would one get the front and rear spacers?
Truck looks amazing. I'm guessing with those bigger front shock spacers, you had to replace the top shock mount bolts for longer ones? I thought I read somewhere that the biggest spacer without changing out the bolts was 13mm. I've never considered body mount spacers. Did you do the install on those yourself or is that a bigger job than DIY (i.e., without a lift)?
How do you like that drawer fridge? We’ve debated on one for our LX but not sure if the capacity is enough. How cold does it get?
Gets cold, I haven’t measured the actual coldest temp, but it does fine with food and drinks. I love the size, but certainly not big. I have mostly used it on solo trips, or group trips where other folks also have coolers and fridges to “share” cold storage.
The convenience factor of these units put it at the top of my list.
