@codyaustin5 - So what I did is find the new rock warrior wheel part number (PTR45-35010) and call my local dealer. They confirmed that they could get 5 of them for $350 a piece (not too bad right!) and that there are 191 in the Toyota warehouses (also not too bad). I said go for it, but they called me back saying that I had to have a TRD Pro VIN to make this purchase and since that is not a LC option, obviously, they can't sell them to me. I think I found a dealer that will sell them to me at $330 - but I have to ship them - either way, I'm liking this option at this point. So much like @gaijin suggested - I'm liking this option.

You should print this Toyota doc and show it to your dealer: https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/ins...er TRD Alloy Wheel PTR45-34070-34120 IssF.pdf

It specifies the procedure Toyota dealers should follow when fitting the 17" TRD wheels (a.k.a. Rock Warriors) to Tundras, Sequoias and Land Cruisers - obviously, these wheels are a Toyota approved option for the LC.

I didn't notice it at first, but your Part Number is wrong - it is for the 6 lug 17" wheel that will not fit the Land Cruiser.

The correct part numbers are PTR45-34070 (old style without drain slots in the trim ring) and PTR45-34120 (newer style with drain slots in the trim ring). These are considerably more expensive than the $330 quoted to you for the wrong wheel.

Woah - thanks for the huge response so far!

@EastPlnsDrifter - SAR is part of the El Paso Count Sheriffs Office, all of our rigs are on Duratracs.. or treads. In fact I was driving one of our rescue trucks up 24 and Pikes Peak Highway on Sunday morning in the snow, those tires do a nice job in the frozen surface stuff. And like I said - I love me some Rock Warriors! If you ever want to see the sliders and drawers in person, let me know - we are pretty close together.

@Taco2Cruiser - I haven't looked at the Cooper SST's - how is the decomposed granite and trail type running?

@TeCKis300 - I've had the Falkens on an old truck and was never really a fan, but this was like 15 years ago and a different truck (my old 4Runner when I was living in NH). As for the 305 - do you see rubbing without the 1in spacer you run, or did you add the spacer to avoid that rub?

@Chocolate - Exactly! More sidewall more better.

@Markuson - I mean you are right, only I can know.

@MrCWineMan - If you'd like to checkout how the Duratracs on RWs work with the BP51s feel free to PM me. I'd be more than happy to meet up and always head into the Springs at the weekend. If you like how the tires handled in that storm and the twisty stuff out there you'll be fine. It looked like it was rough out there and out towards Divide. I'd be surprised if you didn't get a call out towards my neck of the woods in a storm sooner or later. Hodgen through Black Forest is a straight road yet I've seen at least one rollover on it every time it gets icy.

Annnnnd that makes a whole bucket load of sense. Thanks for the solid catch there!
