I had it in 265 65 18 for a month and had some issues so I went back to oem. They couldn’t be balanced as they had crazy road force values in the 30s, one tire in the 40s. They were also considerably loud past 65mph, they are pretty quiet up to 50 but then they start to get noisy. Anyways, I’ll prolly go to terra contacts as contis tend to be pretty round just as Michelin’s.

I have these on my Tacoma and they are awesome. The are a lot more grippy, so it really helps in corners and reduce breaking distance and as mentioned above these are highly rated in the tacoma forum. I really don't hear much road noise even at high speeds. This tire is one of the few All season tire that has a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating.... It's also dirt cheap compared to K02!

Looks like a great option when wife's OEM tires wear out. Could be wrong, but I always thought the minimum pressure on LT tires was 35 (any vehicle any load), so you are close to minimum. I think that's where the load range tables begin on LT tires, but a more knowledgeable person might chime in for the actual reason.

Default Factory height, what tire size looks best?

Hey guys, a buddy of mine just picked up a 2011 GX460 and can't do a lift bc he parks in a parking garage. What kind of tires and size could he go with? Pics would also be great.....

I have Cooper Discovery A/TW 265/70/18s installed with no lift, running boards removed. There is some very minor rubbing when turning and hitting a dip at the same time from the front wheels. But I wheel my GX and have no issues with the clearance, again aside from the very minor rub against the plastic wheel well liners. Cooper lists the outside diameter as 32.64".

Yep, but only a little bit. Between the tires and roof rack I think I lost about 1-2 on the fwy. Maybe a bit more on the streets due to the weight of the tires. That's bound to happen with any larger and heavier tire, can't beat physics.

I'm running stock height...downsized rim diameter to 17"...tires are Falken Wildpeak AT3's sized 265/65/17...went this route to get a fatter looking sidewall ...measures 30.5 inches overall(factory 265/60R18 is near this mark)...The wheel is at a Zero Offset...no rubbing whatsoever... factory ride feels the same

Stock in 265/60/18 Falken wildpeak at3/w. Good tires and very quiet. I like them a bit more than the Cooper Discoverer AT/3

Default 20" Factory / OEM Wheels for my Wife's 2018 GX460?

My wife and I just purchased a new 2018 Lexus GX460 - Luxury Trim level and we're hoping there's a way to get a set of 20" Factory OEM or very good replica wheels as the 18" factory wheels are just too small. We don't want an aftermarket look / feel, and even prefer to be able to have Lexus center caps if at all possible. Thanks in advance.

eBay has replicas, same as the luxury wheels but in 20". A member here posted his ride with it.

or you can run a taller tires like I did. 265/65/18 fills the wheel wells nicely.

Thanks for the note. We found some used LX570 Wheels here locally that we're hoping fits the car but will look on Ebay as well.

I "think" the 570 is 5-lug wheel while the GX is 6-lug. 4Runner Limited 20" wheels work but it is 7" wide so too narrow.
