Thanks to Carnevino for his full posts covering his wheel install. I took his info and ordered Method NV wheels from 4 Wheel Parts. They got mounted yesterday, and they improve that narrow look of the stock wheels. No rubbing throughout entire steering range. 4 Whe KO2s 265/65 with Method NVs 18x9.
el did a great balance job, also. No vibration so far up to 75 mph.
glad the balancing was not an issue. I had ko2s on my previous truck and had tons of balancing issues. Bad enough that bfg/Michelin replaced a full set at their cost and still couldn’t get it right. What load are the tires that you have? It looks good.

Certainly no obvious loss in mileage so far.
Let me know!, the other day I've done roughly 250 mile round trip pretty much all highway all I got was mid 18s guess due to "winter blend", my around town dropped too to mid 15s from mid 17s..

Just returned from a round trip from ATL to Detroit. I carefully measured the fuel mileage. First, I measured actual miles driven devided by gallons used to determine if the digital mpg readout was accurate, and I was a little surprised that it was dead on accurate. After 22 hours of interstate driving, I can confirm that at 65 mph, my GX gets 20.0 mpg. At 75mph, 19.0 mpg. This is with 265/65 KO2's on Method 18's.
So what are you looking at cost wise to lift the Gx 460? I have a 2004 Gx 470 and just got a new 460. I’m not in love with it the same as the 470! I kind of want to keep the old one too, but know that’s silly. I think I would like the new one a bit better with a lift and different tires, but know nothing about this stuff. I currently feel like I’m driving a rental or something and it’s so low! Thanks in advance for any input.

I did remove the bolt prior to the install after reading several other wheels fitment threads, and I’m not getting any rub at all, even when driving over rougher terrain
man, those tires are cheap. i have the KO2s, paid almost twice that
do you think the offset will help on rubbing with 265/70/18? the rubbing is kind of driving me nuts
I get ZERO RUB in all conditions with completely minor, fully reversible fender mods with 265/70/18 with non-F-sport GX wheels. I will do a write-up on it. I have at least an inch all around the front and rear inner fenderwell with wheels turned when parked.
