Anyone with lifted GX 460 running stock rims with Michelin Defender LTX M/S? I just wondering how it would look so please post pictures. I have a 2016 BTW

I think stock rim is pretty nice especially with beefier tires. This thread has stock rims and tires with a lift

Main reason why is because I just bought those michelins like two weeks ago and I'm thinking about lifting my truck and don't want to have to get new tires LOL

They would look tiny with the lift lol

if you go with a lift, 265/65-18 looks better.

I got you! Just swapped out of KO2's into a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S in 265/70/18's
No rubbing whatsoever, and no modifications needed. Lighting isnt the best, but I think they still look good.

Looks good, is that on stock suspension? I do like the ride of the Defenders on-road. Plus they have gotten decent reviews for light offroading.

265/70-18 ? or 265/65-18 ?

The stance and red component (shock mount) observed in the front suggests you are running a lift ?

Agree ... the original 265/60-18's in terms of diameter look lost in the wheel well opening, with 265/65-18's looking perfect (with no rubbing on a non-lifted GX-460 using the stock OEM rims). With a lift, the 265/65-18's would probably also look lost in the wheel well opening ... so a larger diameter tire would look better balanced, but then the question of a body-mount-chop needs to be investigated.

Yep, GoHuskers nailed it. Check his post above- complete ToyTec lift. I saw about a 2.75" lift in the front.
With the 265/70/18, there is still about a 1/2" clearance between tire and wheel well. Tire Diameter: 32.6"

I would have gone with the 275/70/18 (Diameter 33.2") but didn't want to move up to an E Rated tire.
Here's a pic of the same lift with stock rims and tires (OEM Diameter 30.52"). Definitely looks tiny!




What size tire are you running?

Looking good! I actually like that setup a lot (although I would definitely go BFG K02), you might have pushed me a little closer to pursuing a lift lol.
