Like many here have said: I really like the wheels, but it's insane that there aren't other tire options. There's room to mount a higher profile tire, but I have no idea what else will fit. I'm at roughly 6/32 tread remaining, so I'm due soon. There has to be another size that will fit.... hopefully

Here are some pictures of my LX with the 18" Land Cruiser rims and Michelin Defender LTX tires.

If anyone wants to trade the OEM 20 inch wheels for 21's let me know. I'd love to go down to the 18's but I feel that the wheel would look too small relative to the vehicle. Advice to anyone asking, avoid the 21's.
Misterscot - Are you still interested in trading the OEM 21” for the OEM 20”?

2015 LX570 285/55/20 BFG ATKO2. 6000 lb SUV’s should always have truck tires plus these run smooth and quiet on road and wear like iron

I do have a set of 21" OEMs wheels and tires (from my 2016 LX and drove around 2000 miles with them) but then bought a set of 20" 2013-2015 LX and have been using them since.
Which 20" OEM wheels do you have?
I would be interested in a trade if your 20s are the ones that come with 2016+ LXs.

I'd try posting in the classifieds section here.

Common issue with 21's is that it's a wheel size with a severe limitation in 21" tire availability...particularly those suitable for a 3-ton truck.

Those wheels should be included with the 2020 sport package, they match perfect!

I like the way 21" look, dont like the way the car feels. I dont like the way 18" LC wheels look on the LX at all. I think 20" is a good trade off heck even a 19" would do.

My OEM tires are still good but I was also exploring different options as I don't want to get these expensive Dunlap's. I was also looking at different wheel size option to see what should I do when time comes for replacement. . However, now I see Yokohama has a tire available in 21 inch size which is reasonably priced compared to Dunlap. I am leaning to keep the 21 wheels and go with these in future . Maybe in future, we might have more options as well too.

Beautiful vehicle. I am in the process of trading a 2012 GX460 for a 2019 LX with the Luxury Package, etc. All come with 21 inch wheels. I told the dealer I did not want them and wanted the 20 inch wheels. He claims nothing he can do. am exploring after market alternatives. Anyone interested swapping for a new set of 21 inch wheels and tires please let me know.

The 18" LC wheels don't look great on anything :P I have 21
HREs on my LS460. Because of tires, I'd stick with 20's on the LX.

18" LC wheels definitely work much better than 21" or 20" tires. And they also look better in my opinion. If I see LX with 18", I know that its owner purchased it for what it was designed, not as a mall crawler.
LS 460 rides also much better with 18" wheels (I have winter tires on 18" on my LS 460). But I can understand that some people have 19" wheels on it. Anything bigger does not make any sense.
