35s Fit! KO3 285/75 R18 (1 Viewer)

Hello! It will fit in the trunk flat. I tried a 295/70 and we were able to fit it minus the rim but did not fit once mounted and using the pulley...I have a hitch carrier that I'm going to use when going on more difficult trails for long distances and also purchased a spare set of wheels to run the OEM tires when daily driving. This is the only way I could find to have a spare for daily driving and off roading. I don't like to have the hitch carrier installed with the swing out because I can't open the tail gate while in the garage, otherwise it wouldn't be a big deal...I should probably start working on a slide out carrier! The reverse sensors do beep but can never muted, the back up camera is blocked but surprisingly is not totally useless...

Thanks for the answers. Do you lose the camera and make the reverse sensors go crazy with a hitch mounted tire carrier?

It sounds like 285/70R18 may be the biggest tires that will fit under the truck, but coming from a Jeep on 37s, that would feel like such a huge step back.

I'd be happy with 11" - 11.5" of clearance. I want to balance the increased ground clearance with maintaining droop to keep the tires on the ground over crosscuts or moguls.

There is an old Aussie vid that explains a lot about the impact of lifts and larger tyres, for those with less experience this worth a watch:

indeed 35 fits easily

Lexyjoe - Those tires look great! I have the Overtrail + and would like to upsize tires without doing other modification. Do you have any rubbing? I notice that you went with a wider offset. If I want to keep the whole tire inside the wheel well do you think I would have a problem if I go with 35'?

Yes you will rub with a full 35 without modification. There are two rubbing points. If you go with a more negative offset like 0. It will be the front edge bumper and the front bracket area. I can take pics. If you go with a higher offset like 35 to 45s it will hit the inner bracket area and most likely the outer areas too.

I think the sweet spot if upgrading rim is +35 offset if you want it flushed. A tires size of 285 70 17 would not rub. anything higher it will rub. If upsizing tire from the overtrail 18 inch rim its probably 275 70 18. This is without lift or modification.

Thanks for the valuable information! Super helpful.
 
Sorry to revive and old thread. @JorgeR or anyone else, what did you come up with to fit the spare tire? Seems like a bit of cutting would get that 35" up there no problem but I could be mistaken.

No lift kit yet. There are two brackets on not aft and aft inboard brackets that need to be removed. They are bolted on and accessible without removing the OEM tires. There is plenty of room and no rubbing stop to stop.

Can you explain with pics?

Do 35s fit on stock ‘24 GX? Facebook user claims yesView attachment 11302

That confirms my research, although I dont have any first-hand experience fitting 35s. 35s will fit on a stock truck as long as your wheels have a high offset (>40). The stockers have +50.

+40 offset with 35" tires:

Unfortunately, your wheel choices are pretty limited when it comes to offset that high. I THINK that with my 1" factory lift (2025 Overtrail), I can fit a 34" with +15 wheels. If it turns out that the trimming is a little more involved, I would be okay with that to a certain extent.

Ya I’ve watched that too. Prob tire dependent whether it rubs on the crash bar or not. Re: offset I really want the Volk TE37 in 18x8.5 +44 but on backorder eta 5-6mo. I’ll prob just run some 285/75s on the OEMs for now

Rays/Volk have some suitable options in 18" but I really want a 17" wheel. They had some high offset 17s last year but discontinued them for 2025! I may end up following your lead.

Good news! Based on this post from DustinFNW from the Land Cruiser forums (I forget. Are we allowed to fraternize with those guys?), it looks like FN has a high offset, 17" wheel in the works specifically for the new generation of LC and GX. ETA is 3-5 months.

For any of you looking for a high-offset wheel in 18" this thread provides tons of options across many different manufacturers.

Edit: Would be good if I provided the link, huh? High Offset Wheels (>=than 40mm)
