Does anyone know if the wheel opening moldings are wrapped to match the other black? I was going to order the Overtrail moldings for about $900, but I think that they are more of a matte black, would not match the molding over the running boards, so I cancelled the order. Going to get my GX first, then figure out what to do.

I believe you are referring to the fender flares. They are matte black. Companies are started to make them, in just wait it out for a gloss black version.

Was referring to the fender moldings on this GX. This is not an overtrail, the moldings are pretty glossy to match the other moldings, wondering if any knows if this molding was wrapped? I dont think that its the Overtrail molding put on a different GX trim???

Looking to go to a larger tire (285/70 or 285/75) on the stock setup. Whats the best offroad “street” tire as my GX is a DD. Aka most comfortable/quietest ride. Thanks

I would say the Falken WildPeak A/T4W in size 285/70R18 would be your best bet. It is the only C load tire in either size. Going down to 275/70R18 would yield quieter options.

If you intend on keeping the OEM wheel then a 1" spacer might be necessary to keep the tire from rubbing the UCA or other components.
 
With the 2025 OT getting the factory one inch lift, the max tire size still seems to be limited by what would fit in the spare tire location properly.
 
Without any real info, no mention of that by Lexus, and no time to verify if any changes..I had to assume the same. It was one of the factors against trading in my ‘24 OT on an excellent ‘25 OT offer here in Colorado. ‘Losing’ the vibration was a gamble; 1-inch taller we can address aftermarket; etc. Yeah, the spare tire situation occurred to me.
 
Rays 57DR-X 18x8 +36
Rays Team Daytona D9 18x8.5 +52

Both in stock

Is anyone rocking a similar setup to this on the 20" rims? Looks like they were able to fit 35s without trimming with just a 2.5 wescott lift? Is this accurate or what setup is this?

Not fitting 35s with that offset without trimming or mods, even with the lift.
 
Here is my current setup...

Overtrail+
Matte PPF
Westcott Preload Lift Kit
Volk Racing TE37SB 18x8 +30 Pressed Double Black
Toyo Open Country A/T III EV Tire - LT305/70R18 126/123R E/10 (34.8" Tall Tire 60lbs)
I had to push in the front fender line in a little bit. Took off the cover for the safety bracket. Going to remove the bracket soon because after I got an alignment I get slight rubbing in reverse.

Any better / more clear pics? looks amazing.
