Gorgeous rig. Just ordered the Wescott lift yesterday.

What size wheels and tires?

Any rubbing?

you’ll find lots on this forum and reddit and youtube that lead you back to the +35mm method 703’s wrapped in any 35x12.5x17. i went with toyo at3.

you need to remove the crash bars but that’s really about it unless you’re really fussy or expecting a ton of articulation and maybe want to trim the leading edge of the wheel well. i didn’t bother. i won’t be doing crazy shit with this rig. it’s fine. lots of examples all over the internets with a quick goog on how/what to do if you wanna.

enjoy!

Does either of you with this setup have a shot down the side of the vehicle to get a sense for the amount of "poke"?

Similar setup but at +25 offset. +35 will be more tucked.

+35mm method

This is as close as I can get to a good side view. I put the GX in storage while we remodel our house and garage so I can't go out and take a picture of it as it sits now.

Just to confirm, that's 285/75x17 8.5 in wheel, +25? That's exactly the setup I'm looking at and I think it looks great.

Yes, sir. Method NV 305 17x8.5 +25 offset. Toyo ATIII 285/75R17.

Does anyone know the largest tire size you can put on a stock wheel that will still fit it the spare well? A stock tire is 32.6" and a 285/75R17 is 33.8" I believe. That's a 1.2" difference. I would just like to reduce that delta as much as possible.

275/70R18. Anything larger may fit but will sit lower. Six Overland claimed to fit a Falken 34" in the spare location. I couldn't fit a 33.8" so not sure how it was accomplished.

 

[S SUBERI]

Thanks, that cuts the delta down to .6". That should work fine

Just went to 275/70 r18 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts. Couldn't be happier.

Stock suspension and fits in the spare location. Here's some pics. I'll shoot a better spare/rear picture when there's better light.

That's a beefy tire! Looks good.
