Got my tires and wheels mounted so I can finally contribute to this thread .
Special thanks to everyone who posted their pics/specs before me...it helped me in figuring out my "ideal" wheel/tire spec

2025 Lux+ on Stock suspension

Volk TE37xt (Shadow Black)
17x8 +20
285/70/17 Toyo Open Country (SL)
Total Weight: ~65LBs vs. ~80lbs for 22" OEM Lux+ wheels

My takeaways:

• Fitment: No rubbing or trimming and in fact, it looks like I could've gone 285/75 but I've read folks start rubbing at that size (on stock, non-OT suspension)
• 17" wheel - This wheel barely cleared the front brake calipers so be careful on where the wheel weights are stuck on as there might not be enough tolerance to clear it.
• Noise/Vibration/Harshness: Definitely hear more "humming" while driving. Hoping it settles a little once the tire get more mileage. slightly more vibration but I feel there's a little less harshness and more "plush-feel" Will need to get more miles on it.
• Poke: I didn't want "that" much poke but it's ok. I think +30 offset is perfect but it even if Rays made that spec, it would have less "lip" on the TE37xt so I'm happy with the compromise. I also installed the front mud flap to limit the debris it will sling up.
• Definitely happy about the weight savings.
• Worth noting since there's a separate thread about this... I got about ~5 full turns on the Rays lug nuts. I measured the stock nuts and it was about 9 full turns so definitely less. I will keep an eye on it and re-tighten every few hundred miles.

look at the previous page for recommendations on extended studs, and lug nuts that give you proper engagement. are you running hubrings? if you are not this could be the cause of vibration

Yeah I've read through it and decided not to run extended studs. I am running hub rings but the vibration is more of running AT tires vs HT tires. It's not bad vibration... more of "resonance"
