GX550 Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Thread (5 Viewers)

Finally got my wheels delivered from Japan.
Rays CR57DR-X HD 18x9+20, wrapped in Toyo AT3s 275/65/18s couldn't go bigger due to garage clearance issues fit like a glove.
My center caps are back ordered but in the way!

Anybody running 18x8.5 +44 or +52 on stock suspension? Pics?
I don't have any customer pics of this setup but it will look very close to stock. That's pretty conservative so it will not rub and will still sit inboard of the fenders by a little but albeit slightly less than your factory wheels. If you want a different wheel design but are not wanting any "poke", this will get you there. If you're wanting a beefier stance, you'll likely want something a little more aggressive.

Hate poke. Wanna see the TE37s in this spec but nobody running em :/

Not what you’re looking for, but here is another visual reference, comparison for you to see poke. My sidewall sticks out just a little. The tread is just even with the top of the arch.
18x8 +25, with 285/70, Toyo AT3 E rating. edit: that’s a 33.7 tire inflated, unladen.
DJ.

edit: if you want a tire (also 33.7..), such that the tread width and wall width are virtually the same, the Cooper Dis AT E, size 275/70/18, is worth a look.

275/50/22 Toyo AT3 EV on the OEM Lux+ wheels installed.

Ride is a little harsher than stock. Can feel the knobbier tires coming to a stop. Ride compliance over bumps not as cushy despite being a touch more sidewall. Noise marginally higher on highway. Looks way nicer IMHO.

There would be no rubbing issues by going to 275/70R18. You are going from 10.4" to 10.8" in width and 32.6" to 33.2" in height. Moreover, by going to offset +35 from +50 the tire would be .39" farther away from OEM.
So forgive me if it's been answered. 2026 OT. But the wheels I'm wanting are 18"+1 offset and wanting to put 275/70's on stock suspension. Can I do this without rubbing? Thanks.

A +1 offset is going to move the outside of your wheel/tire out by 2 inches over stock. I'm guessing the scrub radius will cause rubbing....
 
Just got my stock OT wheels swapped out for the popular Method 703's in the 17x8.5 35+ and went with Falken Wildpeak A/T4W LT285 /75 R17. Fits great with zero rub that I've encountered so far on the factory suspension with no collar lift or anything. Went with the gloss titanium and very pleased with the look. I was initially looking for something in like a dark bronze, but best I could find was the RRW in a 25+ offset and since I haven't decided if I want to do any lift yet, didn't want to chance that not working. I'm happy with the result though, just need to see if I can stuff a deflated spare down below now.
very clean!!
 
I went with Method 703, 17in, +35 offset wheels and 35/12.5/17in Toyo Open Country AT3 C rated tires. Also, I did the Westcott Pre-Collar lift. The C rated tires have more flex than the E rated tires and made up for the lift’s pre-load firmness. I’m happy with the setup, ride and stance!View attachment 21182
Nice! Did they balance ok? Any vibration at high speed?
I'm running the exact same setup but with mud tyres, thinking about changing to an A/T to see if the high speed vibration will reduce. It starts to become annoying when going over 110-115kph. I put 40psi in them also when on road.

The Toyo AT3s balanced fine. No vibration at high speeds. The tire noise on the road is minimal. I run 35 psi on road.
 
Hey guys,
Quick question, has anyone come across good deals or discounts on 22x9.5 wheel + tire packages lately? Looking to go aftermarket on my Luxury+ and pair it with Toyo ATs. Been browsing around, but figured I’d check here before pulling the trigger. Appreciate any leads 🙏
