Check out the link for the thread.. there are more pictures and the owner was happy to provide others.
Have any pics where you can see the side of the vehicle too? I have a black LC, looking at making the same upgrade
What size? and any rub at stock height? looks awesome
Yes.

This thread is amazing! Going for 17x8.5 +25 and lookin to do 285/70/17 as well. Just confirming you were able to fit a same size spare underneath?
I was able to fit both the Nokian Outpost nAT and Toyo Open Country III in 285/75/17 in the spare spot, but just barely. You could check the actual diameter of the tire you're looking at compared to the two above. Also obvious, but you'll lose some clearance underneath in the back with the wider wheel and tire. But I'll be getting a bumper with swing out for the spare when available anyway.
I replaced the 245's on my 1958 with Firestone AT2's in 265/70/18 and there are zero issues - you can use your stock wheels. This is the OEM tire size on the LC and FE trims so no rubbing or poke, the speedo is likely off a 1 or 2 MPH but that's not an issue for me.
Thank you! I was hoping to run 255 70 R18 Michelin Defender LTX tires for Minnesota on-highway traction, which worked well for me in the past. Looks like they will work just fine.
