How does she ride with Load F tires?
Does the new spare fit easily under the car?
At 32 PSI, drives nice and better steering feel. Steering is not that loose anymore which I like. Not bounce at all.
Looks awesome! I know you said, “you don’t wanna know,” but I’m very curious what your MPGs are.
Fits on mine, barely. A couple mm to spare. I pushed it rearward where it is touching the hitch to gain a little clearance near the diff. It’s close. Don’t think I could fit any larger in the spare.
BFG KO3 275/70R18 @ ~ 33 psi.

On day 2, 15.5 MPG
It should, and I would recommend 285 on the LC. Less on weight, less drag. I’m just a wide tire lover all my life, unfortunately.
this swayed me. Just bought a set. Hopefully they look just as nice on a Meteor Shower LC
I have a set of these that came on my TRD Pro Tundra, and just bought another set (including a matching spare!) they’re sitting in my garage waiting for the arrival of my LCthis swayed me. Just bought a set. Hopefully they look just as nice on a Meteor Shower LC

they look fantastic to my eye, seem to be the right offset to add just a tad bit of width, and seem reasonably priced for what they are (though still a lot of cash)
I might keep the 20's that are on the way for winter use; I suspect those stock tires are a better option than a chunkier all terrain on Ohio's winter roads ...
Yeah I’m really liking the BBS Pro wheels also for my some day to arrive LC. Seems to be the optimum offset. Where are you guys sourcing these? Any decent deals?
I just poked around on FB marketplace (found not much) and then eBay
I got 4 with the OEM tires from a friend that works at a dealership. They had a customer upgrade the wheels and tires the day they bought the car and they gave him a credit for his OEM wheels/tores. I bought them at a discount.
I got the 5th matching spare on eBay for $550. Bought a tire for it from discount tire.
I admit that I'll probably just keep the same spare ... 265/60/20 and 285/65/18 are within a millimeter or two so that seems fine?
