I was wondering and looked it up, both Falken and Toyo have their tires in LT285/75R18 which is about 35". And they fit on a 7.5" rim. In both cases it's an E load vs. the 285/70R18 C load. Between the two I'd pick the C load! I agree with you that I think those tires are 70's, not 75's...
There's a FB post with:
Icon Alloy Recon SLX 18x9 +40 offset
Falken Wildpeak AT4W: load range C, 285/70/r18 33.7
No lift
He says he was unable to get them to rub in (fairly gentle?) offroading. No idea if the spare fits (I'll ask.)
Roughly, if that works the stock wheel will probably also...
The KO3 fits. Some other brands run a little larger in the same size. Iโm eager to hear someone say an A/T4W or Duratrac RT in that size fits as a spare.
Yeah it looks like a 17" wheel will go on there, but I wouldn't want to drive it on a gravel road with only ~5mm from the calipers to the inside of the wheel.
That helpd a lot. Unfortunately he didn't measure from the back of a folded up seat, only with the seats folded down to the back of the front row seats. I'd like to know that distance.
Some of the measurements I did get out of that:
Front to back, 43" with the back seats in place, about 6' to...
Wheel barrel is what I asked. I'll confirm. I was watching the video below which has some good views of the back of the 18" wheels, and based on screen grabs and quick estimates, it looks like the calipers clear the inside of the stock 18" wheel by less than an inch. I keep getting around...
Ok, I asked Method about brake caliper clearance with their 17" wheels. The only wheel they have their own numbers for is the 707 17" with 25 offset, and they say it clears the caliper by 5.6 mm (or about 7/32", less than a quarter inch). (!!!) The 703 and 705 with 35 offset they say they...
For those of us looking into what will fit in the cargo area, can anyone point me to or measure for themselves some dimensions of the cargo area (for the US spec hybrid version) with the seats folded up and the rear door closed? In particular:
Distance from door to seat backs at floor and seat...
Ok, in an attempt to answer the original question, I'll put my terrible photoshop skills on display. I tried to color match the stock wheels to (1) the sliver color of the front fans skid plate piece, (2) the light gray roof, and (3) pure white. The method I used really failed on that last...
Looking at photos & the quick reference guide, it looks like depending on the trim there are a couple blanks to the left of the wheel, one to the right next to the "TOW HAUL" switch, and that one in the center next to the camera view switch. I agree with @EOD Guy that last location would...
I'm much too indecisive to have made up my mind yet! (Plus I'm far enough down the waiting list that I still have a good wait before I have to decide!)
I was filling in the table a little more today, it looks like the Toyo's only have a 2 ply sidewall which has got to help make them lighter...
My default would be 275/70R18, but there's a roughly 10 lb leap going from the few available C/SL load 265's to the E load 275's. The Nokian's and Toyo's do look like they win on weight. I thought I'd heard the Toyo's were not as good as the Duratrac, A/T4W or K03 in snow? That and the weight...
I wasn't even aware of these! Thanks. I've added them to my spreadsheet of AT/Off-Road tires for the stock 18" wheels so I have a few more options to endlessly ponder while waiting. This is one of the lowest weight options.
Edit to say oh, wow, it actually inserted the spreadsheet?!? That's...
I didn't include them in the table (or the older Wildpeak or the non-RT Duratrac) simply because they've been replaced by newer presumably improved designs.
