2024 J250 First Edition in Trail Dust with new wheels

Here are the specs: 17" RIVAL 17X8.5 6X5.5 106 +25 M-GNMTL MBLK35x11.50r17 TOYO OC AT lll. Removed ugly mud flaps and front plastic things under front bumper but no cutting.

Thanks. Fyi, I was getting 17.5 MPG with 91 octane driving in a mellow fashion and now with the new wheels it's closer to 16 MPG. No idea how anyone can get 20+ with this thing.

16 is pretty good! With the 12.5in tires, I'm getting about 14

Best I ever got was 19 with all stock stuff, but I've got a heavy lead foot...

Looks really nice! I just ordered my wheels and need to remember the 11.5 when I order my tires. Any chance you can snap a shoot from the front of the truck? I’d love to see how they sit under the vehicle and how that width looks.

I've been getting 22-23 mpg, depending on how much highway driving I've been doing. 75 mph in a brick definitely lowers mpg (22), but mixed driving gets me 23. I'm on the 265/60R20 tires - great for driving around town and on the highway. I'll get a second set to use for offroad and will surely see mpg go down.

Nice mods for your LC. Any chance you could give us some pics from the front and rear to see the poke?

Here are a few images that show the poke, pretty much right at or just slightly beyond the fender flare.

You can just barely see them in the side mirrors when going in reverse, which is perfect for me.

Man that looks great! Definitely the look I’m going for as well. Thanks so much for sharing!
I assume the mudflaps wouldn’t fit with that size tire?

I think the mudflaps would still fit, certainly on the rear, but in my eyes they make the truck look squatty. There is something about the mudflaps that causes me to perceive it to look pulled down and lower than it is. Even without the new wheels the mere removal of the mudflaps (and the front under bumper plastic things) made the truck much nicer looking to me.
