Hello from Maine

Hi everyone,

Reporting from Portland, Maine. Just picked up my LC250 FE about month ago. I was driving a Subaru Outback for about 3 years before that. I am in love with my new LC and cannot wait to upgrade it! Anyone have any recommendations for my first upgrade purchase?

Welcome! A FE comes pretty much loaded. Better tires? Rear differential skid plate?

Welcome! I’m up in the county. I tend to keep my vehicles fairly close to stock. The only thing I’ve done is to get some 18” rims with 255 blizzaks for the winter.

Your biggest issue with new rims will be whether you want poke or no poke. Original rims are all about +60 mm offset... But most aftermarket rims are nothing close to that which leaves the wheel poking out.

I went with a skinny tire and +35mm offset to minimize poke. But I'm old.

Enjoy your new cruiser and the forum.

Welcome to the club! For me it's going to be new tires but not new wheels. I wasn't excited about the 20" wheels but the dealer took the price off the car so I went with it. I figure for my use cases it will work with some upgraded A/T tires.

Hello from Massachusetts. I've put Method 703 17x8.5 +35 wheels and Open Country A/T III 285/75 on my FE. Looks good in my humble opinion.
