Land Cruiser Tire Upgrades?

[Stage7]

Is anyone running a 11.5" wide tire on stock suspension/height without any rubbing/issues? I'm looking at the Toyo AT/3 285/70/R17 with +40mm offset. Toyo's site lists them as 11.5" wide.

you'll be fine with that offset.

you'll be fine with that offset.

I should mention that it's a 9" wide wheel. On the wider end of what I've seen others running on a stock setup.

People are running a 285 tire on 18 inch rims without problem so a 17 inch rim shouldn’t be a problem as the diameter of a 285 70 17 tire is nearly an inch smaller than a 285 70 18. The 17 Toyo is 32.7 diameter. The 18 inch is 33.6. The width shouldn’t be a problem.

I'm curious if anyone is running a Toyo Open Country ATIII in P285/70r17. The width seems a little wider than what you'd get on tire size calculator and maybe other brands. Toyo has the width listed at 11.5 rather than 11.2.

11.5" width with a +40 offset with 9" rim should not be an issue.

Well…those people are incorrect. My spare 285/70 is currently mounted in the factory position.

Edit: Oops sorry, I missed the specific tire question. Mine are Mickey Thompson Baja Boss in 285/70R17.

and it sits flush like the stock tire or is at a wonky angle?

I think there is a bit of confusion here. Yes a 285 70 r 17 will sit "flush" because it is nearly the same diameter as an OEM tire (32.7 vs 32.6) inches so it will indeed sit "flush"; however it is wider than OEM, so it will poke out of the spare well a bit more. A 285 70 R18 tire is 33.6 inches in diameter and will sit a bit wonky, but you can still stuff it under there. (im using the toyo at3 numbers, other brands will vary just slightly)
