Sanity check please -- Method 316 17x8 +25 wheels on LC250

[thognar]

I would welcome a sanity check on the wheels and tires I've selected for my LC250 from those of you that have more experience with this than I do.

Method 316 17x8 +25 Wheel should be 1.65" farther outward than stock 18x7.5 +60mm wheel (offset and width/2 difference)
Toyo Open Country A/T III, 285/75R17 33.9 x 11.3 Tire should be +0.3" farther outward than stock 265/70R18 tire.

So this wheel and tire combination should be 1.95" farther outward than stock. This seems a bit much, but some measurements on my FE LC250 look ok and waiting for a wheel that has a more positive offset (40mm or 35m) will only be .4 to .6 less outward. So..... is this a sane tire and wheel selection?

Thanks

I am in the same boat. I am waiting on Method Wheels MR318's, 18x8.5, +40mm offset. They are 6 weeks out. I am not looking for wheels with a poke.

My concern is poke too. I'm more interested in the upcoming Method 703, 17x8.5, +35 wheels, than the 318s you mentioned, but both would be closer to the stock +60 offset. Being impatient stinks.
