Really looks sweet, looking to do the same tire and wheel combo. Do you have a side view?

And the spare?

That size will not fit in the spare spot. Need to go with smaller tire or wait for a rear swing mount which I’m doing.

This with the Toyo leveling kit you used is identical setup to that video on how to fit 35"on. And I really like this look. No offset and looks solid.

Thanks. Yes, we followed

thanks. Yes, copied the YouTube video. Dealer thought we may need to remove the crush bracket but ended up not removing it. No rubbing but it’s real close. I may end up removing it.

Maybe helpful to some people thinking about 35s

Added new tires and wheels today. Went with Toyo AT3 and 275/70/18. Method wheels.

This looks awesome! Which method wheels are these and off set.

method 707 matte black with 18mm offset. Toyo AT3 275/70/18. Basically the rounded part of the tire sticks past wheel well flare. The tread is under the wheel well still.

Great thank you! Is it on factory suspension?

Do this fit straight on stock? No rubbing at full compression?

How is the ride on the Toyo AT3 275/70/18? I am a bit worried about ride on the E rated tire.

The ride on my E load KO3’s is definitely firmer than stock, but I also feel like LC handles slightly sharper and feels more planted. I honestly wouldn’t recommend E load tires if to someone that isn’t going to be off-roading on rocks. I’d probably have tried to find a slightly lighter duty tire if I was mostly doing muddy or gravel roads, but I needed something I felt could hold up to a beating on sharp Colorado and Utah rocks.

I like them. I also have them on my FJ60 series and they run great. I think the E rated thing is a bit overt talked about on forums and the same false assumptions just get passed along. I can barely even tell a difference if I do its in the positive.

I had 265/70/R18 Falken Rubitreks put on today. First, the ride is softer and improved. They are more noisy than the stock Yokohama Geolanders that come with the 1958 but I honestly am unsure if they're quieter than the Wildpeak AT3Ws I have on my Tundra. They cost about half what the Wildpeaks do and they weight around 10 lbs per tire less. I didn't want to kill MPG or have a loud highway tire so I felt this was a good compromise. Looks just about right to me.View attachment 7298

Looks good. I went with Cooper Discoverer Road and Trail in 265/70/18. I'm curious, noticed you have the roof rails on your 1958, did you buy from dealer? If so what was price? I've decided to go this route vs roof rack due to all the feedback around noise. Thanks!

Is this on stock suspension? Any trimming? Thanks

Anyone have recommendations for some white 18 inch wheels?

 

[fulltime4wd]

what size tires?

285/70r17

These fit on stock suspension with slight rubbing at full lock when reversing only. I have not full cycled the suspension, I don't have plans to wheel this rig that hard (light-medium trails)

Thanks for the response, that's great to hear. One more question, How is the MPG?

I'm also in Colorado, but if I'm being honest with myself this is going to spend 95% of my time on road... so just trying to find that right balance. Toyo AT3 265/70/18 or Nitto Terra Grappler 275/70/18 keep me at SL, but would much rather not blow a tire on the sharp mountain rocks...

JBLC, what is your opinion of this tire now that you have it installed? Any difference in MPG, driving dynamics, or noise? I had these on my GX460 and really liked them.
