Tire Upgrade ?

It rides better on the roads with the stock tires. And, as ridiculous as this sounds, my wife actually likes it better with the 20" wheelsOnce you lift it, you don’t want to put stock tires back on
. She's wrong, obviously. I'm not saying that's grounds for divorce, but it's gotta be close. 
Looks great!!
i see an obsessed garage logo
Would you be willing to provide one more pic taken from the rear of the vehicle down the side so that I can gauge the offset of that wheel just a bit better?
Thanks!
Just about perfect in terms of fit and poke.

Confirmed a 275/70/18 will fit with stock suspension and wheels without modification. I would not want to go any wider with the stock wheel for fear of rubbing on the upper control arm.
275/70/18 General Grabber ATX on 1958
Put a set of General Grabber ATX in 275/70/18. They are SL load rating. No real change in fuel economy. Before: After:

love it. I think you have really hit the sweet spot of performance, fit, and look. That is of course subjective. But Im in.
Another Nitto Grappler G3 275/70-18 on factory rims. Now looks like a proper off-road capable LC vs those ridiculous street tires. Really like that they would fit in the spare tire carrier and were three peak winter rated. So far they ride great. Going on a trip this weekend so I’ll be able to assess miles per gallon difference but as long as it’s close, it’s pretty well worth the trade-off to me. Got them at Discount Tire.
I currently have the OEM 265/60/20
A friend is selling brand new 275/65/18 winter tires that he had recently bought for his 2020 LC but then sold his LC.
Would those fit? I couldn’t confirm from the spreadsheet and Town Fair Tire said they would be concerned with rubbing. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.
I would also purchase 18” rims!

looks fantastic man, i debated the 17"'s but ultimately played it safe with the 18" TRDs. Love those wheels though.
Understood.
To clarify, I would also buy 18” rims!

The 275/65-18 tire is a smaller diameter than the stock 265/70, not sure why there would be any concern about them rubbing unless the new wheels have a very low or negative offset.
Anyone have the Trail Dust with Bronze wheels in photo?
I'm not sure why it's been suggested that 17" rims could be problematic. I've had less clearance between the rims and the brakes on other cars with OEM wheels. The front has more clearance than the rear, but the rear isn't exceptionally tight either. The easiest way for me to explain is that I can get my wheel brush in between the calipers and the barrels when I clean them. I've had more than one car where that wasn't possible.
I do love the 18" TRD wheels
I wish i had investigated a little more i would have grabbed 17" wheels...although the 18" nittos are backordered so maybeeee lol.I'm not sure why it's been suggested that 17" rims could be problematic.
