Looks great , nicely done.
Everything is working good. There hasn’t been any rubbing. Honestly I think they look great on the wheels. I thought there would be more of a bulge out on the sides but there is not much with these tires. They didn’t have any trouble mounting and balancing. I wont be doing in heavy off road trails, mainly trips to the beach and ranch on occasion.

That's nice, I have the same tires under my LC. What do you think of the comfort? I have had BF Goodrich AT's under older Landcruisers for years but I find it very stiff under 250 on short ridges and bumps.

Yup, BF Goodrich AT KO3 285/55R20, nice tire, good grip but stiff, too stiff! I ride on 36 psi but unfortunately still very stiff on short bumps! More people suffer from this?
Did you ever go with the 275X65X20? Thats what I am looking to replace the OEM tires. Do they fit with no modifications?
Did you mount the 275x65x20? If so how did they fit?
Mine came with the SET ($rip off$) Nitto Ridge Grappler (I think they look silly too), while they weren’t horrible on dry pavement*, I’d read the reviews on them. I used Continental TerrainContact A/T on my F150 and they are a great tire on the road (especially wet and w/d braking), so I put a set on my LC. Only cons with the TC, life can be shorter, they get flat spots after sitting depending on temp (goes away after a block or two), and some say they have a higher rolling resistance. Cont will stand by their tread life warranty as well.
275/60-20
*I had these on my F150 and I flogged them pretty hard. After 46k they needed to be replaced. Cont/DT gave me $65 credit per tire. I swapped the Nitto’s onto my F150 that is getting traded in on a ordered F150. Worked out well. They look small in the photo for some reason lol.
**After having the Nittos on my F150 for a few days now, I change my comment, they are horrible tires. My new F150 can't show up soon enough.

@Arnovdmale that looks awesome. Any rubbing at all???
Nothing touches or rubs at all, perfect size, just a bit stiffer cheeks. It does seem as if the suspension has become a bit more flexible as the car has driven more, fortunately!
What size Wildpeak’s are these exactly? Love the look, hope to replicate on mine.
Does it fit in the spare well? I have the same question. Thanks
I ran 275/60R20 winter tires and they had no trouble fitting in the spare location.
Ran those all winter here in Vermont. Couldn't be better. Nokian is a great brand.I got 20” rims and our replacement will be Nokian nAT
The tires have an Aramid sidewall like Kevlar. My F250 has Goodyear Kevlar tires and those tires, I feel, have saved me some serious tire damage on Interstate 40. So, I’m sold on the Nokians.Nokian Tyres Outpost nAT - Extend your adventures / Nokian Tyres
Nokian Tyres Outpost™ nAT offers supreme traction in all conditions, extreme durability and puncture resistance, and increased service life so drivers can extend their terrain, toughness and travel.na.nokiantyres.com
