33.5" with a 2" lift would give full flex and actual off road capable

[@RonRussell-sj1zf]

Black wheels are a "no go" for good looks, machined is definitely the best look. IMO.

[@ladwenjang]

I went with 18" Tundra TRD PRO BBS wheels with stock Falcons, 285/65/18's for my white 1958. They look beautiful and no rubbing. Thanks for your video. I feel that I made the right choice.

[@TRDJon]

Thats what I am looking to do on this too.

[@eltea3592]

@@ladwenjang Hey that’s exactly what I want What color and offset are they? I thinking of the 2857028

[@user-rw7xd7qy3j]

Your wife " I don't hate it" cracked me up.

[@TRDJon]

Lol hahahahha baby steps

[@itsdarkest]

Polished on LC looks amazing! Really fits the style.

[@TRDJon]

It really does man!

[@andyleo8418]

Looks really good. Fits the LC's retro style. Just need a smaller size tire. Those are way too big. Lifting it will hurt MPG. She drives a lot using premium gas so a "shorter" tire will help fuel econ as well.

[@PROutdoors94]

Man the first time I saw the stock rims on the LC, I thought they were way too basic. But now that I see all these pics and vids with custom rims, the more the stock rims grow on me and seem like they just fit the classy look of the LC more. The most I’d do is keep the stock rims and swap for slightly beefier 33’s but that’s about it.

[@rickper]

I’m getting same color, I just can’t decide on wheels, sometimes I hate the stock ones then other times I’m like they are not that bad!

[@4WDisLife]

Thought ur wife needed a good mpg suv. 😂

[@jtalonrider4769]

😂😂🤷

[@dsaltlife2925]

I thought he said the same thing 😂

[@JJJ5.7]

Go down a size. Rather then cutting and parting out.

[@TRDJon]

Yep. Will still be better than the 16 mpg the other vehicles get.

[@jeffm5099]

​@@TRDJonnot really, especially when you factor in premium fuel, it'll probably pencil out very similarly. Then add in all the taxes and fees you paid for a new vehicle, in addition to the instant depreciation once you drove it off the lot, and you're paying more than just keeping the 16mpg vehicle.

[@mikealeman30]

Looks super clean. The final wheel set up in a dark color would lol awesome as well. Perfect poke and wheel Fill.

[@timbrown7980]

I like the silver mags! Nice throwback look. Those tires aired down are gonna rub like crazy!

[@TRDJon]

I think so too!

[@shawnuff1974]

Been running those tires for a year and a half now, 275 55 20 on my 2017 toyota 4runner limited, road tripped in them and you would love them if your looking for a daily driver tire you definitely made the right choice, your wife would definitely appreciate them as well, and also the wheels look fire on the land cruiser, they really pop on with that color, it's not the same old boring black and the same look being done over and over again. Hope she enjoys. Oh and those wheels on there definitely gives it the 2024 80 series landcruiser vibe as well.

[@jase9951]

General rule of thumb: Adding unsprung weight creates 10lbs effect for every one pound added. ( +10lbs/tire x 4 = 40 (multiply x10 for unsprung weight) = same effect on power and fuel economy as driving around with 400 pounds dead weight in the vehicle. )

[@TRDJon]

Dang that’s a lot!

[@robbanks7393]

What about speedo recalibration? Any changes?

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Jon! Thanks for making it. Getting caught up on videos this morning.

[@TRDJon]

I appreciate you! Glad you are busy my friend!

[@Markuson3]

I hope you’re remembering that the tires must also clear on full suspension compression WHILE TURNING.

[@Julian-nt5wh]

You bought this car to save on MPG and now you're putting 35 tires on it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TRDJon]

lol to get better mpg than my other vehicles hahaha. It still will haha

[@jeffk464]

Nope, I think 34s

[@martinmcintyre7623]

Just removing those front clip pieces probably compromised 1mpg. Car makers put those ugly things on for a reason.

[@Lucky-jj7ib]

That was LITERALLY my first thought! LOL

[@ggarrison1087]

just let the artist cook - im not here to see how many mpgs he can get.

[@TimmyGoesHard]

Those wheels work perfect with the color of the LC. I think this is my favorite LC on youtube. Great content as always Jon.

[@TRDJon]

Thank you so much.

[@vikashummer]

those shiny wheels look bigger than the LC (almost makes it looks like a Monster truck), the black ones (17in) with offroad tires are perfect!

[@bryangoyette5364]

any update on MPG with the new wheel & tire package?

[@nelsoncolon9616]

I like em. Like how they kind of match the top too.

[@TRDJon]

For sure. Thats what I was thinking too

[@nelsoncolon9616]

[@willseeadventures]

That Cruiser looks good with those tires! I excited to see how it would look with the Tundra TRD pro wheels.

[@TRDJon]

You and me both!

[@itsdarkest]

285/75r18 probably wouldnt rub, theyre a bit taller, closer to 35, but theyre about half an inch narrower

[@davidgoulden3543]

Jon they look fantastic I,m gonna do the exact same slightly smaller tyres so no lift needed I,m still waiting for my FE order to be confirmed here in the UK

[@juanmedina-qp6nd]

Random question but does the Land Cruiser LC trim come with Skid plates from the dealership that cover the engine, transmission, and transfer case?

[@jangofett5806]

Curious to see how the fuel economy changes with the new tires.

[@franciscocruz6726]

So it looks awesome with a great retro vibe. I would add a thin white pin stripe on the body line that crosses from the fender to the quarter pannel.

[@TRDJon]

Cool idea!

[@studio3686]

Rims are like shoes... another way to express our own personal style. If you like it, then rock it! Personally, i think it looks great. Dare to be different. =)

[@skippymarone1251]

Any idea how much poke this set up would have on a 2024 4x4 Tundra. Looks like a perfect set up.

[@TRDJon]

It would have a tad less I feel

[@digital_0630]

Any idea if the stock LC wheels will fit on a 4runner?

[@Diamondplayz-ui6mo]

The black wheels look better, thanks for sharing Sir.

[@TRDJon]

Always!

[@jafutube1]

Im curious - what do you like better so far, your 4runner or the landcruiser ? And why?

[@TRDJon]

4R. Land Cruiser is better to drive but the 4R will stay longer

[@jafutube1]

@@TRDJon good to know, I had deposit down for landcruiser,but changed my mind and bought 23 TRD off-road instead

[@jeffspicoli2643]

Wheels look amazing with the retro package!

[@TRDJon]

I think so too!

[@shrimpboychan]

Oh those bronze wheels were the absolute jam brother. 👌👌

[@Jonnyfixedgear]

I'm really surprised that no one has commented that a lift doesn't create clearance. Sure at static height there will be plenty of room but as the suspension compresses that clearance goes away and the tires will rub. Perfect example is turning onto a cut out in a parking lot or driveway.

[@TRDJon]

Very true. But with 98% being normal height driving it would help out a bit.

[@leviyaakubov1875]

Thanks for your sharing. After watching your excellent video. I would lower the density in the wheel arches with the help of 285.70.18 tires. And you get a gift of about half an inch extra for belly height.

[@TRDJon]

Great tip!

[@ZackThomas]

I dig the polished look with the blue/greyscape. Waiting on my LC (Meteor Shower) and picked up some of those TRD Pro wheels myself. Should be a good look, I hope!

[@TRDJon]

Good choice!

[@malifestro3319]

I have a wrangler and I don't like poke. I kept with 25m offset on 35s to keep them inside. These ones, they honestly look too big. I like the size of the smaller 17. I like the polished look though. And I do wonder if it were just lifted maybe 2", not as much as you had on the jack if that would help. But I personally would see if I could get a diff offset. The polished and paint color look great to me.

[@JStryker7]

I’d still go with 17s. The one you tested on there looks smaller because it’s black. 17 would work in silver and you could fix the rubbing issue

[@pashapash85]

not gonna lie, it looks awesome BUT i think you need one more refrigerator for it to come together perfectly

[@billabongwaikiki]

Would you be able to do a night video highlighting the interior and exterior lights?

[@TRDJon]

I showed the head ligths on the delivery video. But I can do that again.

[@billabongwaikiki]

Ah thank you 🤙🏽

[@vimejiasve]

I like those rims and tire combo, don't need any lift, just push the plastic away from the tire

[@jona3052]

Do you have a leveling kit on it ?

[@trevorjamesbradley3010]

Interested to see the craziness this years SEMA show will bring to the new Cruiser and Runner

[@mozartheart2958]

Looks cool! I would suggest using the same tire size as J80, with the same rim look. J80 size is 275/70/R18 and fits without any mods and does not affect odometer

[@TRDJon]

Will look at that one!

[@michaelp6479]

Having driven both the Land Cruiser and the Tundra, which one do you enjoy more Tundra vs Land Cruiser vs 4 runner? I have a ‘23 Tundra and I’m thinking about changing over to the LC or 4rnr.

[@TRDJon]

The LC is probably the best to drive honestly. But for me the Tundra is more fuctional for what I do and need though

[@Marks.Reviews]

Has to be wheels with some machine silver in the finish, so machine silver highlights with matt black inlays.

[@alco4468]

That front bumper is made to come off in several pieces as needed … so you could have easily taken off bottom black bumper and had zero rubbing and it still look good

[@RJ-vc2ju]

Offset calculations are pretty straight forward. No reason to be surprised that these poke (making you one of those that breaks other people's windshields) and that they don't fit. Those 34" (34.29" is 34 not 35) unsprung mass are going to do wonders on the aluminum knuckles...The silver wheels do look good on the Prado in that colour.

[@elix9099]

These wheels on this alone made up my mind to order the car

[@TRDJon]

Oh nice! Haha

[@norodom2074]

Good choice of wheels. Looks great !

[@TheFamilyCruiser250]

The machined silver definitely looks great with the heritage blue. If I had a heritage blue LC250, I would go vintage and go white wheel 😉.

[@MrChadx1]

Wheels look pretty good. Way too much tire poke for my tastes, however. Different offset and going to a 285 wide, rather than these 295, would look perfect. 285/75R18 (34.8") would likely be a bit too tall, even though they are a bit narrower, so maybe the 285 with a 70% sidewall. 295/70R18 (34.3") vs 285/70R18 (33.7") is only 0.6" difference in height. And the slightly shorter and narrower tire, than the one in this vid, will be less headaches, but still have the oversized look and benefits, such as more sidewall and better rollover. This video convinced me that 285/70R18, with wheel offset the same as, or close to, stock, will be the go-to tire for the new Land Cruiser.

[@eltea3592]

I have a 2024 Limited Edition Traildust and was thinking the same 285 70 18. Just trying to figure out the offset. Want to put on Method Titanium rims

[@johnjohnston7430]

Jon great video, beautiful LC, I like both combo's, smaller AT tires with those be perfect, personally have two sets for my old 2012FJ, use more aggressive set when doing any serious off roading. Have had a couple LC 80&100 miss both. like the 250 a lot! Look forward to additional coverage of it.

[@TRDJon]

Thanks man!

[@frankyrodriguez751]

[@mujtaballa3105]

Looks good man. Polished wheels are the way to go

[@TRDJon]

[@AlphaOmega333]

Hey John, besides the plastic well area, were these 295s hitting the insides like the UCAs etc?

[@TRDJon]

They were not with this offset.

[@montebeerbower7796]

I want that truck. Can't afford the 1st edition but I want the round head lights and power seats. Try to build a 1958 but it wouldn't give me options to add power seats and bigger screen and heated seats

[@winstonwoo9349]

Polished wheels look nice, but I'm certain they would require more maintenance to look good all the time.

[@golfgolf7692]

Machine polished definately.

[@francisbulangeti8630]

It looks so good 💯 and more aggressive

[@jakejoebob]

I think the Trd Pro wheels would Pop but the sliver RRW's add to the "old school/ New school" vibe of the LC. And the silver pops with the gray roof!

[@TRDJon]

Agreed bro!

[@PureBlood777]

Wheels make all the difference. Out of all your Toyotas I like the Land Cruiser the best. 👍

[@TRDJon]

Yea!? I appreciate it!

Yes it will be off a little

[@TRDTalk]

I love that you immediately start modifying it 😂

[@TRDJon]

Had to see how they would look!

[@FortuneTacoAZ]

I’m not really a fan of the polished wheels but you are right with the roof color, even though I personally don’t like polished wheels these wheels look good on the cruiser because of the color combo with the roof

[@9663mu]

Looks great mate. Almost makes it even more retro look. Bad ass for sure.

[@joshpeck443]

Machined wheels for sure…black can be cool but its so good the way it is. 1.5in lift to get rid of the rubbing and it’s perfect

[@CavKyle]

Stock wheels with the new tires would look the best. Or you should try your 4Runner wheels

[@bobs619]

Hmmm. Torn between LC or 4 runner

[@planetbern]

Might want to try a 285/75r17 it gets you close to a 34", not as heavy, good sidewall and w smaller 17 rim. That is what I run on my 2023 Tundra on TRD 4Runner rims. EDIT ✍️ I see you got those too!

[@JayD-p8i]

Looks great! That silver definitely looks better than the stock. Though you'd have had a better fit (slightly) with 34" KO2s. 34x10.5 on 17s, with about the same diameter. That 10.5 width is where you'd get the advantage. They're D load. Got them on my wrangler, quiet and comfy. Just rub off the dust from the sway bars at full lock, no lift. Theyre expensive though!

[@TRDJon]

Yea definitely don’t need that heavy of a tire but that’s an awesome size!

[@TinkerersAdventure]

These tires look much better! I walked into a first edition the other day and I genuinely thought it was the 1958 because of those lame stock tires. Man even the FJ trail team edition got some BFG KOs

[@TRDJon]

And the FJ TT had wayyyyyy better looking TRD Wheels too from what I remember. The wheel and tire choice in this was meh. The GX definitely got a thoughtful tire for the Overtrail

[@nsocialsnetwork2171]

[@EchoSigma6]

I agree the 18’s look better. The machine alloy wheel does give it visual pop but the design to me is not appealing. All those spokes remind me of sedans from 90’s and it’ll be more work to clean. Maybe a six spoke or 6 hole look?

[@TRDJon]

For sure! I can see that

[@JayD-p8i]

The recon grappler in 295x70r 18 are 63 lbs a tire, the k02 34x10.5 r 17 are 56 lbs per tire (per tire rack). The lighter weight, and the 10.5 for the better fit... just sayin'

[@TobyCostaRica]

These wheels match the retro modern look of the LC

[@billseiler4952]

[@jeffk464]

I think he needs to go down to 34" tires and do a 1" to 2" lift.

[@jackbauer9347]

black matte wheels +25 offset with 2 inch max lift so you don't rub the bellows on the CV boots.

[@iwazaru8101]

Great vid. Wheels look great. I would have gone with 285/70 but they may still rub. I never understood why Toyota is so stingy on wheelwell space. Would it be so detrimental to the structural integrity of the car frame to afford each wheelwell 1" more space?? BTW, love seeing what the rig looks like without those silly front canards.
