Running 35's on my GX460

Walk through with me as I show you where you would potentially have to modify along with what it takes in order to fit 35's. Most people don't understand but wheel specs greatly impacts how much effort is needed to fit 35s. I'm running SpiderTrax 1.25" wheel spacers combined with 17x9 -25 offset, which nets me a total of -56.75mm offset. This is NOT ideal and I don't condone this as it takes a tremendous amount of effort. One can achieve the same fitment with a higher positive offset from +0 to -12mm offset and do less work. Running 35x12.50 are wider tires but there are options of 35x10x50 and much easier to work with less modifications.
Again, this is my preference and it may not be the same for you but I hope you've learned something and if there is something that I missed, please comment below!

Right on man love the style and effort. Beautiful rim I’m a shiny rim guy with some big meat around it

@@davidbaltimore9547 appreciate the kind comment! Still getting used to the shiny rim but definitely puts more effort in keeping the whole car clean haha.

I’ve got 33’s on my gx and have been fighting the 35’s for so long and looking at yours definitely tells me I’m ready. Love your setup.

@@Kris_leyden I used a 2005-2015 washer bottle I found on Amazon, was $55. Drilled new mounting holes for the sensors a d made my own brackets. Really easy and super cost effective compared to the rest.

How's the spidertrax spacers holding up over time man?

[@exiong81]

@@HungNguyen-jq2lx they’ve been on since I’ve lifted it. 4 years and 30k later still fine with no issues. I’ve driven as fast as 90mph and nothing shakes or is abnormal.

[@HungNguyen-jq2lx]

@@exiong81Really appreciate your reply! Im running 33s on 0 offset RRW wheels rn and just ordered the spacers for a better stance. Im not going 50mph on a desert or anything but I wheel the rig to go camp on weekends alot, was paranoid abt the spacers failure lol. Really appreciate your response.

[@exiong81]

@@HungNguyen-jq2lx no problem! Adding spacers will definitely give you that aggressive stance but bear in mind that you’ll be going from 0 to -31.75mm if you decide to you Spidertrax 1.25” spacers. With that in mind, you’ll have to do a body mount chop, hammer pinch welds, and more plastic trimming cause you’ve increased the wheel scrub radius with spacers. I hear you on those horror stories but truthfully, those stories applies true but the real facts is that poor quality spacers exists and that human error also exists as well. Buy quality spacers and maintain them and they’ll last. I’ve wheeled with mine and drove pretty fast through wash board roads with my GX. I also know plenty of guys who wheels HARD with spacers and have clocked well over 50k with spacers and been fine. Good luck though!

[@HungNguyen-jq2lx]

@@exiong81Thanks for the heads up man! And yes, I had my bmc done and fender trimmed since I jumped on 33s. Casters are at 3.6 now I'll see if I have to do the pinch well. Really appreciate the info brotha!

[@golfnerd3107]

What grill is that? I know it’s not OEM, how would you rate the quality?

[@exiong81]

It’s an aftermarket TRD knockoff grille for the Prado J150 but fits the US Lexus GX460. The quality is decent and the fitment is good.

Your GX looks great but this is KZbin man, I'd rather hear you speak than reading text.
