Fitting aftermarket wheels on a 300 Series Landcruiser. Can it be done!?

- We briefly had the opportunity to see if the new Toyota Landcruiser 300 Series would take on a set of 17" aftermarket wheels. The results were interesting.
Disclaimer: We wish we had the vehicle longer for a much more in depth analysis but this is what we found out in such a short amount of time!
Tyre Review hopes you found this useful and informative. Make sure you get the facts and info before making aftermarket wheel purchases for your 300 Series Landcruiser.

For future commenters, unfortunately we only had about 30 minutes with the car, and weren't allowed to go much further than we did, due to the dealership being keen to not have us fiddle with the car too much. We'll get another 300 and go a bit deeper on it soon!
Good to know they fit!
That wheel looks great on that car !!
I was pretty amazed actually. It just works!
Great to see you guys are test fitting after-market tires/wheels to the 300. I have a question if you guys could cover in your next shoot. What size diameter tire can the spare wheel well accommodate, and will departure angle reduce if wider tires are fitted?
That's a very valid point. Chris has one on order, so whenever they deliver it, hopefully sometime within the next four years, I'll have a squiz and see what'll fit up there. The 200 ones definitely hang low, even with the stock size, so it'll be interesting to see what the 300 is like once you get a 285+ into the wheel well 👍
Very interesting video. Shame it wasn’t possible to test rubbing while at full turn.
Also, with the gap that small between the caliper and the wheel, it makes me wonder if pebbles will be likely to get trapped in the gap…
Yeah, in an offroad situation, you're likely to get crap, even just mud, in there and eventually bugger the wheel. Probably 18" minimum, really, or for street use only with 17's, unfortunately.
Toyota went from 6 studs to 5 studs now back to 6 studs. Way to go. 😂
Logic, am I rite?!
I am running 315/70R17 with a 2 inch lift by king suspension. Barely any rubbing
Down side your brakes may heat up more. As rim to close to the disc.
So Toyota are now using 14mm wheel studs on 6 stud wheels while everyone else uses 12mm.
Does that mean the wheel nuts will not fit properly when you are using mags that were made for the smaller 12mm nuts?
If the caliper is that close, I'd be concerned with wheel weight placement.
Can we put 335/22/R22 on LC300 MY22?
It’s a seven and a half inch wide rim as stamped on the rim
Good pick up. We had the red haze on trying to get the clip done in the time we had the vehicle 😬
Great vid! Do you think we can fit 33” tires with OEM suspension?
Thanks mate! I hear on the grapevine that 285/65 R18 (which is just under 33") will go close, but I haven't eyeballed it yet. Chris has got his new one now, and we're sourcing some of these to see how it goes without a lift 🤘
The GX comes with 17s
My biggest gripe with the LC300 besides the tailgate is the skinny tires 265 wide for a SUV this large looks ridiculous.
At the very least they should kept the 285 wide like the LC200
I'm assuming they did it for fuel economy reasons
Yeah, the tailgate is sad - nowhere to put your stuff anymore!
Totally the 265s are for economy, but it also probably makes the car a lot more tractable for test drives too. I'm sure they were worried about the difference between the old motor and the new one, and smaller tyres (less rotating mass) means that the vehicle will drive amazingly in the first instance, particularly in comparison to a 300 with heavier AT 285s on it.
We did an acceleration run between this 300 and Chris' 200 with 35s on it, and the 300 blew the doors off the 200. It was crazy. Still, a whole bunch less tyre going on.
Use a nut with a shoulder on it as per genuine nut. If you don’t you’ll shear the studs off.
Taking off the standard bin lids is surely going to have to be a must. Interesting the standard tyre that you just pulled off the car looks not that wide, what tyre size is that?
Glad all the aftermarket guys are running to the rescue on this new Toyota 😂😂😂
They've stepped down a size for this new model, and it's a bit odd. From what I understand, the GX comes with a 245/75 R17, the VX/GR/Sahara with 265/65 R18, and the Sahara ZX with 265/55 R20. Aftermarket wheels are a must on most cars, which helps the industry, like you say!
@@TyreReviewVideos its actually funny I am historically an early adopter, yet with this new LC 300 I am far from there yet. And yet I know how good Toyota are with the landcruiser as a generational vehicle. I am not sure if it's all the tech that puts me off, and I am such a fan of the existing V8, but as someone that ordered one before all the specs were released (gr sport) only to be told, I now have to wait 12 to 18 months for delivery, has sort of left me with..... I don't like it that much and I am underwhelmed vibe. First world problems I know so I sound like a tool. Hence to be honest I am more open to the new Ineos grenadier
I hear you. Its a bit of a departure from the usual successful formula, plus there's going to be more choice on the market in the near future. I'm also particularly keen on the new Grenadier, although there's not much info on their ute version yet.
Stock wheel is 7.5", check again it said 7 1/2J. Also, you sure that fuel is 17x8? I reckon it's a 17x9 +20 as that's the only spec they list.
Would a 295/50 r20 fit ok? Or should I go 285’s? what type of offset you think? I like the wheels/tire flush I don’t like them popping out
I just think the skinny 265 tires on the 300 are just not a good look
I’m buying a 300 and first thing I want wider tires.
Thanks a lot
The largest tyre you could fit is 275/70/18 on lc300. Keep that as the base you will get an idea wether yours will fit or not
Get the feeler gauge out to check the clearance 😂
You should see what else I've been doing with my feeler gauges...
Hi there.. have you had an update on the biggest tyre size we can fit on an LC300 with 17 inch rims. Have tried using the 285/70 R17 but it’s touching in the inside of the fender when turning the steering wheel.
Hey mate, haven't heard anything yet, but if it's only touching you could consider changing the offset (new wheels) or asking whoever has done your alignment whether they can pull it forwards or backwards. The wheels I used in this video were +20 from memory, for reference.
@@TyreReviewVideos thanks very much will give it a try and give feedback.
No worries, let me know how you go - I'm keen to follow along as we'll be doing something similar in the close future.
Do you know what offset wheels you're using at the moment?
Hi, about to order 300 series GX model. However, now concerned regarding comment below about smaller brake pads on GX. Also not happy with the thinner rims/tyres 245/75R17 on the GX ( & also not happy with the larger diameter 18 “ rims on the GXL). I would like more common size rims/tyres eg 265/65R17 so that easier to get a replacement tyre up north WA, eg in Derby. I'm keen to ensure that 265/65R17 will fit the GX prior to placing order. Any advice would be welcome on how I can verify this before placing the order?
Hi LK, sounds like you're in a bit of a tough pickle. The smaller brakes on the GX means you can run 17's, so you're more likely to get the more common tyre size, however it means you get stuck with the smaller brakes. Based on the fact that they're released with 17" rims there shouldn't be a problem with fitting most other 17s to it, provided you don't go too crazy with offset.
The other consideration is that the 265/65R17 are actually about 2.88% smaller in diameter than the OE size for the GX, so you're further cheating yourself there, however they'll definitely fit.. It might be worth considering going to a 265/70R17 which is 0.44% bigger than OE, or even waiting till you get it, then seeing if you can fit a 285/70R17 which will be bigger again. The only reason I say to fit it afterwards is because there's a risk it might foul on something as it's a fair bit bigger - almost 4% bigger at 830.8mm diameter rather than 799.3mm. Good luck!
On GX I'd be shocked if the 265/70 does not fit on stock suspension - its what Prados regularly run. Beauty of starting with the 245/75 on a GX is that, by law in some states, you can go up to 295/70 R17 - to get that UP-TO-50mm tyre diameter lift. Would most likely need a lift kit then, or even upper control arms, to avoid scrubbing. Worth exploring options.
So does the GX have smaller brakes then or do the 17” steel wheels off the GX fit fine with the larger brakes?
I've been told the GX have smaller brakes, so there's no guarantee that the stockies from them would fit the upspec vehicles, unfortunately.
Good question. They didn't even list the disc sizes on their brochure.
Are the GX brakes actually smaller? I spoke to two dealerships who said they are the same brake on the GX vs GXL/VX?
The documentation we've seen says they're smaller, but I haven't done an actual side by side comparison yet.
I heard the same thing but they said the GR has bigger brakes than all the others.
What about reserve tire, does it fit under?
Might need some work . Not sure.
I have the new GR sport and looking at getting a r20 or r22 rims. Would +35 offset would be ok? I need the rims to sit flush with the fender
They'd sit about 15mm further in than the wheels in this vid, depending on the width you get. The wheels in this vid are 17x9 +20, and were pretty flush. A little further in would be less cop baity 👍
@Tyre Review thanks for the reply. So as long as i got same width as yours which is 9 inch. +20 would sit flush yes? For eg if i get 20x9 +20 it would sit flush?
@@enrioray2615 Yep, correct. I regret not getting footage down the side of the car, but it was so flush, it was amazing. That's with 285 wide tyres, too, FYI.
@@TyreReviewVideos 17x9 +30 would be less cop baity.
The GX is +50 offset so +25 should be legal in pretty much all states
Interesting! I wonder if that's because they come with the 245/75 R17 tyres, which means then that they've got a similar track width to the 265/65 R18 on most of the rest of the models?
@@TyreReviewVideos at a guess I'd say yes, outside tyre wall to wall should be the same on all models.
Do you think 35x12.5x17 will fit on the 300?
I am running 315/70R17 with a 2 inch lift by king suspension. Very slight rubbing on extreme turning - easy to live with. Looks awesome
WHAT SIZE TIRE DID YOU PUT ON? Thanks
285/70/17
Hi i just got my GR sport lc300, the factory tires are 265/65/r18. Whats the biggest tires i could fit on my factory rims without having any problems?
32.8 will the max I think. Less than 33 but still pretty big.
i managed to install 275/70 on the 18 in GR rims
@@bin_majed any rubbing?Lifted or stock?
@@oriondoublecrossed no rubbing. i am having the full stock set up and changed only the tires. i choose the Michelin LTX A/T2 275/70 R 18 (Stock GR rims). i belive this ewuals to 33.05 inches if i am not mistaken
That many 18 inch options in tyres and rims these days why drop to 17 if you don’t have too?
For some it's more about the height of the tyre you can get. If you go down an inch, then you get half an inch more tyre between the ground and the rim, which is good for off roading and potential ride comfort. It's also becoming a bit of a fad out of the US to run as small a rim size as you can, to get a larger amount of tyre... I guess it's a thing?
@@TyreReviewVideos I guess it makes sense if the vehicle can only handle a certain size tyre so limiting your ability to air down off road . The patrol for example can fit 34-35 inch tyres on 18s so not an issue but other vehicles will only handle smaller which as you say will potentially be an issue off road
Are those 33" tyres?
285/70R17, so slightly less than your actual 33", but what folks generally call 33" these days 👍
Need 18 s on it...
Yep, I reckon that'd be the safer way to go 👍
I dunno how people afford new cars every year
Why would you want to do this? Leave the factory ones on, bogan
Why would you want to wear shitty shoes that were designed in the 80's? Same sort of principle.
This guy has no clue about Land Cruiser at all. It's a shame to let him do a car review :-)
Haha, I admit, I'm more of a Ranger man, but we happened to have it here, so I figured we'd give it a crack. I'm always learning, so feel free to point out all my fuckups 👍🤣
The nuts were definitely one. I've only fondled aftermarket nuts for LCs before, so wasn't aware they came with such big lugs from factory on the 200 as well.
