FWIW, the answer is no. 2002 LX470 with 285/75r17 on 17x8s with zero offset, a little bit of torsion bar crank, took that pinch weld all the way back to flat and I'm still rubbing when the suspension cycles. I think they're actually rubbing on the little bolt head that holds the trim on, but they're definitely rubbing on something and they'll rub bad on the trail. Hope this helps somebody.
Can you post a video of your setup? I’m really interested in getting this exact rim and tire combo but I’m trying to decide what kind of lift I need to fit these
Im running scs ray10 +25 offset rims with 285.75.18 nitto trail grapplers, and i did cut off the pinchweld but i still need to trim off the front bumper corners as well
I have a 99 LX myself. I have the factory ahc suspension and a 1 inch body lift. I have 35x12.5x20 nitto mud grapplers. My rims have +25 offset. I have absolutely no rubbing unless I'm in low on the suspension. If you wouldn't mind a suggestion. I'd keep the ahc suspension for a couple reasons. Mostly for the adjustable shock rate at the touch of a button and also with the ahc suspension while driving on the road getting to the trail.... If going around a corner at speed and the truck leans the suspension will stiffen up on the side that needs it to help keep it upright and not roll over. Especially if you plan on adding weight up high on the 100 series
Personally I love my ahc suspension. And I don't ever plan on getting rid of it. I wish I could add a picture of my LX. I have a winch bumper and a apex badlands 12k winch and of course a snorkel. Also have a victory 4x4 roof rack. I've driven down rivers about 4 feet deep no problem
Can vouch for the performance of the AHC system. If it's in good condition and the lines are rust-free, you'll get many miles of trouble free performance. I will note that what I think is the key factor in Wayne's setup is the body lift. A body lift will get you true wheel clearance, not just move the suspension further down the arc like a lift kit will. To fit 34s, I would add a 1/2" body lift and maybe a 1/2" sensor lift on the AHC system for good measure.
I've thought about maybe getting stock non AHC rear springs and front torsion bars and installing on mine just to help some with the added weight of my front winch bumper and roof rack. I'm going to be adding a rear bumper as well as soon as I can figure out what exactly I'm wanting for a rear bumper
@@waynechenault4596 i would recommend the King KTRS-79 springs for the rear. Non-AHC coils tend to be too high of a rate to work with AHC unless you are severely overloaded.
Zero offset rims on the ifs 100 is not a great combination, especially with larger tyres. Not only does It looks stupid with that amount of poke, but it won't perform that great. In my opinion, the ultimate size and offset is a 285/75r16 with about +30 offset 16" rim. This +30 still gives a little amount of tyre poke from the guards without stuffing up your steering geometry or having guard contact. Also, the difference in tyre size is only 3%, so not worth going up to that size for just an overlander /touring vehicle.
Hey Steve, I’m running 285/75/16 falken atw3 on stock rims. Am I right in thinking the stock rims are 0 offset? I have 2” lift. The wheels look tiny now, but the general consensus seems to be that they are the optimal size for the 100 series. Do you think the offset is the key. Eg get different rims ? If so , is that +30? Cheers.
@@Adhdad1 No, the stock rims on the ifs 100series are +60. Only the solid axle Cruiser came with zero offset. Stupidly, people still do run zero offsets on their 100series, it's too much poke and you will rub the guards on full compression when running 33s.
Your LX looks great with that wheel and tire combo, very clean. If you have the time, couple questions: Is your LX at Neutral or High AHC positon in this video? With the zero offset of those rims and the 285/75 tire do you get rubbing after the pinch weld mod at full turn? Do the tires tuck into the fenders when crawling or do they hit fenders? Would you still go with the same setup or change anything? Thanks!
Great questions. ACH in Neutral. The only rubbing i get is turned all the way to the right on the back of the windshield washer bottle shield. I haven't been off road with it yet, but the tires will hit the fenders, they wont tuck. As much as I like the wheels I would change them to something with less offset. I will also be removing the ACH system in the near future. Hope this helped.

Looks good! Excited to see what you do with the trailer.
Thanks! I’m afraid of what I might do with it. lol
Ug Too Big-So Now it's Hammered, Just Lift it!@@BeavBrodie1
Those rims are amazing!
Just ordered that exact wheel/tire setup for my LC100, stoked to see how it'll turn out!

That bumper needs its own zip code. Looks fantastic on a Lexus.
haha. thanks!
😂😂😂
Yeahh what bumper is it
2003 100 with OME lift and older 16x8 rims, I am running 295s BFGs with no problems
Loving the build series. Once it's completed will you do a challenge video between the 100 and 80?
Thanks! Sure, there’s probably several good comparison videos to be made. Thank you for watching. 🙏🏽

Well damn… I get the wheel offset making a difference, but surprised to hear that tire size doesn’t rub. The suspension really that good?

What’s the rim specs tho. 17”x? -0 offset is handy to no but rim width is important also. Thanks
hola ! que medidas son las cubiertas, 315 - 75 - 17 ?

Good info & I dont disagree. I may end up changing wheels to a different offset at some point.

what width wheels would i want for this tire size?
but not if you do a 2" body lift brutha! @@SteveBurns80
These wheels are sick. Front center cap won’t clear?

@@BeavBrodie1 Thanks so much for the response that is really helpful.
I heard 33’s fit stock. That’s what I’m going with on my 05 LX
I put 33 TOYOS on my 07 and have a 2.5 inch lift and I have rubbing. I went with 17x8.5 rims with a zero offset.
Still have AHC?
Yes, still on all stock suspension.
@@BeavBrodie1 Apparently it works well in Low ??
