My dogs love it when I’m in the garage as they can see outside but be in shade with a nice breeze.
That's super sweet, great functionality on that.

Great concept never knew existed. Height clearance with this option? Easily accommodate full size SUV eg. Land Cruiser?

I was curious how the front looked with the 255/40-21 as I was thinking of replacing with 265/40-21.
That would increase both rear and front by +2.
However this look like a pretty even match.
Any particular reason you choose the 255 vs 265?
Couple front angle pics of the 255.
(with 15mm Akata wheel spacer).

Sorry for not having an official answer for your land cruiser. it will truly depend on your height associated with garage door opening.

As a reference, i did lose 6 inches in overhead clearance, but i have no issue fitting my daily driver (tacoma trailhunter) with factory lift. I plan to install a roof rack, which will still clear, but where the drawback is when I lift the truck higher, no longer will fit in garage.

Hope the spacers work for you! After a 28-3 lead, then to come up empty, I would still be waking up in a cold sweat after all this time.

It was truly the greatest sports collapse I've ever personally witnessed!

The LC has a 64.2" front track and a 64.4" rear track, (center of tire to center of tire). I'll probably do the same on both axles, with regards to the spacers...I'll take a few pics. 👌🏾

Going back to the stock setup. The 5mm spacer leaves a 3 to 4 mm lip for the wheel to mount. That's a no-go on safety, for me.

First real damage since taking delivery last July. Took a couple of loose pebbles on the highway...even with PPF, somehow it looks like it hit hard enough to possibly bubble up the paint itself. ugh. Also found one under the lip of the hood where it managed to chip the paint even though the PPF is tucked under. Car is a daily driver so it was bound to happen...probably would have been a lot worse if not for PPF!

maybe a heat gun/hair dryer to warm it up and try to smooth it out?

Excellent post clearly showing why you are going back to OEM with concrete illustrations.

Thanks... I love the way the 15 mm looks but with my 295 series tire, rubs just a bit when I take a fairly decent bump.

I thought the hub ring there is only to help mount the wheel and ensure it is centered, and then once the wheel is bolted up, all the force of holding the wheel to the hub is borne by the lug nuts and there should be no forces applied to the hub ring. All that to say is I'm not sure it's a safety issue as long as there is enough lip to rest the wheel while mounting it to ensure it is centered. Am I mistaken?
