Default After market wheels

I have a 2015 LX 570 and am looking to replace factory wheels. Looking at Fuel D666 Shok wheels. Can someone tell me the bout pattern and offset that will fit? Looking at 18x9 with 5x150 bolt pattern.

My understanding is if they fit a Toyota Tundra they will fit a Lexus. See link below.

You have the correct bolt pattern 5x150. Use this site to compare your stock wheels to the D666.

You can also use this wheel and tire database from mud.

Here is the thread from mud where they talk about wheels and tires.

Thank you. Do you know the specs for the Lexus factory 18” wheel?

It looks like the Fuel D666 does not fit the 13-15 LX570

"This particular wheel doesn't fit your 2014 Lexus LX, but we have many other wheels that do fit. more details on - https://www.carid.com/fuel-wheels/d666-shok-1pc-matte-bronze-1272705995.html"

Yeah that’s what their site says but wondering if accurate. Says it fits the tundra.

Most sites will say it doesn't fit since 20's are the smallest stock wheel the 570 ever came with.

You want to use the Land Cruiser as the proxy, they can come with 18’s.

An 18x9” wheel will require a 285 section width tire. There are reports on the ih8mud forums database of rubbing when using 285s, but all of those reports have a lift.

I have a set of Method 18x9’s coming with 285/65/18 tires and I will hopefully know on Wed if I have any issues.

The thing to check with any rims is the offset. Lexus/Toyota stock wheels have between 45 and 65 offset, most aftermarket rims I looked at have a 25 or zero offset. It is recommended to not go lower than 25.

Perfect. Thanks for the reply. The Fuel wheels I’m looking at have the same offset as the Methods you are ordering at +25. Please reply with how they fit your Lexus.

The wheels fit perfect. The 285/65/18 tires rub on the wheel wells when turned about 3/4s of the way.

can you add a spacer behind the wheels to increase the offset?

A spacer would decrease the offset, and no I don’t think that would help. It is only rubbing on the back wheel well and only when turned 3/4s or more. I can fix it it’s a modification to the mudflap. People either trim them or use a heat gun to reshape.

i didn’t take a pic of the rubbing, but here is a shot.

Looks great! Can you post a full side pic? Do you have any issues when the suspension is set to the lowest level?

Don’t they also make a 285/60R18 tire that would be a shorter side wall and may eliminate the rubbing problem vs the tires you purchased 285/65R18

Our Land Cruiser uses 285/65R-18 Toyo ATII's on oem 18" aluminum wheels. It's close, but no rubbing and it's been articulated like the devil off road.

Road noise is not noticeable, and I've had her up to 104 mph where the rpm limiter takes over. It's a nice combination for street and what the USFS and BLM call "roads".
