GX550 Overtrail Wheels/Tires on Meteor Shower Land Cruiser

[LALC]

This is the part number for the ones I have, PT280-35221-5F, and they all went on.

I'm curious what they are hitting behind the cap for you, because obviously all the wheel centers are the same size.

I'll will attach some photos here.

But my rear hubs clear the back of the caps no problem, its the fronts that have this portrusion that prevents the new bronze caps from snapping in.

Someone at my office has a GX550 Overtrail, and I really liked the look of the wheels/tires. We had the Toyo AT3s on our previous 4runner and really liked them. I wanted to stick to stock size tires for weight, spare tire, and no worries about rubbing. The Land Cruiser will see difficult forest roads at worst, so they'll be great. I found a set of 4 on facebook and got them for 1100 without tire pressure sensors.

The stock 18" wheel/tire weighed 67lbs on my scale, and the Overtrail wheel/tire weighed 70.4, so that's pretty good. The thing that surprised me was the center caps actually fit. I'm really happy how it all came out.

That looks really good. I have been looking for a set of take-off Overtrail wheels locally. They are expensive through the Lexus parts counter- you have done well.

Those look a lot better than stock. Kinda wish I hadn’t seen this…

Have you just tried rotating the caps to avoid what I'm guessing is some sort of cap for the bearing assembly?

I tried. There wasnt a way to rotate them or reposition them in a way that they wouldve fit. The only way I could see the caps actually fitting would be to cut out the middle of the cap where the plastic "belly" is but I just decided to return them.

In my last response I missed that you replied with the part number (somehow lol). The parts you have are a different #.

My part numbers were PT998-35221-5F where yours are PT280-35221-5F....
Your caps are also $10 more than what I was trying out.

Will these overtrail rims fit the Michelin LTX Trail tires that come with the LC? I have those tires and looking to switch to the overtrail rims for looks but don’t want to pay for new tires at the moment.

Welcome to the asylum cactusjack.

I've got them on mine. The overtrail wheels and stock Toyos on my 1958 in Meteor shower. Better mileage than the stock wheels, but I had LT winters on them so hard to compare. They look good IMHO. I just spray painted the caps

‘24 Heritage Blue /Grayscape with gx550 OT wheels and stock Toyos. Paired with the silver “TOYOTA” center caps. Much better than the OE Dunlops. Now I need to post these 20’s and get them sold.

Look great guys. These are one of the few wheels I would change for. Just need to find some for a deal. Got a pitiful $450 for factory tires and doesn’t seem to be much of a market for our wheels though I have a buddy who wants a set for his new Taco.

adding the PT280-35221-5F caps when the come in from the 25% off sale..

Will let everyone know if they fit.

relatedly - selling 1958 take offs in the marketplace!

I keep going back and forth on pulling the trigger on these wheels.

Did you use your original lug nuts?

The seller sold me his off of the gx550 so I have those black ones on instead of the original silver ones

I used the original Toyota lug nuts on mine.

New wheels looking sharp.

I picked up a set of 5 GX550 Overtrail wheels wrapped inToyo AT3 with no miles. A trip to the powder coat shop for Highland Bronze, and a set of center caps later.
