Hi All, New to this forum, picking up Prado GX auto next Monday. I'd appreciate members comments on changing rims, tyres as the tyres that come with the vehicle are pretty useless as 4WD tyres. I would like to change to the same tyre size as the GXL and fit BFGoodrich 265/65R17 LT tyres, which will involve buying new, wider rims to suit the wider tyres.
Can members advise me what might be the downside of doing this? The rims would have to be aftermarket alloys or steels (the latter being cheaper & more suited to bashing around off road) and I assume that they would need to have the same offset.
The little voice in the back of my head asks would these changes do anything to the effectiveness of Vehicle stability control, active traction control, downhill assist control, and hill-start assist control.
Regards, John Sneddon
