Lexus GX470 Wheel, Tire and Suspension Fitment Guide

Yes, really - if we were to ask you what the most likely candidate for an off-roader would be, we're betting that any Lexus SUV wouldn't be at the top of your list. But Lexus, and its GX470 SUV in particular, has quite a dedicated community in the off-road space, so much so that plenty of our friends and fans use this as an off-roader themselves.

The GX470 is based on Toyota's Land Cruiser Prato platform, only with the typical luxury bells and whistles you'd expect from the Lexus nameplate. So with that in mind, it takes this SUV into some pretty capable territory if we're being honest. Knowing this, a Lexus GX470 is a solid choice if you want a unique off-roader that can still rip through any terrain, although you might need to get some work done in order to achieve your desired fit. So let's take a look at what best fits the GX470 today!

Bolt Pattern & Recommended Fitment Range For The Lexus GX470

As with the rest of the Lexus GX lineup - released in the States from 2002-22 - the GX470 has a bolt pattern of 6x139.7mm, so when you're searching for the best wheels to fit it, start there. Many of the most common builds we see for this model are running 17x9 wheels as well - not only is this a typical size, but it also gives you plenty of freedom to add larger tires to your setup while keeping your combo in the wheel well.

33 and 35 inch tires are not uncommon either on the GX470, although at larger sizes you'll probably need to do some trimming and chopping in order to get everything fitting right. But as long as you know what you're signing up for, you can get some really cool setups to fit on your Lexus.
