Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is a popular Japanese SUV that is successful in the Russian market. Unlike domestic models of off-road vehicles, the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is slightly inferior in cross-country ability, but provides a greater level of comfort in the cabin.

Nevertheless, despite the purpose of the Land Cruiser, the vast majority of cars in the Russian Federation are used only in urban areas, where tuning and style of the car are put in first place. That is why choosing wheels for a Kruzak is a very sensitive moment for every owner.

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

Parameters and sizes of wheels for Toyota Land Cruiser 200

According to the manufacturer's regulations, wheels are installed on the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 following parameters: width from 8J to 8.5J, drilling PCD 5x150 and overall diameter from 17 to 20 with an overhang of 60 mm. At the same time, the recommended tire sizes are from 17 to 20 radius with a profile of 50-65. Also, all Toyota Land Cruiser 200 models intended for sale on the European market use mounting nuts measuring M14*1.5.

More detailed information is presented in the table below:

Vehicle year	Disc drilling	Disc offset	Standard size	Acceptable tire size
2007-2018	5*150	60	17x8.0	285/65 R17
2007-2018	5*150	60	18x8.0	285/60 R18
2007-2018	5*150	60	20x8.5	285/50 R20

• J “8” – Total width of disks in inch measurement system;
• R “17” – Disc diameter in inch measurement system;
• PCD “5” – Number of mounting holes on the disk;
• Double PCD “150” – The diameter of the circle on the area of ​​which the mounting holes are located. The value is given in millimeters;
• ET “60” – Disc offset in millimeters;
• d “57.1” – Diameter of the central hole.

Pay attention! The types and parameters of wheels, as well as the size of tires installed on the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 do not depend on technical equipment vehicle or line of powertrains.

The car platform allows you to install any recommended wheel size on the car without significant changes performance characteristics– the only thing you need to remember is that the disks larger size They increase the cross-country ability of the car, but complicate handling.

If desired, install wheels and tires non-standard sizes, it is recommended to use the selection of models by VIN number vehicle. To do this, you need to go to the official website of the disk manufacturer and check the compatibility of the desired model by entering the vehicle VIN code and the trade article number of the disk into the search database. Remember, installing wheels or tires of the wrong size seriously limits the operational capabilities of the vehicle, which can cause roll in corners, swaying of the suspension when driving high speed or complete loss of control.

What wheels can be installed on the Toyota Land Cruiser 200?

Regardless of the configuration, the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is installed from the factory only alloy wheels. However, the owner can change parts to another model based on aesthetic or practical reasons - all car wheels classified according to the type of materials used in manufacturing. For example:

• Stamped steel is the most budget-friendly type of disc. Stamped wheels have a greater safety margin and can be straightened out after hitting road potholes. Among the disadvantages of the steel option, it is necessary to note the unpretentious appearance and high weight, as a result of which the vehicle’s handling is slightly reduced and fuel consumption increases. Stamped wheels are practically not installed on the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 - an exceptional point is the operation of the vehicle off-road;
• Light alloy cast - usually installed on the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 at the manufacturing plant. Alloy wheels are made from aluminum or titanium and provide greater handling and fuel efficiency. The disadvantages of casting are directly proportional to stamping - light-alloy wheels simply crack under a serious impact, which makes them completely unrepairable;
• Forged - the manufacturing technology for forged wheels differs significantly from the production of the above models. The advantages of the forged version are high strength and lightness of construction, due to which the discs are moderately economical and do not deform when they fall into a hole. Among the minuses, it is worth noting the complete lack of energy absorption - all shocks when driving on uneven roads are completely transferred to the car’s suspension, shortening its service life.

In addition to the price category and aesthetics, rims must be selected depending on the type of vehicle suspension. On the Toyota Land Cruiser 200, the suspension system can consist of either a classic spring version or an air suspension. For example, installing forged wheels on spring suspension will allow you to transform the car's handling without sacrificing strength, while for air suspension it is worth installing only alloy wheels - the forged version will significantly shorten the safety margin of the suspension.

What wheels should you buy for a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 for off-road use?

The Japanese SUV has great potential, which it can fully realize only when going off-road, however, with the wrong choice of wheels and tires, the vehicle’s cross-country ability is sharply reduced. For maximum vehicle cross-country ability, you need to choose specialized tires with increased lugs, but with the choice of wheels everything is a little more complicated:

• When traveling to rocky terrain, it would be more rational to install stamped discs - the steel version is more resistant to damage and can be straightened if necessary. Casting will quickly become unusable, and stamped discs, if something happens, can be replaced with a new set - the cost of replacement will be several times cheaper than the option made of aluminum or titanium;
• Before driving in mud or swamps, it is necessary to install castings - lightweight aluminum or titanium wheels will provide greater maneuverability and controllability, but the steel version will make it difficult for the car to get out of the mud, creating additional slipping;
• Forged wheels Before going off-road, it is better to replace it - firstly, such a kit is too expensive, and secondly, it will quickly kill the suspension system, since it does not absorb shocks and vibrations. Forged wheels are recommended for use only when driving on public roads.

Pay attention! Before going off-road, it is imperative to remove the caps, if any.

The caps are designed to protect the side of the discs from damage, however, on off-road conditions, additional protection can become a barrier to the removal of dirt and cooling. brake system, as a result of which the hub may be damaged or the brake mechanism may fail.

The SUV has been manufactured since 2007; it became the successor to the “100th” series. Unlike previous generations, a model with a new interior, exterior, technical characteristics.

In the period from 2012 to 2015, the model underwent changes, two restyled versions were released. The innovations affected mostly the exterior. The technical specifications remain the same.

Dimensions of standard wheels for Toyota Land Cruiser 200

The influence of installing non-standard wheel sizes on the technical characteristics of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200

The size of tires and wheels installed on a car influence its technical specifications. The instruction manual indicates the recommended and acceptable dimensions.

For a driver who uses the car as a means of transportation, the factory rim sizes are more than enough. In case of tuning, changes standard characteristics, dynamic indicators, change the car's shoes in non-standard sizes wheels

List of characteristics that can be changed by installation non-standard sizes wheels:

• Controllability;
• Road grip;
• Sharp, responsive steering wheel;
• Hydroplaning;
• Comfort;
• Noise level;
• Combined cycle fuel consumption;
• Tread wear.

Alternative wheel options for the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 SUV

Decoding the disc markings on the Toyota Land Cruiser 200

For example, R18 5×150 6.5J ET60 (see photo):

• PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) diameter of the circle of the center of the mounting holes: 95 mm;
• Disc radius: 18;
• Number of holes 5;
• Fastening type: M15 – stud diameter;
• Thread size (pitch): 1.25;
• Center hole diameter: 73 mm;
• Pressure (front / rear): 2.3 / 2.35 bar.

PCD parameter: distance between the centers of opposite holes. Measure the value with a ruler without removing the wheel. For a five-bolt structure, the resulting distance must be multiplied by a factor of 1.05.

Rim offset (“ET”): The distance between the point where the rim meets the hub and the middle of the rim width. Designation: DEPORT, OFFSET. The offset is positive if the plane does not extend beyond the point of contact, otherwise the offset is negative. The further the rim is from the body, the more the offset tends to zero.

• D is the diameter of the central hole, measured in millimeters.
• J, H and subsequent alphabetical symbols indicate the markings of the humps on the rim flange. Symmetrical, asymmetrical and combined.
• "Hump" is a protrusion on the rim for tubeless tire. When moving, the “rails” hold the tire beads, preventing depressurization.

Numerical characters indicate the release date, month, year.

• TUV is an abbreviation of the regulatory authority for compliance with quality standards.

Maximum wheel load: the unit of measurement depends on the country of manufacture of the rubber and rim.

• Check wheel balancing using a special diagnostic stand in the workshop. If deviations are detected, restore the geometry of the structure. It is impossible to “reanimate” the disk on your own due to the lack of necessary equipment;
• If you find cracks or dents on the rim, contact a service station for preventive maintenance and rolling;
• On high, medium speed limits Avoid getting into holes and potholes. The disc is deformed, the seal is broken, the tire cord is damaged;
• Monitor the tire pressure; it should not differ from that recommended by the manufacturer. If there is a deviation, pump it up yourself, contact the service station;
• Observe the transition to summer and winter modes. In summer, the tire pressure is 0.15 atm higher, in winter it is lower by the same amount. The parameters are specified in the vehicle operating instructions;
• Tighten the rim nuts with a torque wrench. Excessive tightening contributes to breaking the studs, weak - unscrewing. Which will lead to a collision on the road with an oncoming traffic participant.

In sunny weather, cast aluminum wheels are less susceptible to external damage. But in slush, ice, when the road is strewn with chemicals, the rim is susceptible to corrosion. This provokes peeling of the paint, destruction of the molecular composition, and a decrease in the strength of the structure.

Wash your wheels as they get dirty. Since it’s unlikely that you can clean it properly with a rag, use compressors high pressure. Equipment of this class is available at many service stations, workshops, and service centers.

Systematic polishing removes scratches. First clean the wheel from dirt, dry it thoroughly, and then treat it with a chemical. Wipe with a cloth several times.

Store wheels in a hanging position, do not stack them on top of each other. Clean off any dirt, dry, and wrap in cellophane. Some motorists practice applying an aerosol to the surface before preservation.

Average service life original discs 150,000 km. Subject to a moderate driving style, the replacement interval will increase by a third. The service life of tires does not exceed 60 – 80 thousand km.

Buy now original parts, consumables. Carefully check the catalog numbers and markings with the data specified in the instruction manual.

Use the services of certified workshops, service centers, ONE HUNDRED. Remember that non-professional repair intervention does not guarantee performance technical means. Handicraft repairs and diagnostics contribute to the cancellation of the factory warranty and refusal of service at branded service stations.

Toyota Land Cruiser remains at the top best SUVs for many years. The size of tires on the Land Cruiser 200, their specifics and features are of interest to car owners and those who plan to link their destiny with the iron horse.

Factory wheel sizes

The wheel size of Toyota Land Cruiser 200 depends on the specific configuration. The 4.5 TD and 4.7i even come with 20-inch wheels; The 4.5 D only rides at a 17-inch radius. When purchasing a new TLC from official dealer the buyer will be asked to choose the diameter of the “rollers”. Standard disk parameters:

• R17: width 8.0, offset 60;
• R18: width 8.0, offset 60;
• R20: width 8.5, offset 60.

Comes with the car alloy wheels, and they are easily replaced with more expensive but durable forged ones.

Stamping on the LC is nonsense: cheap “caps” do not fit with an expensive car.

The influence of non-standard disk sizes on technical characteristics

It’s worth noting right away: installation outside standard disks prohibited by law. They have not passed the appropriate tests and potentially pose a danger to road users. Of particular interest to regulatory authorities are wheels that are too small (which is not a problem for the Kruzak due to its size) or exaggeratedly large wheels. Some TLK owners boast that they install not only 22-inch wheels on their iron horses, but even 35-inch ones.

The massive wheel is stable and impressive - it's true. The car's handling improves. But the chances of damaging a tire on a bad road increase, at least due to the fact that the tire area is now larger. The smoothness of movement is noticeably reduced, which is especially noticeable on potholes. For those who would like to drive “softer”, you can reduce the wheel diameter: instead of the factory 20-inch, put 17, if the manufacturer allows it.

When tuning, sometimes wider wheels are installed, which push the wheel out of the car's arch. This makes the car heavier, which increases fuel consumption. The suspension and body will suffer from the additional weight: the car is not designed to be loaded in places not intended for the transportation of goods. Also, widely spaced discs do not protect the suspension from possible damage.

Advantages and disadvantages of installing non-standard drives:

It is better to avoid using “homemade” wheels on the Land Cruiser 200: a spectacular SUV is not worth the danger posed by wheels of unknown origin.

Alternative disk options

Purchasing an original disc in an official store is an expensive pleasure. To save a little money, you can buy “skating rinks” from famous brands. The best manufacturers believe:

• LegeArtis (China);
• Kosei (Japan);
• Dotz (Germany);
• K&K (Russia);
• Alutec (Germany);
• OZ Racing (Italy);
• SKAD (Russia).

Those who do not want to pay for a big name choose replicas of top companies.

You can install any wheel on a car, the main thing is to take into account the bolt pattern.

Tires

The tire size on a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is determined by the diameter of the rims. The manufacturer offers the following tire options:

The restyling carried out did not affect the dimensions of the wheels, so the tire sizes of the Land Cruiser 200 did not change. This allows you to put tires from older generation cars on those that have just rolled off the assembly line.

Peculiarities

The selection of tires for a car depends on the preferences of the car owner. Some people like it hard, others like it soft. Rubber manufacturers offer tires for wheels of any size Toyota Land Cruiser 200.

The favorite tires of cruiser owners for both summer and winter are:

• Michelin;
• Yokohama;
• Bridgestone;
• Goodyear;
• Nokian.

Choice between winter thorns and Velcro (friction) depends on the needs of the car owner.

The tenacious studs hold tightly to the ice on the road, so they are intended for those who drive away from cleared roads. They wear out quickly on asphalt, so spikes are not best option for the city. Some people complain about the noise of such tires.

Friction tires provide traction with the road due to cavities in the rubber. Scandinavian type Velcro rides almost silently, but holds onto the road no worse than spikes. Scandinavians are focused on snow and ice, but they also perform well on a clean track.

Friction tires European-style tires are designed for warm winters with wet snow and slush; they are even closer to all-season tires, so they should be purchased for those regions where there is no frost or snowfall.

Tire customization

Those who do not risk experimenting with rims change the ride of the car due to the tires, installing wider tires than standard ones:

Customizing tires is fraught with trouble, so it is better to change the car in installed by the manufacturer within.

Pressure

Toyota recommends inflating tires to 2.4 atmospheres. This is due to the massiveness of the car - it is not easy to withstand the considerable mass of the Land Cruiser. But drivers complain that when the standard is met, the SUV rides too harshly. For smooth running and comfort, it is recommended to reduce the pressure to 2.2 atmospheres.

At car services they usually pump it up to the universal 2 atmospheres. To an inexperienced owner of a Kruzak, the difference is noticeable only in the soft ride. Flat tires wear out faster and reduce the car's handling. The cost of carelessness may be too high.

Bolt pattern

The wheels of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 are interchangeable, so the bolt pattern for disks of all diameters is the same:

• drilling (PCD) - 5 bolts with a diameter of 150 mm;
• diameter of the central hole (DIA) - 110.1 mm;
• nut 14x1.5.

Lexus LX, Toyota Land Cruiser Cygnus and Toyota Tundra have wheels with similar parameters.

If necessary, they will fit no worse than the factory options.

How to remove the spare tire

Spare wheel The Land Cruiser 200 is hidden in the bottom, and pulling it out is not as easy as it seems. Procedure for replacing a wheel:

1. Raise the bottom of the trunk.
2. Insert the jack handle into the winch hole.
3. To lower the wheel to the ground, turn the handle clockwise.
4. Remove the spare tire from the bracket.
5. Remove the fastening by rotating the winch counterclockwise.

The spare tire storage system is truly non-standard, so in order to avoid unpleasant surprises on the road, it is better to practice in advance.

Using automatic selection of tires and wheels for the car Toyota Land Cruiser 200, you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with automaker recommendations. After all, they have a huge influence on a significant part of operational properties vehicle, primarily on handling, fuel efficiency and dynamic qualities. In addition, tires and rims are modern car are one of the elements active safety. That is why the choice between them should be made as responsibly as possible, which presupposes the presence of a whole range of knowledge about these products.

Unfortunately, most car owners prefer not to go into such technical nuances. This situation makes automatic system selection is an extremely useful tool in preventing adoption wrong choice when buying tires and rims. And thanks to the widest range presented in the Mosavtoshina online store, it is very diverse.
