Why this setup matters
The Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series is often used for towing, touring, work and off-road driving, so wheel, tyre and suspension choices need to be treated as a complete system. A 285/70R17 BFGoodrich KM3 tyre gives the vehicle a stronger off-road footprint, while the Tough Dog 2 inch lift kit helps create room for the package and changes the way the vehicle sits.
ROH Assault Machined Face wheels suit the 79 Series because the design matches the vehicle's heavy-duty 4x4 character. Before any 4x4 wheel and tyre package is signed off, the fitment should be checked for brake clearance, hub fitment, wheel nut seating, guard clearance, suspension clearance, spare-wheel compatibility and steering movement.
Four-wheel alignment after the upgrade
Four-wheel alignment is important after fitting larger 4x4 tyres or a suspension lift. On a Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series, alignment helps the vehicle track correctly, reduces avoidable tyre wear and supports better steering feel after the Tough Dog lift, ROH wheels and BFGoodrich KM3 tyres are fitted.
