Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series Tyre Size Guide Australia
Quick answer
Australian LandCruiser 200 Series vehicles were sold from 2007 to 2021, and the correct tyre size depends on build year, grade and wheel package. Two important starting references are 285/65R17 and 285/60R18, but the vehicle tyre placard remains the final authority for the complete size, load index and speed rating.
Australian factory tyre-size references
| Reference | Tyre and wheel information | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| GX / selected 17-inch vehicles | 285/65R17 is a common Australian LC200 reference | Confirm the exact build year, grade and placard before ordering |
| Selected GXL, VX, Sahara and special-edition 18-inch vehicles | 285/60R18 | Toyota Australia historical material confirms 18-inch VX/Sahara wheels with 285/60R18 on specific Altitude editions; do not apply it to every LC200 automatically |
Toyota Australia now lists the LandCruiser 200 as a discontinued model. Historical Australian vehicles include GX, GXL, VX, Sahara and special editions, with petrol/diesel and equipment changes across the model run. Check the build/compliance date, grade, placard, current tyre sidewall and wheel markings.

Verified modified LC200 fitment
| Modified size | Documented setup | Required checks |
|---|---|---|
| 285/65R18 125/122R | BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 with Volk Racing TE37 wheels, fitted and aligned in an Autosport Tyre World workshop case | Wheel width and offset, wheel load rating, brake clearance, suspension height, guard clearance, rolling diameter, spare-wheel match and South Australian legality |
285/65R18 is a modified example, not a factory specification for every LC200. It has a larger overall diameter than 285/60R18, so it must not be selected from the tyre size alone. Confirm the exact wheel specification and vehicle setup before fitting.
Tyre recommendations by use
| Use | Pattern and size example | Why consider it |
|---|---|---|
| Balanced all-terrain touring | Continental CrossContact A/T2 285/60R18 118/115S | Concrete option for an LC200 whose placard, rim and required ratings match 285/60R18 |
| Highway and light-trail touring | Yokohama GEOLANDAR A/T G015 285/60R18 116H | Road-oriented all-terrain option where this complete rating meets the vehicle requirements |
| Heavier all-terrain use | BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 285/60R18 118/115S | All-terrain option for touring and unsealed-road use after load, speed and construction checks |
| LT touring / tougher use | Falken Wildpeak A/T4W LT285/60R18 118/115S | LT construction option when the additional strength and its ride/weight trade-offs suit the vehicle |
| Documented larger modified setup | BFGoodrich KO2 285/65R18 125/122R | Use only as a complete modified wheel-and-tyre fitment after clearance and legal checks |
These are fitment candidates, not a claim of current stock or a universal recommendation. Confirm the placard size, required load and speed rating, tyre construction and intended use before purchase.

It is an Australian factory reference on specific 18-inch LC200 variants and special editions. Confirm the individual vehicle placard because the range changed by grade and year.
Is 285/65R18 a factory size?
It is presented here only as a documented modified fitment. It requires wheel, clearance, load, spare, alignment and legal checks.
Can every LC200 use 17-inch wheels?
No. Brake-package clearance and the exact wheel design must be checked, particularly across different grades and model years.
