With a good set of high load rated A/T's you may be OK,if a set can be found in the correct size.

Its the tyres that are the weak point in these "off road" vehicles

Done Desert trips,etc,in my D4,no worries at all.

For the current batch of full-size LRs and RRS, 275/55R20 is only slightly over-size and is available in LT form in at least the BFG AT.

Compared to a set of 265/75/16 Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's ( which are a pretty much standard size) the BFG 275/55/20 AT's are pushbike tyres and there is No comparison whatsoever when it comes to an off road touring and towing set of boots and there is No way possible to fit a really decent set of off road touring tyres to a RRS.
This is what makes the Toyota offerings a far better platform as an off road touring machine, Sure the RRS goes like the clappers and is worlds away in the comfort and refinement stakes But when it comes to pulling a van or a big boat through the rough stuff the cruiser wins out simply because the tyre choices are pretty much endless.

The LC200 runs 18" minimum rims although 285/65 IIRC but the OP didn't state which LC.

Almost all models,OEM 17's will fit.

GX and GXL come with 17" rims.

My SIL/daughter has one and I understood that 18" was the minimum.

My 79 series has 16's fitted

But we are not comparing with 79 series - the OPs discussion is a 200 series. If we do that then we might as well compare your crapota tyres with a Defender tyres.
