Yea I'll probably get the black!

I'd totally do 18x9.5, but rubber is soooo much more expensive at an 18' rim, and rota doesn't make 18' titans!

sure they do.

I don't think 245/35/18 rubber is much more than the 17 equivalents. Maybe 100 bucks more in the set. Trust me, you'll want 18s if this is for daily/show.

Oh dang you're right!

I like the look of 18's much more than 17's, but wont I be forced to get coils to fit the 9.5 width? Not that it's a problem, I just don't want to drop a ton of money all at once for tires, wheels, and suspension.

Installed a Perrin CAI and Inlet tube I bought of a member here.

The Install wasn't too hard, but man removing the front bumper is a chore.

Depends on the company, but 18x9.5 +38 should clear stock struts. You're gonna want springs or coils as soon as you get wheels anyway though cause it's gonna look retarded at stock height.

Combined with a reverse lockout adapter used as a jam nut from blox. The knob is relieved for a reverse lockout but its a big relief so the blox adapter fills it nicely and gives you a jam nut.

Found several paint chips around my wheel well so out of necessity, i just bought some colormatched OEM mud/splash guards. I'd prefer it raw (no protection) but in this case I don't want the (road) rash. Still don't really know how I feel without seeing it in person...

The A clips on both of mine finally snapped at the metal yesterday when trying to put them back in.... Not sure if I'm going to clear markers or just zip tie them.

I thought about using plastidip on my chrome fins. Ended up going the expensive route and putting on the black fins from the Hyper.Blue. This turned out great though.

I didn't know you could get just that piece of the garnish. How much did it run you? If I decide to make it "permanent", I might just have to go that route.
