WTB: Which Rims should I look at for Brake Upgrade

CyberCop · 11-05-2009, 02:49 PM

I have a '04 Titan 4x4 Off-Road that is driving me nutz on brakes.

I am going to put the Stillen Big Brake Kit or the 2008 OEM stock brakes on the front and am finding out that I can't do this with my stock OEM 17" Rims.

I looked at Ebay for used rims, and found alot that will only increase my brake upgrade about $300 or $400. If I can pick up a good used set, and then sell my current OEM Rims for about $250, I will be completely satisfied!

So, here are the questions:
Do any of the later year 18" Rims fit the '04 titan?
Will the big brake kit fit in any 18" Rims, or only certain ones?
Do all of the Titan OEM Rims have the air pressure sensors?
Any recommendation as to which other rims I should look into?

Thanks for the help!

Can anyone recommend a Titan website that could answer this question?

Thanks,

If you want to keep your 17's, you could just do an 05.5-07 swap... mine's 06 with 17's, really never had any brake issues, so I never went out of the way to get the Big Brake upgrades... and I like to think I drive aggressively... in fact, I just replaced the front rotors and pads a month ago... the OEM rotors were ok, just good heat warp as expected, but the brakes had vertical heat fractures throughout the pads... I swapped the OEM rotors with Powerslots and went with premium ceramic pads... next month, I'm switching out the rears...
