factory 18's

blackjack 7 · 01-01-2007, 09:55 PM

i think the black wheels look good on any titan and my plan is to powder coat my factory 18's but i was looking for some advise on tire size. i plan to also drop my trop 2/3 (at the most) but for now it will stay stock height. anyway, i want to replace the stock tires but i want a more performance street tire. any suggestions on size?
thanks!

Personal Opinoin...your truck will not look right with 18" wheels and low profile tires once lowered or stock height. The wheel wells are too big. Think about 22" or at the least 20". Or, come back to your senses and lift the truck...

i know it wouldn't look right with low pro tires but something in between that and stock.

lift it?? and do what with it, put it in the mud or just have a nice looking (wanna be 4x4) truck that will be high enough so i don't have to worry about getting stuck in a pot hole.

sorry, but they didn't give me my titan, i had to buy it. so, to those who lift them, they look great and that is your choice. to those who drop, level or lower, they look great and that is your choice. personnaly, my titan is for the pavement and a jacked up truck doesn't work for me.

Hey man, no hard feelings...I was just bustin your balls. Humor doesn't always come out right when typed.

I'm sure you've noticed that tire selection is extremely limited for 18" wheels. I'm not sure that anyone else has tried to do this.

very true trying to get any rubber on the stock 18" rims - everybody is either going down to 17" ( offroad ) or bigger - there's a ton of 20-22" sizes out in the market..

I wonder if I could slam my 4x4 ???

Braceyoself777 has a sweet ride on this forum - there are quite a few others that love the slammed look..
