Anyone have these wheels? Looking to put them on my 08 SE King Cab Smoke color. Any opinions would be great. Suggestions on tires and wheels also welcome.

Member Pops has those on his Armada. He is in your neck of the woods. You should look him up.

25 offset is stock. I would think the 0 offset would probably stick out way to far.

ya i agree......also given the wheel is wider 9 inch versus 8 inch like stock.....

From the online calculators I see this:

The added width alone adds the noted extra 13mm outward...

I'm just hope'n someone can show us some side shots to show how much past the fender they stick out....

my titan has the 2.5 inch spacer lift with AAL's, but i think i may prefer the +25mm offset over the 0 still, as i dont want to be all dune buggy like....

Also, ive been thinking of getting them and removing the MB motoring center piece and putting in a nissan one....nismo one attached for reference, but they sell many different kinds - adhesive backing...etc...

update, the chaos centercaps and the tko caps use 3 inch decals, so thats more like 75/76mm or so....
so search accordingly...pic for reference.

I'm planning on looking at them this week sometime.....i found a discount tire in my city that says they have them on display and that they have one 18x9, +25 wheel in stock that he can pull out of the box and show me as well....

I first saw them on this rig....

They look good with out the center cap section as well..

I saw that frontier down culebra the other day, it look bad ***, if I had the need for the set up, I bet a Titan would look good too...

Just got mine on this morning. Started with 275 55 20 but didnt feel well enough so i had tem remove and go with a bigger cooper tire. Much better look. Now to convert the chrome to black would be a nice touch. Also noticed when i got to work they scuffed a wheel pretty good on install so ill be back there this evening ao they can reorder one.

Yeah i drove back and told the guy hes going to have to order me another one. I want to be the person who scratches them not the installer. He ordered it though. Really cool guys at DT

I got my MB TKO wheels and ordered the Chaos caps at the same time -

Discounttire.com was able to add the 4 other chaos caps for half price. He told me they were 13.50 each, so I ended up getting all four CHAOS caps for $27 bucks more. I didn't know at the time of ordering, but they had a $50 dollar off special going on for buying 4 wheels so my total came to $588.88 shipped to my door with the 4 CHAOS caps. So not to bad.....:eyebrow:

Also, i found that the caps are 3 inch diameter ~ 76mm. So after looking online there arent that many options out there in that size, but i did find a Nissan Ebay sale for 70mm units. so im gonna get those, center them up and see how it looks.

3 inch CAPS:

Other options are to Google "custom center cap decals" and go to the many online sources for this niche market:
Examples:
1. Product search ? Nissan ? Online shop 3D wheel center caps
2. Blank Wheel Center Cap Decals SUP106: Edecals.com Vinyl Lettering Graphics & Decals
3. Custom Center Cap Decals for your Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Acura, Honda, BMW, Mercedes Benz
EBAY 70mm caps:

UPDATE: 4-20-13 - I measured using digital calipers and the MB decal in the chaos cap is 78mm wide, so im gonna order from item1 up above - the 3D Nissan logo in 77mm just to make sure and ill update later again with pics.

Very nice and clean Titan! love the wheels..really sets it off!

Very nice! I plan on painting my calipers as well, but i think im gonna go with a cleaner better silver - since my truck is silver...the oem silver color is bland....

I was actually gonna comment on the rotors themselves....

On my other Nissan's, oem AND aftermarket rotors I went out and purchased duplicolors wheel paint from Autozone. They sell it in a silver color called - GRAPHITE that looks good when painting rotor hats, etc...I hate how nearly all rotors out there have bare hats that rust and look horrible...nissan oem rotors do this on all models:

First i would go to autozone, etc and pick up this stuff:
Klean-Strip WRC22 Rust Converter
Image


It cleans/treats rusted areas.........turns it into a paintable primer........nice stuff......works well..

This is what the dupli-color wheel paint can looks like:

These are pics of my rotors on my 350z done with the process i noted above:

Center cap decals came in....

Hi,

So, the center cap decals came in...i ended up ordering from 3D car stickers site i listed prior in post 24:
Product search ? Nissan ? Online shop 3D wheel center caps
I ordered 77mm and they stayed just fine, 79mm would probably been on the money, but its not noticeable at all...

IMO it looks much better than the craptastic fake carbon fiber look and the red lettering decals the MB's had oem...



They came shipped wrapped in a few pages in a thick envelope..im glad they didnt get damaged in shipment...they are about 3 mm thick..they are not just paper thin decals, they have a concave contour to them:
