    Do it! I'm glad I went with this size, there was minimal rubbing and was still able to preserve a comfy ride and good look that fills the wheel well.

    Sweet man. I'm hoping it'll fit with the factory trd pro suspension. I like your wheel choice too since it comes in +25 offset.. I wish method would make that an option for more of their wheels.

    How close are you to your UCA?

    Yea I searched so many wheels my eyes hurt. Most of the models I wanted were only 0 offset option which I don't like. Then the 313 was released, and it hit the sweet spot for me. I have plenty of room between the tires and the uca, nothing to worry about there.

    Here’s mine taken last weekend after mounting my new wheels! Door handles, mirror caps and platinum badge has been blacked out since this pic.

    Perfect, thank you!
    Might have some TRD factory BBS wheels for sale here soon.

    Wrapped up a little project yesterday. Finally mounted my tri-color emblem after machining and painting a backing plate that'd work with my older TRD Pro grille. I'm very happy with the results :thumbsup:

    Looks good, might have to copy that. Did you just make a plate the same size as one of the rectangles in the grill?
    I assume the corners of the badge are what is holding it in the front?

    The plate is a little bigger than the rectangular hole but smaller than the bars surrounding it. I zoomed in a pic for you to show what I'm talking about. It's totally hidden when installed which is what I was going for.

    Awesome, thanks! Got an emblem on the way and headed to Home Depot to find some flatbar stock to make the back plate.

    4-1/4 long by 1-1/4 wide by 1/8 thick. I didn't have any at work that size so I just sawed out a piece and milled it out.

    So, I put on new wheels and tires on my stock '21 CM:

    • KMC XD Grenade Wheel in Satin Black (+18 offset)
    • 275/70/18 Falken Wildpeaks (an inch taller, exact same width, as stock 275/65/18s)
    • NO RUBBING of any kind (EDIT: at full crank, it rubs up front a tad. I'm going to have to take the front mud flaps off and maybe shape the inner lining of wheel wheel a little. No biggee. I'll fix it. More to come.
    Here's my thinking:

    This truck is for vacationing and weekend trips and pulling the toys: consequently, I want to keep it closer to stock, so I can maintain more of the same performance characteristics as a stock set-up.

    I MIGHT get bushwhacker fender flares.

    Next on my list:

    • Ceramic window tint
    • Rear sway bar
    • Custom bed graphics
    Shout out to @15whtrd for educating me on a few things and even reminding me of some stuff I know!

    Just saw this thread again and thought I’d close the chapter on my silver sky. Was a great truck and I’ll miss it. But have moved on to the dark side. Black! Muahaha.

    On Saturday Had my Eibach PRO-TRUCK COILOVER STAGE 2 (Front Coilovers + Rear Shocks ) and lift shackles installed. So today on the way home from work, rubber necks stop on I95 to look at a cop doing nothing and well you can see...
    The Ebach Pro Kit is great.

    Man, that’s terrible and so infuriating! I’ve heard some guys leave the hitch installed with a locking pin for people just like that!

    Yes, I have thought about that but, I really like NOT having a dent in my shin.

    The lady that hit me was driving the new Bronco and it was not even two weeks old. She was up set, plus It was a hard hit. I don't know who got the worst of it. STUPID Rubber Necks go from 70+mph down to 10mph.

    Really like the Eibach Pro Kit

    Man, @Orracle I know the OP was asking about Silver Sky’s, but if you have the XSP-X build thread on this forum somewhere, I’d love to go through it with a fine tooth comb. The sizing of the wheels with those fender flares is 100% dialed in! Was comparing some Fuels in a similar pattern against a set of Cali Offroad Switchbacks dreaming about which would look better on my ‘20 SSM.

    Dang, that sucks! Is your bed bent in that third pic or is it just an optical illusion?
    May be time for an aftermarket steel bumper...
