First Toyota Truck from SoCal

Welcome from Ohio!

 

Finally got to add some serious mods. Started with a new grille with painted hood bulge. Then added some American Racing (AR901) rims with Nitto Terra Grappler 2 LT265/50/r18 tires. Had to grind the calipers in the front a little bit (wasn’t too thrilled about that at first, but wasn’t much). Was worried the ride may change, but I really like the new ride. I feel much more in control than the stock tires. Anyone want to buy some stock rims/tires and chrome grille..lol.

 

Looks very nice!

I had never heard of 18s rubbing but then I went on tire rack and those particular wheels you got are recommended in 20 only. Probably because of caliper rubbing issue. I am glad you got it sorted it out. This will be of good help for my wheel search.

Again, your truck looks perfect! Congrats!

 

Thanks. The wheel search was a pain in the ass. We actually contacted American Racing and they said they would fit no problem. The calipers were not cast perfectly so most of what was grinned was slop. Hopefully that wasn’t a mistake..lol. But so far no problems and it runs very smooth.
