Sooo... this happened. 24" wheel. Be nice!

Honest first impression.........WOW! The wheels take your eyes to the LX styling and the LX styling takes you right back to the wheels. That rig is impressive.

Those wheels look great, look like a massive pain to clean but I like them. Now adjust the rear AHC sensors to level the back down. I assume you're in low in this pic?

Yes, Truck is set to low. I adjusted rear passenger side sensor after this picture. All sensors are all the way to lowest setting now. I still have a question in another thread about the height sensors though.

 

[Swampmonger]

Not my thing. Like...at all. But, hey, your truck your rules. Amirite?

Now you can fit some very large brakes... the giant Brembo SUV caliper even comes in a nice impossible to keep clean white that would really look nice in there.

What's the min size wheel to fit these Brembos?

 

[bjowett]

At least 20", maybe more?

 

[Mogwai]

At least 20", maybe more?

Thanks. Wishful thinking I could slide into a 19" wheel and fit them. Though maybe there are other kits out there that are just an inch shy of fitting the stock 18s? I know you're working on some stuff, keep us posted.

I was thinking the same thing....I love the wheel pattern, but as I age I admit that the ease of cleaning the wheels is starting to play a larger role in my wheel choice! With a slight OCD (self diagnosed) tendency- it saves quite a bit if time!
I do like the look on this rig. You gotta go High or Low when it comes to modifying!

What do you have currently available for big brakes. I think we are Neighbors BTW...

Definitely supercharger time to overcome that rotational mass! We once had 22s on our Cayenne (wheel gap looks amplified by bad contrast and black car, but yeah stock height it was pretty tall...) and I was surprised that I didn't mind their road manners. Low profile rubber makes trucks this big feel pretty sporty, so now you need the horsepower to match!

 

[bjowett]

The 360 x 36mm will work with the TRD RW 17", some aftermarket 17", and most 18". I'll have it available sometime this summer. Yes, you are not far away.

 

[baconmotorsport]

Is it safe to say you have figured out the math for brake master cylinder surface area relative to caliper piston area etc. I just don't have the time for the brain drain. It will be nice if you have it all figured out!

I would do a supercharger if some had a plug and play solution for the tuning. It's my wife's daily for her and the kids. The car can't be down at all

I like it. It's the opposite end of the spectrum a lot of us on this particular site go for but I still dig it. I give anyone props for taking the road less traveled.

 

[bjowett]

The stock 51mm x 4 piston size per caliper is retained.

So no real increase in swept area? Just larger diameter for increased leverage?

 

[SQRRRL]

LOOKS BITCHEN BRAH!

There is an increase in swept area.

I know you guys are not really into these wheels but they are for sale!! !

Bill - good to see you in here man. It’s Christian. Been a long time since I was banging around in rally cars. Truck looks good.
