Default Lowered 4x4 RCSB with Titan 18's

I am having the Asanti's rehooped so running the Titan 18's for now. It rides so much smoother with more sidewall on the 18's.

Looking great man, had my eye on the Titan 18s for a few weeks now for that very reason, big rims look good but ride like crap.

Does the extra meat on the tires help with traction at all compared to the bigger rims?

I have the nitto 305/45/18s on my Titans and can get 1.7s easily so I think they are a great mix of traction and looks.

Never knew the Titan rims fit our trucks. Have another one to add to my search for used rims in my area.


They look good on your truck. Wonder what they would look like if they were powder coated black.

Thanks for the link. Are there center caps missing in these pictures or is that just how they come?

There is a nissan logo on the caps so i'm assuming the guy in that pic pulled them off, from my searching, the center caps from the oem 22" escalade fit as well as a few other chevy center caps

How do the fitment on those tires with those wheels i plan on running the same setup and figured the tire was too big for the rim?

Yes, Not sure if it because the Toyo's are better than the Sumitomo or the result of more sidewall.

I have the centercaps, they say Nissan on them. I was going to get vinyl overlays and place them over the center cap.
