EDIT: OK pictures are up.

Rims are VCT Santino 20"x9" , 265/45/20 Hankook Ventus RH07 tires.

Old rims vs new rims comparison (note both without centercaps)

Image

new rims may look alot bigger, but overall rim plus tire diameter is only 5 millimeters or so bigger than big snow tires.

NOTE: to get better quality, click on the picture, then on the left hand side is another zoom button, which then makes it really clear and good view.


New pictures are up from camera, car is detailed and all.

Extremely happy with the rims, and i think they go very well with the pathfinder styling, handling is awesome too, no more tire roll like on my snow and ice pirellis, traction is awesome so far.

Well rate/comment/question :biggrin:

Imo, tint your tails and get painted heads and signals. Oh an chop off your resonator, its not super loud but you can more so hear the vq without the resi.

by next year i should have a full custom exhaust, i know a guy who has a shop and will fab me up custom headers and i will make it dual or quad out. if i go with quad, not the fake quad where you put on the double tip, id do the double out from each muffler. and i might clear corner my headlights soon. Also next year or maybe even this year im getting my hood, front bumper, repainted, and then color matching the side mirrors and door handles like a qx4. should make it look alot cleaner.

Looks really good. Clean looking and the rims tire combo really goes dood with the trucks color. 10/10 no need for much more to do with the truck.

Im being very serious, no rice intended I think it will look good. Lots of lifted trucks have blacked out heads and tails. I esp love em on Tacoma's. And the resonator delete gives the truck a little bit of life so you can kinda hear it when you're driving but its nothing obnoxious.

I'll be honest, I miss the stock exhaust. I have zero low-end torque and the drone gets annoying at times.

Oh boy. Tacoma "bro's" are the ricers of the truck world!! Lifted on either rockstar wheels or moto metal, whatever. Only found in paved parking lots. All those trucks look the same to me.

And removing the resonator - why??? Is it to make long drives painful, or is it to make everybody look at you when you're driving by?? Because it sure as hell isn't going to make you any faster....

Don't get me wrong - i used to do ricer stuff like that when i was 16.... like pwnin said, you will get over the no resonator thing really quickly.... wait til you pick up a girl and she asks you if your car is broken... these aren't sports cars dude!!

Its not like its loud, like the only time you actually hear anything is in the garage on a cold start, or in enlosed area's. I'll upload a video to youtube right quick. Plus I got hung up on the resonator more than once and it was already bent, it looks alot cleaner to me.

never understood why pathfinders attract the the crowd that wants to put 22's on and lower them. We need more lifted nissans in this world! Just compare a Cardomain search of pathfinders to 4runners. Don't get it!
