You're going to need some pretty low profile tires to fit the Titan wheels and keep them anywhere near the original overall diameter.

No "mods" to the wheels are required, but you might be modding the fenders somewhat.

Best bet? Get one and do some test-fitting.

Check the hub bore on your current hubs with a caliper - should be easy to look up the TItan wheel hub bore online.

Just get any wheel from American Racing or similar. The bore for big a** American cars is big enough for these. OR... use wheels that fit the Titan

The Titan, as far as the majority of what I have seen do not need it. The Titan uses large bores... X-terras do not, however.

I'm running the Titan rims. I did have to bore 1/2" out on them. used a router with a 1/2" bit in it. there are a few examples on YouTube. they have 225/45/18's on them and are just slightly larger in diameter. It's lowered 2" front and back with no rubbing, could easily go 3" maybe 4". Actually there is some rubbing on the front while turning. don't notice it in the cab, just saw the wear marks while working.
Yea! my first post. hopefully its helpful!
