After an extensive wheel research on this forum I finally decided to buy a 5 wheel set of the X's. I definitely have to give thanks to Mr. Dustin from FN Wheels for making the deal work trough. Regarding the tires, got a deal from a local shop for the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's at $175 mounted and balanced (not the E rated). I really wanted the terra grapplers from Nitto but were way more expensive if you calculated the freight to Puerto Rico and then finding a decent shop to mount them. With the money saved I'm already planning in buying a set of OPOR sliders.

Thanks to the members of T4R.org for sharing their knowledge and making it easier for guys like me to mod their Runners. A special shout out to OKKI, even though I didn't buy the TRD rims. Thanks Buddy!!!!!!!

So hopefully USPS will deliver my wheels tomorrow. I'm wrapping them up with Pirelli Scorpion ATR's in 265/70/17. Can anyone tell me if there is any alignment specification needed for them to function properly???
 
Finally here!!!

Yesterday I received the wheels, they look awesome!!! Tomorrow I will mount them with the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's, more pics ASAP!!!!:reddance:

Installed!!!

This morning the wheels and tires where installed. IMHO they look awesome and give the rig a totally different look. Although I've just driven like 6 miles with the new set up and haven't aligned it yet, it feels way better than the stock wheels and tires. The steering wheel feels a lot stiffer, in a good way, and eliminated the soft feel it had. Tomorrow i'm going to the alignment shop, so if anyone could tell me if I need to tell them any special indications I will greatly appreciate it!!!

Ohh, I almost forgot, the running boards definitely have to go, luckily the OPORS sliders are on their way!!!:rockon:

Hi Justin, I was thinking of plasti-dipping the chrome in black, but your idea is unique, does it come in that color???
 
Alignment

Well today I went to do the alignment to the rig but it seems a bit off :doh:. If I leave the steering wheel straight it turns to the right. Does anybody have the alignment numbers that I need to take them to the shop so they can do the adjustment??? thanks in advance!!!

if you have to provide alignment specs to a shop I suggest you go to another shop!
