very very clean. Do those wheels rub the inside of the bed when its layed out? looks close as hell.

thanks stan...the pic makes it look nicer then the real time...hahaha

Justin funny you should ask... so i got these wheels from my buddy, there his..we are gonna use them for mock up on his datsun 521 frame when we bag it... well i got a wild hair up my ass and was planning on using the wheels for mock up on my b for inner fenders to clear my 18" infinti wheels. so i bolted up my buddies titans and ran them well as you ask, i noticed with the colonel's help, that the lip rubs the face profusely...on one side i wore all the stock ppowdercoating off....oops need less to say since i own a powdercoating shop i have convinced my buddy to do the wheels in a bronze color for his datsun and i will give myself a crazy good deal...i am talking with my friend about milling the mounting surface of the inner hub on the wheel about 1/4 to 3/8 on my infiniti wheels so I can run 2 wd sheet metal...(not a huge fan of 4wd stuff..) Funnier even is that my buddy with the titans has been begging me to swap titans for the infinitis but i looked for those wheels for ever... and i can find titans pretty easy...so i almost ended up withthem by default... I liek them but i like something you rarely see the infiiniti wheels... i will post some pics of my infinitis when i get a second and w e can run a poll... i mounted them upo thinking the offset would be better but i only gained a 1/16 of clearance... took them back off since i dont wanna re cherome my wheels

little update on the machine...hids installed.....ork awesome...fule pressure reg installed (mr. gasket one) DO NOT USE ...on second one first one melted diaphram and turned into a sprinkler under hood....aparently they pulled them from burning down cars ... after having one i understand ...stiill running the second mr gasket one till find replacement...one thing i noticed is i cant get more than 3psi or pressure...was told stock mazdas put out about 5 psi but mine wont notmatter how high i turn it up...machined nearly 1/8 off brake drums and axle to try and fit titans and infintis under stock sheet metal..(non 4x4) close could run them but would like a little more clearance before i sacrifice a chrrome wheel...titans are to be machined on hub face to about 1/4 to hopefully fit under stock sheetmetal...had to convince a buddy that he can do it in order to get it done, then took him 4 titans and 4 qx 56 for the rear of several trucks....we are doing the titans first to make sure its viable...and worth the clearance....i really like the way boththe titans and the qx 56 look on the truck...still need to reengineer fourlink when this is done...getting windows tinted...crate motor still in crate and ready for install...thinking my tranny is droning pretty loud these days...wishing i woulda bought a s 2000 motor tranny combo instead of all the money i spent on several junk yard motors and this crate motor...wrecked my roll pan again backing into a curb....bagged datsun project is on hold right now......new bed for mazda on hold and in storage...

one piece of advice dont leave you pit stick on thedash on a hot day ...deodarant melted and ate the stock paint off the dash like stripper..hmmmm makes my under arms nervous knowing what it does to vynil paint...

So couple questions for peeps out there

1. any one running 18 escalade wheels have any clearance issues on stock sheetmetal

2. same thing for redrilled navis?

3. what are people seeing for fuel psi on stock pumps ...is the 5 psi thing true my pump is a new cheapo from parts store but only reaching 3 psi at guage and the guage is a mr. gasket too so maybe its there cheapo ass

4. what fuel pressure reg are people running thats not the sprinkler mr gasket one
