'05 Pilot with 18" black MSR rims - Honda Pilot

tommy_gunn · 08-30-2010, 01:06 PM

Bought my Pilot last year with only 24k miles, but with some fugly 20" chrome rims. Tires finally to the point of needing replacement so I went rim+tire shopping last weekend.

Scored a ridiculous deal on this setup, shop even gave me trade-in credit for the chromes.

MSR 045 18x8.0 inch wheel
Falken Ziex S/TZ-01, 265/60R-18 110H B

Black McGard lugs and wheel locks and valve stems on the way too. Just removed the chrome Pilot logo from the rear hatch as well.

Probably go with a limo tint in the rear 3 or 5 windows soon.

Don't go too dark in the back or you won't be able to see **** backing up at night. I have 13% over the factory tint and I wouldn't go any darker than that. The front windows I had them match using 13% over 22%. Yes - 2 layers of tint on the front windows. Matches perfectly but at night I need to open the door/window when backing up.

I have limo tint on all windows except the fronts and I can see ok,as for the rims did they put tpms sensors on them?I also want to get black wheels on my black pilot,but want to keep the tpms hooked up.

Yup, I made sure that was included in the installation. Most places will add $50-80 for this service since they have to take it out of the old ones, and rebuild in the new. It is so common now on vehicles the shop didn't even blink when I mentioned it.

Good deal,Im in the market but not sure to go with 20's or 18's but after looking at yours ima go with the 18's.Limo tint your rear windows and put some crome tips on the exhaust and youll be looking A1,looking sharp brother.

I just had 3% tint put on the driver and passenger windows, and all windows behind them, plus a visor with 3% tint, and I wouldn't want to go any lighter. I have an '04 LX so it didn't come with privacy glass. As long as you live where there are a fair amount of street lights you should be fine.

sorry dude meant to reply to your message.. most of the questions you asked are in this thread

it initially rubbed in the front, when the front tires would turn hard to the left or right, it would rub just slightly on the front side. nothing major, no harm, and a year later now it does not rub anymore.

i would not buy bigger rims or tires though, unless you were getting lifters or spacers

CountryBoy1995 · 02-22-2012, 07:12 PM

Well I want as big of tires as I can get without rubbing? can you help?
