My RS 6.0 # 344 w/Pics
It will all depend on the width and offset of the wheels, as well as the size of the tires. If you stick with 18x7.5 or 18x8 with an offset between +40 and +48 with 225/40-18 tires you'll be fine. These are just very general conservative specs. If you find some wheels that you really like, send me a PM with the info & I'll help you with the fitment.

My TRD CAI was supposed to come today, but TRD Sparks sent me a Tundra intake instead. I want to like these guys but so far I'm 2 for 3 on order screw-ups. 
Anxious for a project, I decided to do some LED swapping. I really want to change the amber gauges to blue, so I figured I would test my soldering skills on the steering wheel MODE button. That way if I f'ed up, I wouldn't be super bummed to loose that LED.

Changed the HVAC LEDs too.


As you can see, I manged to do it successfully. It wasn't the cleanest job, but whatever, who's gonna see the lady parts of my car anyway.
I'll be attempting the gauge cluster tomorrow. If I don't post a pic, assume the worst.

Their price was $275.40. I also got the TRD front strut brace ($159.00), the TRD fog lights ($165.44) and the TRD aluminum oil filler cap ($33.15). Shipping for everything was a very reasonable $14.87. I got everything but the fog lights installed tonight. I hope to tackle those tomorrow or Friday.
Since I had the front end up on jack stands, I also finally installed my Scion brake caliper decals (front and rear) - best $6.50 mod ever.
I'll try to post some updated photos this weekend.

I haven't installed the fog lights, yet. I'll let you know how it goes. I didn't finish installing the other stuff until almost 11:00pm tonight. I printed out the fog light installation instructions and it looked like more than I wanted to tackle that late at night. So, I'll do it tomorrow or Friday. There are cheaper lookalike fog lights on eBay, but I've read of problems with the lenses cracking. So, I decided to go with the genuine TRD fog lights. At $164, they were $91 less than my local Toyota dealer charges. Not cheap, but the lowest price I've found for the genuine TRD fog lights.

Swapped the gauge LEDs to blue, now I just need a new gauge face to get rid of the amber/blue mix. They seem a little dull in the daylight, I might end up trying white unless anyone knows a brighter blue LED to get.
