they would fit. one of the managers at TRD has a dropped sequoia w/ the 20 inch xenex SUV's. i've seen it on the street and it looks tight! someone on this website had a picture of it, but i forgot who.

good deal!! PM red (Chris), i believe he was the one that had the picture of it. Axis also sent me a picture of the Xenex on their project montero last year. i have it at home and will email to you. btw, the brand used to be under Lenso, so if you can't find them try that out.

These are my new choice of rims (Thanks to Simias) http://www.axiswheels.com/xenex.html AXIS SUV 20x8.5 - Chrome $625/rim. Not sure which tire. Going to the shop tonight to do some looking. Hopefully a month out, I should be rolling on some 20's
btw, is it $625 w/ tires? look around because chromed Xenex SUVs should run around $500 w/out tires. i found this on Super Buy Tires. so you should talk to your local guy and ask if he can match. if not, no big deal because you'll have a local guy you can work w/ if anything happens. i chose the local guy over price. just tell him about super buy tires price, just in case you can lower it.
btw, 265/50s or 295/45s would be a good tire for your rims. i highly recommend yoko AVS S/Ts though because i've had mine for like 18k miles now and i'm only showing a little bit of wear on the tires. plus, the tread pattern and sidewall look tight! pirelli scorpions are a good tire too!

Thanks guys. $625 rims only. I will see what kind of negotiating I can do tonight. What should I expect to pay for either tire (Yoko or Pirelli)? Can't wait to tell the wife when she get's back from Vegas...Oh honey, guess what?
btw, www.tirerack.com is usually a good place to get pricing. they are usually the lowest and most mom and pop shops can't beat their prices because they do so much volume, but it's a good tool to use when shopping.

Simias, thanks for recommeding carNutz. I went to two different places tonight. Coincidently, they both recommended Goodyear tires. 285/50x20. $175/ea. CarNutz had the lower of the two prices $3300.00 out the door. They say cash doesn't talk as much as before because most people are paying cash now anyway. Not much of a bargaining tool. I'm thinking 30 days out and I should be ready to order. Takes about 4 days. I'll keep ya posted. Thank you for all of your help.
My White Sequoia SR5 has finally arrived. I drove it straight from the dealer to the tire shop to have 18x18.5" chrome Pacer 224s with Michelin Pilot LTX's installed. The backspacing on these wheels is 5.25" vs. the stock 4.5", with the offset at 14mm (same as stock). With the fatter 285 rubber on them, they have *just* enough room to clear the upper portion of the Front Suspension. They tuck under the fenders perfectly. Here's a link to a picture I put up on Yahoo (If I can figure out how to successfully post a link.....) http://photos.yahoo.com/all_good_logins_are_taken"
Has anyone checked-out Discount Tires (Tires.com) ? They're now offering FREE ground shipping on everything...I was looking at the Enkei RT618's on Yokohama tyres...any thoughts/feedback about the rims. Thanks a lot.
