    TRD Wheels

    I have the same wheels, but with 35x10.50r17 Kenda Klevers. I had to do a CMC and smash my pinch weld. That offset really helped to minimize rubbing. Had I gone with something with more offset, I would have had to do a fair amount of trimming and make the CMC farther back towards the body...

    Sound of Rushing Air or Spraying Water when Turning Left

    Turns out the condensate drain was clogged. Thanks, @Asmara. I blew some air up the drain tube and water started to pour out like a faucet. Apparently, when turning left, the water sloshes up the right side of whatever is containing it and hits the fan for the A/C, which causes it to sound...
