Added wireless CarPlay, via CPLAY2air. Very simple and easy. Works great, haven’t had any connection, lagging, or other issues. Also just did some simple Velcro to keep it in place. Simply drop my phone on the wireless charger and go!

Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

@Kellen: so do you still have the extra set of unloved, unused OEM Kia All Weather Mats that you'd love to send to me for the cost of shipping or perhaps a modest amount of some of this wonderful cash money we all love?
Unfortunately for you, I threw them on ebay and sold em!

The new wheels look awesome! Great thread by the way. This thing reads like a true VW build thread over on the Vortex 
I have a Wolf Gray on order that should arrive in about a month. I was able to make 1 kid with the APR GTI work, but 2 kids was too many so off to the Telluride I go. I also assumed I'd end up in an Atlas.

Haha you caught me! Vortex raised me lol
Finally got a winter setup for this year. Tires: 245/70/17 Falken WildPeak AT3W’s
Wheels: Balck Rhino Rumble 17x8 et35
We are taking it up to the mountains this weekend. Excited to see how these do.
______________________________
I like the setup. How is the clearance around the brakes? I assume pretty close. Also, why did you choose to go with 245 70 instead of 255 65 which would only be slightly taller than stock, asking because these vehicles are essentially jacked up car platforms and you increased your height over the standard tires about an inch.
Well both are would be larger than stock, I could have went with a 245/65r17 if I wanted to keep it at the OEM specs.
245/70 is the same width and only slightly taller. Technically, a narrower tire is going to perform better in the snow. It has no rubbing or clearance issues. So, the 0.5” that it’s going to sit higher, is pretty negligible. People are lifting these things 2” without issue. So having a tire with 0.5” taller sidewall didn’t bother me. Actually seemed like a benefit for winter if anything.
Yeah the fitment is tough with these brakes, they are the main “issue” with 17” wheels. I test fit 3 sets of wheels. One KMC, one 1552, and these black rhinos. The KMC’s (which were built specifically for SUV’s) didn’t clear the brakes, as the barrel had a drop center. The 1552’s (also design for SUV’s) cleared, but it was paper thin. These black rhinos offered the most clearance, both from the caliper to the face of the wheel and the caliper to the barrel.

Looks good. What KMC did you try? I was planning for a Bully, and this Rumble as well. Unfortunately, I can't do a test fit so I have to rely on here.

Thanks for all the photos. We ordered our 22 Telly SXP + Nightfall in wolf gray last month and can hardly wait to receive it. We ordered all the different floor/cargo mats but now I’m rethinking that cargo mat.
Were your smartliners from Kia? I currently have WeatherTech in my Jeep but I’m not in love with the fit and am worried that it won’t fit like a glove in the Telly either. But your SLs look solid.

They were the KMC Alpines. I’d be careful, my assumption is most of their 17” wheels won’t fit.
I ordered my Smartliners directly from SL website. Fit is pretty damn good. There’s PLENTY of reviews and threads about all the options on here

The calipers cleared with the rumble? Just asking because I read in another thread about the BR Warlord needed a little shaving to clear.
Yeah, clears the caliper just fine.

Thanks! Just looking to order somewhere while I wait for the car to arrive.
