Lifting my '03 Sport

Okay..I know this topic has been beat to death. But I'm looking for some advice/opinions for people who have had their lifts/leveling kits now for a few years.

My '03 Sport V8 just turned 57K miles and it's time for some new rubber. First of all, I have the Sequoia wheels - 17 x 7.5 (which have a diff offset than the stock wheels).
1) I'm thinking about powder-coating the wheels black (or maybe buying an extra set and doing it since its kinda hard having it without wheels for a week). Any opinions on a Galactic Grey with p.c. wheels? Or should I stick to the stock anthracite color.?
2) I want to put bigger tires- Nitto Terra Grapplers --preferably 285's. This truck will see no off-roading at all .........just for looks. I would assume with the "better" offset, I will still need some trimming. Since it has the XREAS, is there a preference of Brand now since you guys have had the leveling kits/spacers for a bit. Do you regret going the cheaper route with just spacers? And will I need Spidertracks spacers also??

Like I said, I have gone through ALL the threads about this.....but now I'm looking for everyones input since you can evaluate the pros and cons of what you did. It looks like most people have had the kits for a few years now. Thanks.......

Ohhhhh.....and I also considered getting the TRD wheels that were available when the 4th gens came out and p.c.ing them............but can't find them anywhere really. One place had them -- but I'm not paying $300 plus a wheel for something 7 years old!!
