    To 285 or not to 285

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Time to change my tires I have put on them 85,000 km and some of them have come bold .

     

    I have noticed that the tires on my wife’s FJ still have 50% thread though I fixed them around the same time .

    So I had this idea to fix the new set on her FJ and swap the old 285 / 75 / R16 to the pathfinder , since they will eventually get dry even before she consumes the thread .

     

    I have done some trial as shown in the pic below but

     

    Although the wheel of the FJ didn’t fit in on the Path but I managed to have a trial as shown below , and I was surprised with the much unexpected difference between the 285s and the 265 I already have on my Path , and noticed those two major points to deal with :

     

    1. I have noticed was the strut tower can’t be cleared by the tire.

     

    2. The tire will rub against the wheel well even when straight.

     

    3. The weight difference between the 285 and the 265 .

     

    I am thinking that I can get around it by adding to my OME lift 1.5” wheel spacers / 1” front strut spacers and 1” back coil spacers .

     

    Have anyone had a similar set up ? with 285s BFG AT ? I am asking because I still have doubts whether they will fit

     

    Your input is highy appreciated .

     

    What an exhausting and dehydrating task to change the tire in a 50 Celsius and 80% humidity wont be doing that again soon

    Sad to hear about it Steve , I have always admired your truck .

     

    Looking at the other full half of the cup , you are still in production :)

     

    I understand you about being away from off road , i have been away myself for the last year , but there is always an inner voice calling to hit the dirt , and at the first oppoertunity i shall , and hopefully will see you wheeling again .

    Xterra vs Pathfinder?

    The Toyota FJ cruiser sucks. It's so cheap and flimsy.

     

    On the contrary the FJ out wheels and tougher than any Nissan except the real Patrol and Nissan decided to stop building real offroad by discontinuing its Patrol production .

     

    I know iam putting myself under attack for saying so on a Nissan forum but I own an FJ and a 4Runner and both of them out wheels my R50 .

     

    Back to the R50 X terra choice they wheel the same except the R50 is way smoother on the road. So if your offroad is moderate fix her my 2 cent advise .

    Anyone Have a PS3?

    Hehehe boys will always be boys , no matter how old we grow .

     

    I play collin Mc Rae Dirt 2 and Red Dead Redemption

    Completed 007 Quantum of Solace .

     

    And I have an urge for the GT5 , I have seen it in the mall where you can test it with an LED screen and a seat with pedals and steering wheel , but I felt shy to line up with the kids awaiting their turn or to kick out the kid out of the seat so i could try it

     

    It has been a while i didnt play due to the lack of time .
