My 2005 R0 hit the 200,000 km

Either one of the suggested sizes will rub at stock suspension .

Thanks 01 , That is a good news from someone who has been there and done it .

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

what a mean R50 i love it . How is your IFS handling all this extra stress ?

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 .

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 .

Thanks goodness for your safety , may god be with those affected.

I am just checking on our fellow members from New Zealand , how are they ? and hope that the Quake didn't affect them or their families .

It is all good , Kingman you need to take it easy on the newbie(s)

I have the same size of tires AT and no issues with the strut though it looks scary with only few mm of clearance .

That's a mean looking pathfinder , fits is very well

Neat work Chapeau bas As you mentioned the only negative point is the approach angle

I got the same message as Slick in the first post and was contacted by another one from the same company . All contacts seem to be geniuin and I think it would be no harm if they use some footage of my Pathy . The same Sam Bishop as mentioned in slick's post has sent me a video footage release to be singed so they can use my you tube videos . I think we can all contribute and may ask them to have a Special thanks to NPORA at the end of their intended video release for Nissan , what do you say ?

I fly back home during winter season just to get to see the snow and enjoy driving on it . I love the fog I love the snow I love the rain I love pulling out stuck cars I love everything about winter
