I am actually not sure is the best place to post, however... I'll try here before in case opening a new post.
I am a new member, with very little knowledge of the Pathfinder (I had it just a bit more than a month and few thousand Km) and generally speaking of offroad and mechanics, but very much willing to learn the three things.
Few weeks ago, I got stuck on a quicksand and now, to avoid it, I am planning to buy a new set of wheels) and may be raise the WD21 a bit. I found locally (Philippines) some MudTerrain (32 x 11.5 R15) tires and I have few questions that puzzles me before purchasing, may be someone would be so kind to help me clear my mind ?
Right now I am mounting some 31 10.5 R15 AT over original wheels, Picture attached.
1. Would this tires fit my Terrano without excessively modifing ? ( I might remove the fender flares and mudguard because they are actually almost falling apart and may be the stepboard or at least reduce it's size)
2. What size of rims/mags should I buy for it ? (found also some Roh which are very affordable, but I would have to buy from a separate dealer, than I need specific size to be sure they will fit)
3. On a volcanic sand / low river/ stones mixed size terrain, would those tire be an improvement, or I better think about something else ?
4. Is it reasonable to have 2 sets of wheels (one for the offroading and one for normal daily routine) ?
5. Should I first think of a body lift / suspension lift or the wheels ? What would be more effective to avoid getting stuck ?
Thank you in advance for your time and experience.
Here the pictures...
Front and Back actually installed. (for my poor knowledge, seems there wouldn't be any problem putting a slightly larger tire, but again... I would prefer a more competent opinion .
The MT I found ...
Here a picture of the car itself...
