tekazgtr1984 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yeah you can do that but you will have to do some trimming of the fender & part of the front bumper (especially at stock height) but unless you have like a 12.50 wide tires then you wouldn't want to go with that wide of a rim. I've seen a 32x11.50 tire on a 15x10 rim but I wouldn't recommend it (just because the tire shop says it can be done doesn't mean that it should be done). Thanks, Boston. I'm still deciding on wheels, but I know for once I go SFD, tires will be 33x12.5 for sure. My guess is a 10" wide wheel will be ideal. As for trimming, I'm hoping to keep it to as little as possible. TJM will be installed, too, which should help clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the hell outta my front bumper when I was still stock height any how. I cut off everything under the turn signals: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zibi Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I cut the hell outta my front bumper when I was still stock height any how. I cut off everything under the turn signals: You ran 32"s on stock height didn't you? What kind of rubbing did you get with/without the bumper surgery?

Fukinitupagain Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 You ran 32"s on stock height didn't you? What kind of rubbing did you get with/without the bumper surgery? Those were worn out tires too, but there was a good bit of rubbing up front (the rear was fine). I completely took out the plastic liner up front & I could've just cut about an 1-1.5" diagonal on the corner of the front bumper, but then I thought, what would be the fun of that?! It rubbed the strut tower really bad but that was in the begining because I still had stock rims but after I got my 15x8's with the 3.68" of BS that stopped.

tekazgtr1984 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 So would a 33x12.5 tire mounted on a 15x10 wheel with a 4" BS be enough to clear the strut in the front? I'm having considerable difficulty finding wheels with less BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am not mistaken you are in the wrong section with that KovmanN... these are R50's (97-2004) not WD21's (86.5-95) but eh, thakns for the imput.

180sx Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 So the census is make sure you have at least 3.75" BS for 15x10's? Why wouldnt you recommend a 32x11.5 on a 15x10? just curious. I seen a 15x10 with 31x10.5's before. looked stupid because the sidewalls were actually going in instead of out (weird). But i think a 11.5 would keep the side wall atraight up and down. If anything, I'm sure with good trimming the 15x10 with 3" BS should work...At least I hope...Only one way to find out for sure right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps on a R50 it wouldn't be very good unless you were rocking a subframe drop. But a 15x8 would be sufficient for a 32x11.5 wheel. As to the census regarding backspacing, I think the debate is still ongoing as to what's best. I've been told a 15x10 wheel with 4" BS should be fine for 33" or 35" flot. tires but I'm still having my doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zibi Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm buying some 31" BFG A/Ts that come with 6bolt chev rims. I recall reading that chevy rims will fit the pathfinder, but I also remember reading that they won't fit over the front hubs. Which is right? I have stock suspension with the stock drive flanges (no manual hubs). For $200 it would be stupid not to pick up these tires and I have no problem selling the rims and buying new ones if they don't fit. Anyone run chevy rims? Can I run chevy rims? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Which chevy rims are they? Ive seen those 5 spoke (the bif fat spokes at like sort of an angle) from a onld Tahoe on an R50. The cap could even be put back on to cover the hubs no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i will have be ok height wise with the strut but width wise i am a little nervous. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 you should be fine. Whats the back spacing on the wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissan3 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 you should be fine. Whats the back spacing on the wheels? The wheel has a 4.5" backspace. I am hoping it will be enough my bro has the same backspace on his pathy he has 31x10.5 tires and he has over an inch to spare around his strut so i am hoping it will be good.
