Rebelord Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) 33" tires are a bit to fit with just a spring/spacer lift. Will have to do some trimming. Not a good pic, but here is half worn 31" with IronMan springs and 1 1/2" spacers up front. Edited August 26, 2014 by Rebelord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davesaddiction Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 New to the forum, and I really appreciate all the good info -- and serious inspiration -- you all have shared here. Just bought an '03 SE 4x4, and am trying to decide on tire size. I've already read through all the posts in this thread twice - ha! I've got the later style factory six-spokes (17" x 8" with a 20 mm offset) and plan to stick with the stock suspension at least for a while. OEM tire size is 245/65 (which is about 29.5" x 9.5" - using Yoko Geolander specs for reference). I'd like to go up to 265/65 (30.7 x 10.7) but am wondering if my offset will be an issue. With the wheel width and offset, backspacing would be 4.8", correct? Looks like the safe choice would be 255/65 (confirmed by YukonTrail) which would gain me 1/2" in both directions, but it looks like many of you are running 31" tires with widths around 10.5" with little to no problem. Should I feel confident buying 265/65, or just stick with a smaller size? I guess I could also go 245/70 like 02psychopathy, but I'd like to gain both height and width if possible. If you have tire recommendations, I'd appreciate them, too. This will be my winter/camping/dogs/trails rig. While I look forward to getting into off-roading, I'd like a tire that will be capable off-road but still have decent highway manners. Long-term plans would be to build a very capable truck for camping/overlanding; I doubt if I'll ever get serious about rock-crawling or deep mud. Thanks in advance for the input!

ridepow Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks for all this info! Just wanted to run this by you guys (new here): 1996 SE Stock Wheels (15x7) No Lift Currently running 265/70 15 tire size. I'm shopping around for some snow tires and found a good deal on some 265/75 15s. Will these fit ok with no rubbing on my stock SE rims? Any feedback will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

ferrariowner123 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Wow, looks killer, another kouki pathy with a swing away in the US, how i want that so bad, and soon to have. Get a member rides build going, i want to see more of your rig man, she looks GREAT -Kyle EDIT: I just realized something, was your rig originally that purple/maroon color?

nckrawler Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The tire carrier came of the pre face lift r50 so it fit perfect I snagged it up at a u-pull it yard. No my pathfinder was originally white but I wrecked it and when I rebuilt it I ended up with a junkyard door the was maroon. As far as the build goes I need more info on power steering pumps mine capped out wheeling with big tires so I've been looking into an agr high performance pump. I also need gears a locker and sleeve my tierods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrariowner123 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Dude you keep getting more and more interesting with each post, but we need to keep this thread for the Tire fitment. Can you make a build thread in the members rides so i can ask more questions!!! PLEASE! lol and no problem, people who do something never done on a pathy will usually get awesome points from me. -Kyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 01 SE 4x4 AC md springs front/rear (net lift around 5/8" after settling) Stock 16x7 se wheels P255/70/16 General Grabber AT2's No rubbing 96 SE 4x4 Saggy stock coils Stock 15x7 se wheels P265/70/15 BFG Long Trails No rubbing (rides like a marshmallow) Trying to decide on my suspension/wheel/tire combo. Option 1: replacing all coils with stock Moog replacements, 1" 4x4design spacers, 31x10.50's on stock wheels painted black (possibly add 1" wheel spacers for better stance or 15x8 3.75bs Bart d-windows). Option 2: AC medium duty coils all around, 2" 4x4design spacers, 33x10.50's on either wheel combo listed above (not sure how much trimming I'd have to do). Trying to keep this project as low budget as possible, so I'm leaning more towards #1, cause it's cheaper and proven, but #2 would be awesome as long as it would work without major hacking.

albino Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 nckrawler what is the backspacing on those rims? I'm guessing you are running 12.5 wide tires... I have been looking into getting some 35x10.5 with just the AC lift so I'm glad to see someone is pulling off something similar. Any rubbing at full stuff or full lock?

nckrawler Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm not sure the backspacing but they are factory 2002 4runner sport wheels. Where in nc are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaton Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 97 LE 4x4 Wheels: stock 15 x6.5 Tires:Goodyear Wrangler 235/65 r15 No lift. My wish list: OME 1.75 in lift. 235/85r16 tires. I would like to do this w/o using any wheel or strut spacers. The 235/85r16s are 31.7 x9.3 ins so maybe there would'nt be a rubbing problem using 16x7 bs 3.75? I don't mind a little plastic trimming but don't want to have to cut metal. Any thoughts folks? Thanks, Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdj Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Your after pics look just like my '98 with 31"s and no lift(but a Chillkoot) Higher speed reverse power turn on snow (we call it a "James Bond") will rub front driver's side. Did yours contact the drivers side mud flap? One more question... Do you get rust in Panama? Your truck looks like new!

Kevin Hi Kevin, when I put the wheels the 265/70R16 it rub on the mud flaps, just unscrew and walaaa hahaha, In Panama we have as you know beaches, but we don't suffer from rust here unless you leave the car with no use or don't wash it, normally I clean the car every weekend (old practices) , also this car have 95k miles so its about 6k miles annually, the car is pretty in mint condition, that's why I don't have to replace it, it give me everything I want so far... we do a lot of mudding trails here, most of them are 35" wheel as minimum required and I dont want to bring the car to that level because I will need to change my 4.6 relations, but I at least my other mod will be SFD to have more belly clearance and custom made front and rear bumper for winch and tire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
