BoneZ Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I was going to do a 3+3 and 33" tires but once i really got into looking at the suspension and steering assembly, I have changed my mind on that, I will install a 3"bl and try to run 32" tires for now want to know how much trimming will be needed, Then hopefully I will be doing a SAS next winter. I will not have time and money to do it this winter after buying rig fixing broke parts and installing locker, body lift, a few steering upgrades, so it will have to wait tell next winter. Any info on how much trimming would be nice pics of rigs with 3"bl and 32's would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 That all depends on the width of the tire, and the offset of your rims. The more they stick out the more you'll have to trim. If you stay relatively close to stock offset, you shouldn't have to trim much at all. FWIW, I ran 32's on only a 3" SL for a couple of years with no issues at all.

On another note, what axles are about the right size for a SAS in these pathfinders besides a waggy axle just want to know what I should be watching for a good deal on. Or can someone post a link to a post with this info on it. Edited December 17, 2008 by BoneZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EB axles are the only other D44 worth considering unless you go full width.. any dana axle under a 44 is crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 85 is a 32" tire, 76 is a 31" tire, 71 is a 30" tire Yeah, that number is a percentage, ie the side wall is 75 (%) the size of the tread width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbywan Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I use this thing. I confuse myself...Sorry about that lol http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html LOL! No worries, I wouldn't have known except that in getting these wheels custom machined and ready and looking for sizes to fit them that would look good and fit on my truck I've been over this like 1000+ times in the past 2 months! They're wheels off a titan I had to have them machined then I painted them with automotive myself then had to make my own custom centers due to the center bore being drilled all the way through and out the front the oem centers no longer worked!

colbywan Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks guys!! I painted them with a product that has a matte finish then got some stickers off ebay so they'd have that nismo look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the metric tire size thing make sure to consider the rim size, On metric tires say you have a 305-70 r15 and a 305-70 r17. the 305-70-r15 will be about a 33" tire, while the 305-70 r17 will be about a 34" tire. Just want to put this out there to try to clarify the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
