rustedhorse Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Just curious because I'm about to put 31's on my 96 SE, if I will need to use spacers. I have 2 that are 1/4 inch thick but I dont know if I'll catch enough thread on the lugs. I would think that the alloy wheels would be thicker than stock steel spare to begin with. Has anyone tried this? Also are there any wheels from other OEM brands that are light with less negative offset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcalv71 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So if i understand correctly, I could put some 31x10.5 on my stock 96 without any issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrariowner123 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hold on there Rebel, I'd agree with you that "most" 31's will clear on stock height. But do mention, some run into strut clearance and need spacers or new wheels. Also from my experience with my duratrac's had some rubbing issues. I had to cut holes in the inner fenders, and they eventually ripped the front mud flaps off, so generally 31's fit, but there are a few tires that love to be a little annoying. lol Just making sure the airways are clear on this beaten to death subject. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Agreed. I'll clarify. On a non facelift Pathfinder. If you have the SE wheels and your springs aren't sagging horrendous. You can fit 31x10. The stock SE size is 265/70R15 which equal 30x10R15. Sent from my Moto X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dblj22rsvl Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I have a 2001 LE and just installed cooper adventurer 265/75/16. There is very little clearance at strut. Its not rubbing going forward but it rubs in reverse when hard cranking either way. Did I go to big? Its currently stock height with all new shocks struts control arms bushings etc. No slack everything is tight up front. My bearings do need to be replaced. They were quite before but after leaving tire shop they grumble unless its tires. Any insight on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Stepping up to 32" they will rub at full lock in reverse. Just one of them things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
