TrailChaser Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I want to get 32x11.50x15. I still have my stock 95 wheels and I'm pretty sure they're 15x6... I know it's a no no to put tires that wide on this rim unless you do alot of rock crawling (which I don't do, unless you consider curbs in the city rocks) I plan on getting 15x8 wheels when I come across a good deal on the ones I want. My main question is: will those 32x11.50's fit w/o rubbing on a stock 95 pathy. Or should I just go with the 31x10.50's??? Also does anyone know what the difference in gas mileage would be between the different sizes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelmanLS1 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 You would have to do major fender trimming to fit 32's on an unlifted Pathfinder. Also, the stock chrome wheel size is 15x7- so even though it's still not the best idea to put 11.50 tires on, it's not going to be that big of a problem. I'd stick with 31x10.50 because the loss in power and gas mileage doesn't make up for the gained height and maybe traction. Basically, a 1 inch difference in tire isn't going to help you so much that it's worth the extra money for gas and the aggravation of power loss. Unless that's what you're into.

Precise1 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 From what I understand, DITTO. I have 10.5x31" on my pathy and they clear just fine... Start getting taller, wider and messing with the backspacing; no promises... Is the gain worth it ?? I dont know... Maybe just more agressive tires in the smaller pattern will equal the larger size in traction. But then I have to ask; If it is just for curb crawling, why bother ?? Don't be a poser... enjoy what you have and put the $ in the bank... You will be glad for it, and not look lame... Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwaretoad Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I thought the chrome steels were 6" and the alloy Legos were 7"... correct me if I'm wrong. I've got 31x10.50x15's on my Legos (5"BS) and there is some rubbing at full lock. Not much, but it's there. If you were to go to an 8" rim with say a 3.75" or 4" BS for your 31's, you'd be happier. As it's been mentioned, no way will 32's fit without lifting and/or cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 The chrome wheels are 15x6 and the aluminum Lego wheels are 15x7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelmanLS1 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Does this mean 31x10.50 won't fit on the chrome wheels? 6 inches seems to narrow to fit 10.50's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 You can put 31x10.5's on 6" wheels, but some tire shops don't like to because of liability issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Does this mean 31x10.50 won't fit on the chrome wheels? 6 inches seems to narrow to fit 10.50's on. I too was under the impression that 31x10.5 wouldn't fit on the 6in chrome wheel, so I got a set of 7ins, but mounted my bald spare on the 6in and it looks allright. if you dont airdown alot I think it would be ok.
