SpeedyGreeney Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 After much delay, I am happy to report that Fleury's spacers and the new wheels have been installed on my R50. Very pleased with the result. The new setup: Stock Springs Fleury's spacers (2" front, 2.5" rear) 16" black steel rims 265/75/16 M/T retreads (BFG A/T casings) NOTE: My 17" LE rims will be for sale... contact me if you're interested. I'll try and post an ad in the classifieds sometime in the near future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Looks good man! Is it just the photos or does the rear sit lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGreeney Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 That would just be the pictures. With the 2.5" in back and 2" in front, it levels out very nicely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerch641 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 God, I keep coming here and just teasing myself, I've got 1 more day till I'm home and can finally get my Pathy from the shop with the lift and new tires installed. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Looks great, would you mind taking a close up of the wheels you chose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Looking good! I like the width/backspacing of those rims, they seem to fit perfectly! Do you recall the width/backspacing? I know the center caps say Vision, but they also look exactly like Cragar Soft 8s, which are available from Summit Racing. A FYI for people, Summit just charges a flat rate shipping/handling fee so when I ordered my 5 rims, it was $11.95 to have them delivered to my doorstep. Pretty hard to beat... Holy wheel weights though! They didn't get that re-tread centered very well, did they? B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 That's not really that bad for an MT tire that is almost a 32". My 31" bfg AT's took almost that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Keen eye on the wheel weights. At least they are black. I had to hand paint all of mine (31x10.5x15") with black touch-up paint from my Miata. Looks really good though. I must get those tires!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGreeney Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Yep, retread M/T's will do that to ya. Plasti-dipping the weights made the wheels bearable to look at. But yes they're exactly like Soft 8's, they just saved me some cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanrollins0217 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Funny thing is that tread pattern looks like a Michelin mt recap of there OTR 4x4 euro tire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick13 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 That's my favorite tread pattern from TW tires...nice choice IMO. I thought it was based on the old GY MT/R though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanrollins0217 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I don't know I mean with the copying of tread patterns between smaller company's such as fuel gripper tires copying todos open county mt it's hard to tell but you may be right it has been awhile since I have seen the michy's OTR tread it may have changed in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanrollins0217 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Here's a little demo not thread jack but here you go (fuel gripper) (toyo o/c mt) Last and least Michelin OTR tires from late 80s to now military spec too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGreeney Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Well, I have some sad news. The Pathfinder is gone. Took a straight trade for a beautiful E46 coupe, one I just couldn't pass up. I WILL be owning another Pathfinder in my lifetime, so I'll be back. Thank you for passing on your knowledge, opinions, and advice.
