looks good! Are those the General Grabber A/T's? I was thinking of getting those next if my BFG's ever wear out.... they come with red letter sidewalls as well, i think the red would look cool.

It's the 4x4parts.com 2"kit with new springs and shocks/struts.

Yes, they are the General Grabber AT2 tires in a 265/65/17.

My wheels were off for 4 days while I was painting them and letting the paint cure. Sooo, during that time while it was sitting on jack stands, I really cleaned the wheel wells thoroughly. The final resonator shines like new now too.

Next will be exhaust, roof basket, lights for the brush guard, and eventually the 4" sub frame drop. Then I'll be a monster truck like 01silvapathy.

Oh and the wheels are not white like the close ups look. They are platinum metallic and black metallic. iPhone pics, sorry.

Holy CRAP! That looks NICE! The black accents make the wheels look bigger.

You are right I didn't notice, but they do look bigger. While the tires have "shine gel" on them, it's hard to tell where the wheel ends and the tire begins, even from a few feet away.

I have a set of 18" rims brand new in the box if you want them I'll make you a steal. They are for our 6x5.5 lug pattern and have negative backspacing too.

So are these tires noticeably louder at highway speeds than the ones you had?

Nah, these won't be for you then. They are chrome, deep dish and not factory looking. I can still return them. I just have to pay shipping.

Oh my Goodness. I think you may have just started a new trend for those rims. I swear to god I thought they were new aftermarket Rims all together. Well now that I know what Im doing in the spring.

Clear corners is a must. I appreciate all of the positive comments. I'd be happy to help anyone do this if they live in south Florida. I'm moving back to West Palm Beach next week.

The funny thing is that when I put the lift on I was still not happy, but now that I did new more aggressive tires and paint on the rims... It's like I'm in a new truck.

When I first saw the pics, something just didn't look right, but now the look has grown on me - I guess it was nothing. Your Pathfinder looks great!

BTW Finkle, you have a PM.
