I had a 2008 Jeep Unlimited Rubicon which had the BF Goodrich LT255/75R17/C 111Q Mud-Terrain T/A® KM's.

But now I have a 2003 Infiniti QX4 4WD which normally takes 245/65/17's.

My question is would the 255/75/17's fit on my Infiniti Stock Wheels?
And if they did would there be any problems with turning, rubbing or clearance?

Ok, thanks.

Say does anyone know what the stock tires originally were?

It should be listed, with original tires, on the inside drivers door.

You could go a +1 tire size on stock suspension as long as your rear suspension doesnt sag from old blown shocks. It would be a 265/65r17 tire size on your stock 17" infiniti qx4 rims. Thats what i am going to do here within the next month before the weather gets s***, and take off my 22's for the rest of fall/winter. Probably gonna go with either the nitto terra grappler's, or maybe even the trail grapplers if the road noise isnt too bad on them.

Interesting that you brought up shocks.
I was looking at mine today and they look like the originals.
Did this vehicle come with heavy duty shocks?
My ride seems ok but I don't know if/when I'm supposed to replace the shocks.
