I tried searching a little bit, but could not find anything solid.

I have had my 2012 Rogue for about a year now, and ever since I have had it, I take it off roading 3-4 times a month at a placed in Indiana called Badlands with friends, an 800 Acre off-road park ( It does very well surprisingly ). I know the Rogue is not meant for that type of off-roading but its fun, and I don't try to go in mud or places I know I can't do as if I was in a Jeep lol. The question is, are there any type of suspension upgrades I could install to handle the amount of off-roading I am doing, as well as lifting it up ( just a little, to give myself a little more ground clearance, nothing crazy ). Or will I just have to replace parts with stock, due to the lack of availability of aftermarket?

I would get an Xterra, however shortly after getting the Rogue I had to file bankruptcy, so getting a new vehicle anytime soon will be difficult.

Thanks in advance..

Thanks.

What is the biggest size 17' tire I can put on there without it rubbing anything? I like the meaty look! Plus it will help when I am having fun, BF Goodrich A/T's for example.

Just have OE tires on right now, 225/60/R17's. So, what could I go to?

Something like below, tall sidewall etc to give it that "look"
