I got new Tires!! 265/70/16

[sicwitit]

Hey guys, I just thought I'd share some updates with you all. So I came back to visit with my family and wife before she shipped out to Iraq, and while I was home, I did a little upgrade to my rig. I ended up buying a set of 265/70/16 Nitto Terra grapplers, I have a friend that works for a well known distributer, and was able to get these guys at a very low price. Thats the only reason I chose these over the same sized BFG tire. anyway, I had to move the fender liner mounting point on the lower bumper forward a few inches, you will see it in the pics below, I had to trim off some of the front mud guards, and shave off some of the front bumper where the tires were hitting at full lock in reverse. enough talking, heres the pics, oh and I mounted them on the 16" Weds Sports wheels I shipped from Japan too. EnjoyAbove you can see where I had to cut to make everything fit.

Later after everything was finished, I went out and did some neighborhood crawling!!!

I really like those tires, I'm searching for a larger set that will fit on the stock R50 to buy this spring.

It looks sexy with the rear flex on the snow mound.

I don't know how much larger you can really go, I already had to trim the bumper, and a little off the fenders to get this to work. unless you go with a ARB bumper, and really trim, remove, or get some wider fender flares, its going to be difficult to get anything bigger under her. I'm not saying its impossible, just difficult. I'm all for it either way.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I think I'm going to send another set of these wheels back for my dad's Hardbody in the pic above, and go with the same size tire for him too.

Looks awesome!

Almost looked like a land cruizer at first, nice.

[sicwitit]

thanks man, it really gives it a much better overall appearence. I think the next move is to find a ARB bumper, and roof rack. I think I've given up on going with TE37's

The terra grapplers are good tires.I have them for my summer rims. I really wish I could run them for the winter but I didnt want to do any trimming.

[slickroger]

Definitely looks good

i like the urban offroad look, sexy, but your "platinum edition le" in 04 came with the handles and all colour matched like the qx4, previous year le's had only the mirrors, and se's was black, getting mine color matched in may.

Edit: that last picture, man if it was lowered like mine i think it would look totally badass with the tires and rims. but they probably wouldnt fit then lol.

Looking badass bro! I was looking at those and the price difference between those and the BFG's makes them totally worth it. How long did it take to do the trimming? I'm planning on going with 265/75/17's if they'll fit.

Hey Billy, not long, 2 bolts and 2 + screws hold on each mud flap, and for all the trimming, I used a set of heavy duty tin snips from Lowes. Then for the fender liners, I unbolted the 3 lower front bolts, pushed the liner forward, and somewhat guessed where it would line up. I was lucky enough to guess right and after I drilled the holes, I could see the liners slip nuts through the holes, so I just used the same screws to secure them a couple inchs forward and was good to go. I was thinking of going with my stock 17's and running a 265/70 but I really like the offset of these wheels. my dad was impressed too so when I get back to Tokyo, I found a set online a few hours ago that I have to go buy for him so he can get the same look going on.

The cheapest I can find for the Nitto's online are about $135 a tire? not to bad of a price, but I still got mine for a good % cheaper. Its good to have connections at times.
