greetings, all -

i'm a newb here...and just picked up an 06 Pathfinder today... i'm wondering where the "Search" function is here...and if anyone can point me in the proper direction for an answer on what the largest wheel/tire combination the stock suspension and setup can accomodate without scrubbing or looking awkward...

thanks in advance, guys!

Hey SC!

Welcome aboard!

SEARCH button is at the top, flashing in red...

By "biggest", do you mean widest or tallest? Are you looking for an off-road setup, or are you looking for street tires? Bigger wheels or just bigger tires on the stock wheels?

thanks, AZHitman! dude, i'm cracking up that i missed the "search" button... it was TOO obvious so i overlooked it!

and by biggest i mean more geared towards an offroad setup... i would like a more aggressive tire, but a better looking wheel, as well... i was thinking about a 17x8 wheel but i'm not sure if it will fit or if i need a specific offset to make it fit... also, with that size, what is the largest tire that i can go with? i'm looking for width and not so much height... just an inch or so taller would suit no problems...

thanks for the help and info!

Not a problem brotha - Site gets kinda cluttered, easy to miss.

17x8 or 17x9 wheel will be MORE than fine. I had those on my 97 Pathy 2wd. I was running 275/60/17 and they looked nice and beefy, but still sweet on the highway.

If you want real off-road tires, I'd go NO BIGGER than 31x12.50, and you MIGHT be pushing it at stock height.
