Hi all, I am new to this site but not new to my Pathfinder. I have a 2003 with some goodies, it is my daily driver and vacation rig. I need new tires and will be pulling the trigger this week and i have the stock size on now. I want to know what the biggest height and width I can do without an issue or even lift it a little. It gets driven on the beach alot and also pulls a large jetski trailer. If not height i deffinatly need wide

thanks

Please read the FAQ section in this forum. Can be found here pathfinder-qx4-faq-s-check-here-first-t488596.html under the "Wheels/Tires" section. If you have more questions after that, go ahead and ask.

Jeez, take it easy buddy.

Q: What is the largest tire I can run with factory suspension?
A: It is not recommended to use a tire taller than 31" as it can cause rubbing on the fender flares or front bumper. You may be able to fit larger tires, however that would require removal of the fender flares as well as an aftermarket bumper (unless you cut away some of the front bumper) and other various trimming/bending.

Q: What is the largest tire I can run with the A.C. (Automotive Customizers) lift?
A: With some serious trimming and bending you may be able to fit as large as a 34" tire, given the fender flares are removed and an aftermarket front bumper is used (unless you cut away some of the front bumper). The A.C. lift has different outcomes on different vehicles, some net more than 2" of lift (after settling) which can allow for larger tires.

Hi.

I am wondering the same....largest tire on stock suspension.

Ron said 31" Would that be the same for a 2000 year model?

What about width?

Thanks in advance.

on what kind of wheel?

on a stock 7" wide wheel, it is not recommended to have anything wider than a 275, but wider aftermarket wheels, you can go as wide as you want as long as you've got enough lift and clearance from the suspension.
