We kind of want an aggressive stance to the truck with some decent tires, maybe 31s or so at the most. I was thinking about some xterra wheels or some desert runner Frontier wheels. If anyone has some pics of 2wd hb's with some oem xterra wheels post them up. Below is a pic of the truck they day we bought it. We are also thinking about removing the tailgate and replacing it with one of those nets, maybe give the truck a nice desert runner look.

Here's my truck with 15in American Racing wheels with 235/75r15 Goodyear Wrangler radials. Does it get any more 90's than this?[IMG][/IMG]

I haven't mounted them yet, but I will be using '94 Pathfinder wheels. I just have to clean, prep and paint them. Going for an "off road wheel tuck"

Because you can park your car in a creek overnight to tighten up the spokes. 1911 Mercer Raceabout FTW!

I didn't know if that was a VW pickup, of the South African Nissan Bakkie, but the aluminium mags with gold centers used to be my favorite rims on Gran Turismo 1, a long time ago.

It'll take a body lift and some fairly significant fender trimming to do 31s.

Source a set of 15" desert Runner wheels and a set of 235/75/15s. You may have to do a little fender trimming with that, but the factory backspacing should keep them tucked in pretty good.
