I want to know what sizes of tires people have put on their 05-07 Frontiers. How much bigger/wider can you go without haviing to lift the truck, post some pics too!

you could put any size you want if you cut the fenders enough.

i don't think you can go much bigger. the nismo already comes with basically a 31x10.50... though a 31x10.50 would be *slightly* bigger so you could put that on. I really don't think you could go to a 32" or anything wider than 10.5 based on how my truck looks (not a nismo, but still).

this is untrue. the nismo frontier comes with the equivalent of a 32x10.5 tire....people have been fitting 285/75R16 (33x11.5) with only some minor 'molding' of the fenderwell.

umm... sorry, nismo's come with a 265/75R16, which is ~ 31.6x10.4.

i was thinking of my truck (SE 4x4) which is a 265/70R16 which is ~ 30.6x10.4.

i didn't think the nismo was any different suspension except shocks -- i guess that makes 1" of difference -- or perhaps i could wear the 32?

anybody know what fits reg. 4x4 w/out any modification?nismo?

guess how big a 33" tire is? generally 32.XXX". so a 265/75r16 which is 31.6" is equivalent to a "nominally" 32" tire.

for the BFG AT....a 32x11.5R15 tire is actually 31.7" tall.

in 265/75R16 it is 31.7" tall.

and yes a 285/75R16 tire, which is a 'skinny' 33 (32.8") fits without any mods on an xterra...i think you have to trim or remove the mud flaps for the frontier.

sorry man, i know. on my above post i was saying i was sorry b/c i screwed up and i was thinking of a non-nismo.

so people have been running 33" (skinnY) on a non-nismo? or just on the nismo? looking at my truck, i really don't think i could go over a 32" -- if even that.
