Dear Friends,I am planning to upgrade my stock 245/70/R16 (in Dubai-UAE) to 275/70 R16, may be Yokohama Geo G52 or Michelin LTX.

Reasons for Upgrading - I drive in desert and my tyres are too small to give me Floating.Car - Pathy 2003 Model - Every thing standard

I need some advises what else I need to do, so that the tyres does not rub the inside of fender / Bumpers.

and If i need to put larger Coils Springs to increase the height, will it solve rubbing problem,

If it will then what other problems do I face.I appreciate help.

Have your tire shop test fit the front tires, so that you can turn the wheels hard both ways. See if it rubs. I have never seen a Pathfinder with stock wheels and 275's, but I suspect it will rub pretty good.
