I was wondering what the max size of tires will fit with a 2004 without a lift, or a affordable lift that works well in the city as well as in the elements. I do use it as my main transportation just want to add a lil extra to help when at the beach or in the snow...any info would be helpful. thanks

32" diameter tires will fit 00-04 Xterra's with no lift.

In a 15" rim size, the popular choice is 32x11.5/15

In a 16" rim size, the popular choice is 265/75/16

If you add a Body Lift (Affordable, and makes room for larger tires), you can fit 33" diameter tires.

For a small affordable suspension lift, do a Poor Man's Lift (PML), which is merely adjusting the built-in torsion bar adjusters to raise the front 1.5", and add longer shackles to raise the rear a matching 1.5".

DO NOT GET A BRUSH GUARD. They are a cosmetic affectation and a waste of money.

Get a real bumper, as that will do what you THOUGHT the Brush Guard was going to do for you.

Don't buy yet....just look around, and then come back with questions.

Welcome from Ky!

I have 31x10.5's on my stock 15's. The only time they'll rub is when I'm backing out of my driveway (slight incline) and turning the wheels to full lock. Got some AC shackles on the way to do the PML.
Good luck!
