i know that basicly 33s will fit a stock xterra with just doing the melt mod. Im just getting a 2'' lift for now untill i can afford to go bigger. i plan on getting a set of rims and tires. im looking at the super swamper LTB 34/10.5R16 and was wondering if they would fit and still have enough room for tire movement.

The 34's stick out 1/2" more than the 33's...so, if you did the melt thing to fit the 33's...the 34's put you close again.

A suspension lift will only help tire clearance at ride height...when you brake, go over a bump, turn, etc, so that the suspension compresses, the tire goes up and hits whatever it would have hit BEFORE THE LIFT.

On your X, there's room in the well for upwards movement, but the bottoms of the wells in front are relatively narrow...so you may need to trim a bit more...those paddlewheel LTB lugs tend to play a tune on nearby truck parts...my LTB"s made a noise like a playing card in bicycle spokes on my rear wheel well plastic until it was done self clearancing.

IE: The LTB's need more room that an equivalent sized milder MT or AT, etc.

Right now I have 33" BFG AT's and 16x8 Pro Comp Xtreme's and love the wheels, not so much the tires but upgrading the Goodyear DuraTracs very soon. Pics of my current setup here

nice, just looked at your build thread and like the DuraTracs on your X. Do you have 285's?
