Ive read alot of threads and bullitens and all that..I just dont get it lol.

I have the stock on the 04 X..
What im wonderin is can i take off 15'' rim and put on 16?

ok heres the main question. lets say i keep my 15's....whats the biggest tire i can get in there...no lift , no nothing.. a tire that is decent priced and will fit in there...im looking for beastly lookin tires lol .... PLZ HELP!:aufkopfhauen-big:

i know on my stock 04* i run 265/75/16 without rubbing, thats equal to a 31.5x10 tire

Anything that is 32" or less

it dont mater what size rim you have it dosent change the overall size of the tire..

i know on my stock 04* i run 265/75/16 without rubbing, thats equal to a 31.5x10 tire almost
but its exactly
30.5(30.645")x10.5(10.43")

Dude, just use the tire calculator here at the bottom

Anything that is 32" or less you are good.

when i looked my tires up they said the diameter was 31.5, so that why i put it, sorry about the wrong info

lol, no biggie yo,
and j, rim dia does matter when using the metric/aspect ratio size type

for example, 265/75/15 the sidewall is 75% of 265x2+tire diameter=overall height, thus
265/75/16 is one inch taller

it does not matter when using the overall dimension style, ie. 31X11.5X15, etc

even when i use the tire calculator it comes up as a 31.6496062992126

alright so any thing smaller than a 32 wont rub right? my car is all stock

If Almighty James Says It Is So, Then It Is So

yep

just throwing it out there, i bought some 32 x 11.5 BFG MT's. I had a PML first and they still rubbed like crazy. So i trimmed, now with my 3" lift and the trimming it is finally not rubbing. So not saying that someone elses statement about their 32's isnt true, but mine definitely rubbed big time.

did you use stock rims? if so its cause you didnt have enough back spacing for 11.5 wide tires

Well, I should not be the final authority on this.

Here is a statement that I heard yesterday....

"2000-2001 have narrower wheel wells than 2002-2004"

This is from my buddy Justin. Before the BL that we did not too long ago, he was COMPLETELY STOCK running 32" tires.

I actually called him on behalf of this. He said:

" I had to do really minor trimming to the plastic pieces in on the fender. There is a little "lip" that sticks out and I didn't even have to trim that all of the way"

So yes, he trimmed but it is so incognito, that you would have to be told that it is there.

yes im on the stocks. that makes sense.

hey man im Justin James friend but i have a 2002 xterra and im running 32 on it these are some pics when i was stock
