The wheels are Zinik Z-12 18x8.5.Tires pictured are Cooper XST 265/60/18.I`m running Falken`s now.I got the wheels at Customwheel.com.The didn`t fit the Xterra so they had Zinik custom drill me a set.I`ve probably got the only set on an Xterra in the country.

Nice....now why is that chick not lookin or posin' for the camera? That'd make it to XOTM!

Real nice looking wheels.I had 20`s on my '01 and thought the ride was a bit hard on that thin rubber.So I went with 18`s on my '06.How`s the ride on 22`s?

What size tires can I fit on a 2000 SE with 18'' or 20'' rims and no lift?

Oh cool. I saw a truck at the grocery store a couple days ago with stars in the rims and was wondering who made them though they appeared less street than yours.
Nice wheels.

What size tires can I fit on a 2000 SE with 18'' or 20'' rims and no lift?

You will want to keep the overall diameter at or below 31.5".

22's SON! go big or go home! lol j/p. ive noticed more people like to go with smaller rims so the tires wont be so thin like mine. but i promise you thinner rubber holds up just as well as the thick stuff. ive gone over many curbs wit my shoes. never been over any sharp rocks tho. lol. i guess it just depends on what you plan on doin with ur x.

and guys....i am workin on the drop waitin on my buddy to get back from offshore he'll know what to do. i just couldnt figure it out. haha. and are drop blocks universal? because if not finding some for the xterra is going to be tough because i have tried and its not going good.

The shorter side walls will just make your ride more harsh due to less rubber in the sidewall to flex when you hit a bump so you feel alot more. Plus your tire guy will hate you for low pro sidewalls like that. LOL They suck to mount unless you have a special tire machine and attachments to help you like we do at work.

true true. you will feel bumps. and hey how bout helpin out a fellow cx member with some discounted tires? j/p........................unless you're gonna do it! lol

twest, I like the 22's but I have heard a few people complain about the ride being "a little bit more rough" and where its kinda bumpy, but where I live almost every street is bumpy as hell w pot holes and crap everywhere, but I see tons of trucks and cars with 22's and bigger all the time, so I figured it can't be that bad. I like the 22's but I want black rims on mine (same color as yours too), but what size tires can I fit with 20's or even 22's without lifting the truck?

wit 22's mine are 265/35 r22 and i would say thats as big a tire as u can fit. because i had to take the mudflaps off and i had to cut the ridge where the screw holes are out so i could turn without them rubbin.

how does it ride with the thin tires though?

Hell why not....

its a little rough but it doesnt bother me tho. and u guys are not funny! :mocking:

the difference between 20's and 22's doesn't seem like it would be that much anyway though, so I think it might be the 22's I get.. It just depends on what rims I pick

gotta ask...where the rest of the fender go?

what about a 20'' rim in either a 265/55/20, 275/50/20, or 285/50/20 tire?
if not what do you think would be the best tire size with a 20'' rim?

gotta ask...where the rest of the fender go?

fell off on the trail!

pretty sure he trimmed to make way for tube fenders...what ever happened with that james?

I had 275/45/20`s on my '01 that worked great.

That's the size the guy recommended me yesterday. I just didn't know if I should try filling up the wheel well a little bit more with more sidewall on the tire, but most companies don't make them in every size anyway. Do they ride pretty good though? I know it'll be a little rougher but it's not bad or anything is it?

With the 275/45/20`s I had to shave a bit of the wheelwell to make them fit on the front.Anything taller and you`ll have more problems.The ride was quite a bit stiffer but I got used to it over time.It did improve the handling.I put 265/70/18`s on my '06 for the more plush ride.The question you have to ask yourself is,What price am I willing to pay for coolness?

yeh tru dat, its all about the price you wanna pay! and steer clear of potholes. haha. i know a girl who lived in new orleans and she drove over a pothole and cracked her brother's rim. she would never ever drive my car again if i were him. but i have driven through some shallow holes and i havent had a blow out yet. and driven over some speed bumps like they werent there and first set of tires are still sittin pretty. and when ya gonna let me drive ur x around the block shadow? haha

fell off on the trail!

ooooooooohhhhhhhhh!!!

Yea there's not a street down here without potholes and crap everywhere, but if it's something I gotta worry about like if I can't even drive through it normally without screwin up my rims or tires or w e or if I'm on regular streets n it makes the ride rough as hell and uncomfortable, then I'll just go to 18's. but is it that bad of a ride with being rough and everything?

n is it that big of a difference going from the 20's to the 18's with the ride and everything? worth keeping the 20's or worth moving to 18's?

Much smoother ride with the 18`s.There was a noticeable difference when I went from stock to the 20`s.They do look great though.I doubt you`ll ruin any tires or rims with the 20`s but you will feel the different ride.

Nice wheels.I`ve got them on the JK.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/SHADOWSE/DSC00020.jpg

I love the muddy X and the sparkling clean wheels!! Now that's what I call driving :)

haha, SHADOW... love how the "SE" badge is closely followed with a red "X"..

twest, I def think it will end up being the 18's now. The 20's look great, but if the uncomfortable ride n everything is not worth having the 20's, then I'll just get the 18's. I understand I will "feel and notice" the new ride with 20's but do you regret having the rougher ride for them or glad you went with 18's? Aside from just the looks, do the 18's feel smoother driving and more comfortable?

thats understood. i guess if our roads were bad here i wouldve went with a smaller set but our main streets have been redone over the past 2 yrs. but when you get 'em you know you gotta show us.

Yea, I'll definitely take some pics of it n post them on here. btw, what is the biggest or best tire size I can fit with the 18's? I think the biggest diameter I can have is like 31.5 in. but I'm not positive

well i used the tire calculator, and im pretty sure i used it right. but the biggest you could go is 235/60 on the tire. i used it based on my tire diameter and everything but for 18s thats as big as i would recommend because its like i said before i had to do a little bit of cutting to turn without the tires rubbing.

thanks again twest

33/12.5/17 Pro-Comp MT on stock S/C rims

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h27/soccerbrace/233587470-S.jpg

luv those rims.the nicest looking rims to get on a vehicle stock.

I want to go wider then my stock rims, and I want them to "stick out" alittle on the sides to help me get through the soft sand on the beach. Im running 32's on it now w/ the stock rim. Should I go with a wheel thats 16 x 8's ? what backspacing/offset will do that for me?

me personally i would add a set of wheel spacers to make it stick out a little further... ricer-x runs 1.5" spacers to give a added 3" stance...

I have never heard anything good about spacers though, plus it's not going to put more rubber down, Its just going to move the tire out.

adding a wider rim without putting wider tires isnt going to help either and besides with a stock rim you can go up to 12.5-13" wide tires and should not have a problem.. and all the bad things you heard about the spacers were prob about the ones that use the same studs to mount the spacer and the tire... on ricers it has a set of studs for the spacer and another for the rims...

your right about that, wider rim means nothing w/o the wider tire...very true...looks like its time to go up to the 285's

i never recognize james' truck anymore on posts......

since it looks NOTHING like that anymore.

i know i cant wait till he posts the next pics of how it it going on his build...

he blew his load on the cooling system. i must admit though- it's quite impressive.

Man that is a tuff looking X but does it rub when it flexes on hill climbs and stuff?

Thanks guys glad you like it. I just finished installing the lift and I am now fine tuning it. I have to trim a little more on the front plastic because it does rub a little while turning and then I have to trim some in the rear which is going to be the trickier part. I took it on a pretty good trail to test it out and it didnt rub while climbing the hill while going over the rocks. I havent fully flexed it yet to see how much it rubs but I will test that when I do the rest of my trimming.

Here`s a few of my X.

sorry to burst your bubble but i got the same exact rims on my x but they are 22s and i bolted them right on from tirerack

so very true a lot of times if you dont do it right it'll end up ripping the bead and we have to get you a new tire... oh and if you come in to our shop.. ur getting weights on the inside.. especially if theres no lip on the outisde

Im running 33x12.5r15 wrangler mt/r with 4.5" backspacing which makes them stick out
That's a very nice X, man! I like how the tires stick out, would like to do something similar on mine, except I only have 3'' SL and no BL. Even though, I only have 32'', I think without a BL they will rub really bad with that backspacing.

Ya they probably will rub. Im having some major rub issues mainly in the front which is an easy fix. On the back I need to try and evaluate my options. Thanks for the compliment!

My wife says that size does not matter, it is how you read the terrain.
