Hi all new here
Just curious what is the largest tires you can install on an 05 xterra with no lift and 17" rims
thanks
Depends on what you are going to use the tires for, like just street, rocks, sand, mud, etc...no one tire does all of those well, and in a 17" size, even if it might fit numerically, there may be no such thing as a tire in that size.
Generally, as the OR comes with a 32" tire from the factory (265/75/16), a 17" version would be 265/70/17...so a 285/70/17 would be an easy upgrade, and for some new X's, require no mods, or maybe using a blow dryer to shrink back bulking wheel well liner plastic, etc.
:D
What bias do you need for the tires, more to on, or off, road, and what terrain?
:D

mud mainly was thinking of 287/70/17s
So, 285/70/17's for mud...
MT/R's or BFG MT's probably.
:D

BFG MTs or ATs are an excellent tire, they wear well for highway driving and perform as well offroad!!
Yeah, I run the BFG AT ko's.
