how big of a wheel/tire combo will fit under an r51? i'm going up to a 285-70-17 tire and was just curious if the spare will still fit underneath

Was wondering this myself. I had a 285/75-16 under my '06 Xterra for a little while, but not sure if it'd fit under the pathy or not

I'm thinking my 325 65 18 will be a touch much. The 295 65 18 looked like it might when I had them on, but never verified.

Keep in mind, the wider you go, the worse your departure angle will be and you risk popping it depending on the terrain you're navigating.

If you want it before Thanksgiving you'd better order it tomorrow.

Ordered my front bumper March 30, it showed up last Friday.

I understand the work that goes into them in fact other front bumper manufacturers aren't even taking new orders because they're so swamped.

Ever think about something like this?

Comparable in price to the TAG though, unfortunately.

Have you tried the 295 in the stock place?

The 285's seem to fit without a problem.
