What is largest tire on stock R51 with no mods and no rub

Postby Fargo » Tue Feb 25, 2014 1:02 pm

Hi guys. I started doing some reading here shortly before I purchased my 2011 Pathfinder this Dec. Doing some planning ahead, I wanted to know what is the largest tire on stock R51 with no mods and no rubbing? It seems like I saw somewhere the 2005s had a 265/75R16 on an Offroad Package. Did they have any suspension changes on that vehicle?

So let me know what the consesus is for the largest tire without rubbing. Also let me know if you've ever checked it fully stuffed. I don't plan on rock crawling (thats what the Jeep LJ is for) but I want the clearance in case I do have to do some crawling at some point.

I ran the 285-70-17s for a few weeks before I installed the lift. had to hit the fender liners with a heat gun and push them back a bit. after that, no rubbing at full turn. didn't really flex at all, so I couldn't really tell you how much travel you'd have before rubbing
