97 SE max tire size using stock rims with 1.75" front l

Postby MountainMan97 » Tue May 26, 2015 3:54 am

97 SE 1.75" front lift, stock rims.
What is the max tire size using stock rims with the Old Man EMU 1.75" front lift? Currently I have p265/70R15's but cannot find and aggressive tread tire in this size. Considering 31x9.5x15 or 31x10.5x15 but I am concerned about clearance of the front coil saddle etc.
I don't want to do any cutting on the vehicle.

I use the 31 -10.5 - 15 with 1" wheel spacers. Before I installed the spacers I ran the 31s and the only clearance issue I had was the wheel rubbing the frame on a stop to stop turn.

Lifted?

IS your Pathfinder or was it lifted in the front?

Yes, I had the 2" lift kit from 4x4 parts in Pompano. I was running the 31 tires before and after the lift. I got rid of that lift kit on the front because it was nothing more than stiffer springs. I went with the nylon spacers for the upper mount from 4x4 design out of Canada. Basically I was running the 31s before and after the lift and before and after the wheel spacers.

Sounds Good

I am installing the Old Man Emu HD front springs for about that amount of lift. I'd like to retain the stock rim offset and look. I guess the next step is to have them put 31's on the the front after the lift and check for clearances.

Thanks for the input
