I have aftermarket 17in rims with negative offset. 265 70 R17 tires fit without rubbing against the chassis as the wheels stick out a bit due to the negative offset. They also make your truck look good
Thanks bro! I have been wow off grid with my nav, didnt even know how to change a tyre yet. Now I'm looking at some tyres with slightly larger radius then the 31's i believe I have now. Guess ill be getting a lift too.
Never bad idea to get a lift. Just heads up you will never get a lift like you can on other models Fourbies as the navs just designed to be low for some stupid reason but 265/70r16 or 265/70r17 are bother great sizes when paired with a 50mm lift kit.
Running 35/12.5 R17 on 18" rims. Has 3-4" adjustable coils in the front and a 2" spring lift in the rear. Tires rub on full lock, but otherwise no other contact issues. (CV's will hate your guts tho! 😂)
You will get some scrubbing if don't have a bull bar with be worse with factory mine are more 32 and abit with 2inch lift she just missed the chassis but if had 33 Def's svrub
Would that be the same for a pathfinder r51? Looking at going 255 myself given I bought the car with 265, wheel shop said it was slightly wider when fitting the spare. Thanks in advance.
It's interesting how each car can ride different some fit tyres perfectly while others don't. After chatting so some suspension blokes they said it can depend on factory manufacturing to how tired the suspension can be my utes low KMs so the suspension still pretty firm so have less play compared to those with over 300k on the clock. Even with them on so long she still rubs but not a huge issue still saving for the lift kit gonna take me awhile.
@@j01HUNTER it depends the width and the offset (ET) of the wheel. The more positive, the more your tires will poke in and the more the tires will be closer to the suspension or chasis. Currently I'm using 7 inch wide of OEM 2019 NP300 wheels that have offset +45 with 265/65/18 without any suspension-lift or body-lift.
@@ahmadsilmarillion9984 oh that makes sense I use factory wheels as can see from video which are a 0 offset have thought of replacing the rims but it's hard to find anything different were I live as you well swear of the shitty stuff Patten only navs use so many don't stock rims for them.
@@j01HUNTER if you're using 0 offset, it means your wheels poke out 45 mm more than mines, so it wouldn't rubb inner chasis but it might rub your side fender. Navara 6x114 PCD is only used by Nissan Navara and Terra so it is difficult to find.
@@ahmadsilmarillion9984 yea the stock 17inch is 0 offset yet still rubs on the chassis others don't have the same issue but Spain built D40 come standard with 0 offset in a 17inch rim the 16 usually came out with steely rims idk the offset on them but Im sure they were 0 as well.
I mean it's not legal but that be the max before things start to breaks U will loose power and use more fuel but tbh it's all up to you I found 32inc tyres and 2 inch lift I can get pretty much anywhere besides then crazy stuff.
Yeah i understand its not legal and thats ok. Lets be realistic, doing all this to the D40 is what puts it up to par with other utes on their STOCK sus... lol@@j01HUNTER
That was the issue heaps said 17 would fit no issue but I reckon they all had 16 inch wheels so I wasn't as lucky not a huge deal tho as it only rub on full lock so just going to bide my time to lift her.
@@twinversbr It would also depend on the type of tire. For example, a 265/70/17 Mud Terrain tires with larger treads will be noticeably bigger than Highway Terrain or All-Terrain tires of the same size but with smaller treads.
Mine rubs on the front bumper edge and wheel arch liner behind the front bumper when I put on my nobbley off road tyres (265/70/17) on 17” x 8” steel rims with slightly deeper offset, gonna have to mess about with the liner tub, anyone got any good advice ?
I did notice she was ever so slightly taller and when lift kit was installed more notable but she rides very comfortable as it was only one size up from stock.
I think it's because each ute out of the factory is slightly different. Then you have factors like what wheel alignment for what tyres you have, has your car been in a crash. Then there's the year and what country was it built in. These are the only things I can think of why it's different for each person.

I put 285/70/16 on my d40 with a 2inch lift just need to do my camber adjustment now

Love the send it mods hahah 😁
How do you rekon 33s with a 2 inch lift would go, that’s what I’m thinking of doing otherwise I’ll just get 32s as I already have the lift
You will get some scrubbing if don't have a bull bar with be worse with factory mine are more 32 and abit with 2inch lift she just missed the chassis but if had 33 Def's svrub
If you get a rim with. P30 offsets No rubbing and no lift required
I'm running 285s 17s on my pathfinder with a 2" chassis lift
How do U find the power loss she pretty sluggish hish it not too ba?
@@j01HUNTER yh it's not too bad but I'm also running a custom made steel roof rack and my trucks average fuel is around 25 - 26 mpg now
I've got 255 75 r17 on mine at factory height which is 11.1mm bigger with no rubbing issues
Would that be the same for a pathfinder r51? Looking at going 255 myself given I bought the car with 265, wheel shop said it was slightly wider when fitting the spare. Thanks in advance.
Yeah bro I had the same thing with mine .
Wouldn’t a 15-20mm spacer fix the rubbing issue?
Spacers are illegal in South Australia and cops do check regularly. Plus their kinda unsafe
I put 265/65/18 tire on OEM NP300 18 inches wheel to my D40, which is 1,1 mm less overall diameter than your 265/70/17 and I have no rubbing issue.

I have a 2" lift in back with 200kg constant, and currently 2" in front too, but changing to 3.5 soon and I want 16s with 33s. Reckon I'll be good?

Hi do you think 265/70 r18 would be way to big on stock 2014 D40
Yea it definitely would scrub
Mine 265/70/16 is perfect with stock height. Yours 17 so it's touching chasis. 👍
That was the issue heaps said 17 would fit no issue but I reckon they all had 16 inch wheels so I wasn't as lucky not a huge deal tho as it only rub on full lock so just going to bide my time to lift her.
Yea... I'm planning put 275/70/16 on mine soon... guess it's gonna rub on chasis on full lock though no need to melt mod.
Yes true ..mine also use 265/70/16 and its working perfectly..maybe will try 275 soon
I have 265/70/17 on my 08' Frontier with no issues at all. I wonder what the difference is

How did the 2 inch lift work out
Haha still haven't been able to get one 2022 was a financial issue I'm saving for it now however.
Did you notice a difference in the ride comfort?
I did notice she was ever so slightly taller and when lift kit was installed more notable but she rides very comfortable as it was only one size up from stock.
😊
Yeah and to why can't we get a honest answer from anyone , like it's grey area for some reason .😊
