View Full Version : tire size on 17" SE S/C tire size on 17" SE S/C Mersiles 11-07-2005, 11:52 PM OffroadX 11-08-2005, 09:50 AM 265/70-17 is a nice size, pretty much a 32x10.50. It'll fit with little to no accomodation needed. Mersiles 11-08-2005, 02:55 PM 265/70-17 is a nice size, pretty much a 32x10.50. It'll fit with little to no accomodation needed. so a 33" is too big then? OffroadX 11-08-2005, 03:08 PM 285/70-17 would be a 33x11.50 but you said you didn't want huge, just a big bigger than stock. Expect a fair bit of trimming. Mersiles 11-08-2005, 03:38 PM 285/70-17 would be a 33x11.50 but you said you didn't want huge, just a big bigger than stock.

OffroadX 11-08-2005, 09:38 PM Anything over 32" is "big" for an Xterra ;) There's a guy running 36" tires w/ the same gears and a non-supercharged engine, and a few others running 35" tires. Re-gearing is highly recommended for 35s, but you can manage 33s with stock gearing without much suffering. Related Links Participate in thousands of discussions at AutomotiveForums.com!
