Taller Tires for my QX4?

[mario_qx4]

I have the stock P245/70R16 tires on my QX4 and I'd like bigger tires.

Can I put 17, 18, 19 inches or more rims? Recommendations welcomed!

thanks
Mario

you can plus size your QX with no problems here are some tire size selections that will work with no issues
285/55-18
255/65-16
265/50-20
245/65-17
295/45-20
255/60-17

Thanks Luke,

I'm looking for a good offroad tire, either the
- bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO
- or the BF goodrich all-terrain T/A KO

So, for example, a bridgestone Dueler A/T REVO 265/70SR17 will have no trouble fitting ?

Much appreciated!

that size would be a tight fit but would probably work

You know what I'd like to know, the actual overall height difference between sizes, for example:

245/65R17
245/70R16
245/75R16

Which is taller?

I'm sure the calculation is easy, I'll try to find the formula on the net..

Found
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/general/size.htm
which lists all you need to know about tire sizes.

Using their formula, it seems

- 245/65R17 is 29.53" high (2003 models)
- 245/70R16 is 29.50" high (stock)
- 265/75R16 is 31.6" high (what I want)

No how do I know if 31.6" fits on my QX4 ?? Hmm that's 2 inches more... What do you think?
