Here is my base 2 door. 2 inch level lift custom 17x8 wheelsmith wheels and 285/70/17 tires. Getting the top painted white next week

I love seeing these kinds of style mods, better looking imo and way more fun than ordering a higher trim package!

Nice looking rig. Did you paint the beauty rings yourself? If so, what did you use?

No...got a buddy with a powder coating shop. They turned out real nice. I got them done for free...but he said retail he'd only be at like $80 for the set....totally the way to go.

Coming from someplace that has measurable snowfall each year, I couldn't disagree more. Open diffs are a no-go here, unless you're a city dweller, or retired. It's a shame it didn't come with a limited slip in the rear. 3 extra inches of clearance and 4 wheels spinning for the win.........

this.

The extra $ is absolutely worth every penny, and guess what, it's installed straight from the factory

What about the grill, white??

Yes white grill. But I am going to body color the outside of the grill and do white in the middle part to shrink down the size of white.

oops, double post.

My first thought when these were released was bright blue with white rims, grill and top. I think it's a great look!

Budget bronco guy did full grill in white and I thought it looked good!
I would have kept letters black though.

I put 33’s (Falken Wildpeak 285/75R16) on mine and they fit just great and look WAY better than stock. I went to americas tire and they were pretty skeptical but after their rub test they felt confident to put on all four and they’ve been great, already a lil over 1000 miles in. I kept the base steelies for now. Planning to upgrade in the future to 35s after I can get a lift and 17” wheels.

Looks killer! Some pretty cool replacement wheels in here, but I really dig the steelies especially with the bigger/more aggressive tires. Bit of a nod to the retro. Enjoy it.

base steel wheel specs
16x7 +55mm offset, 6x139.7 lugs, 93.1mm center bore

nissan spare wheel specs
16x7 +40mm offset, 6x139.7 lugs, 100.3mm center bore

I'll need to order 100.3mm -> 93.1mm hub centric rings, otherwise everything should be good to go. Pic shows stock wheel/tire on the left, nissan wheel/235 tire on the right

profile of the 235/85R16 tire (on a diff vehicle)

and the reason the wagon wheel tugs on my heart strings... my first truck

I have run 2 sets of 235 85 R16 (235 80R17 currently) on my first gen xterras

its such a great tire size for most things. Waiting on my bronco to arrive so will have the xterra another year maybe
