Fitting 33’s (285/70/17) on Stock Frontier Pro4x - 3rd Gen Frontier

[@FrankSanchez-ej3sj]

Well I got my tires on my Nissan Frontier pro4x chose the K2s Firestone all weather 285/70/17 on stock Nissan rims truck 1:00 was lifted 4” front and 21/2” rear looks level tires fit perfect no rub no mud flaps, you motivated me thanks!

[@jacobharlow9301]

In order to get certain lifts they were telling me I needed 18 inch rims atleast for the new hardware. Is that true or is that just for professionally done lifts not do it at home type of lift?

[@SgtMil496]

Awesome video bro! You explained everything to a T. I feel like I could be a tire tech now! Good stuff and keep up the good work!

[@MJAltairy]

Ha! Nice! Appreciate the feedback and support!

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

I just ordered a 2in koni lift kit from all dogs off-road i want to put the same size tires on my 2nd gen sv this video has gave me more confidence for doing it now

[@cheddarmac7935]

Hey, have you do your lift kit? And if you have. Did you have any rubbing issue with the 285/70R17?

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

@@cheddarmac7935 I ended up getting the Bilstein 5100 kit with their uca's and I have 285/75r16 tires on now. And yes I had minor rubbing so I I did cut maybe a half inch of metal of where my tire rubbed at full lock and I did the melt mod and I have no rubbing at all. It only rubbed when I had my tires turned at full lock though but I do take my truck on trails so the cutting was necessary for when my tires get stuffed in the wheel wells.

[@cheddarmac7935]

@@thedude828-ed2nn Thank you for the reply. This information you gave me helps me. I am think of going with the 285/70r17 on my truck. But was wondering if I had to cut and met mod.

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

@@cheddarmac7935 no problem hope it helps the cutting is in the wheel well like on the inside so nobody would ever notice it.

[@FrankSanchez-ej3sj]

Looks really great even stock but with tire changes even better hope to see it lifted soon as I have same exact Nissan truck mine is lifted but haven’t bought the tires just yet so “I can just imagine” Great truck Great song! Thanks!

[@johnnydawson9710]

Thanks for the video! This is probably the tire size I'm going to go with.

[@MegaZach98]

Wait until it snows if you’ve never owned these tires you are going to be in for a surprise they are amazing I’ve gone up down hills foot of snow no problem don’t over inflate

[@MJAltairy]

Glad to hear this! Will share this comment with my buddy who owns this car. Thanks for the input!

[@courgettee]

except your wheel well is going to be full of snow

[@tai1704]

Thank you for this video! I just bought NISMO's suspension lift for my 2023 Pro4X and I was wondering if I could go with 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks!

[@Idahodeerslayer]

I just tried to have that exact tire put on my 23 pro 4x with nissmo 3 inch lift and they don’t fit. They rub on the wheel well on level ground. How did you do with yours?

[@TheDigydice]

My boy Drew livin his best life 🤟

[@mafosa9563]

milage? and did you recalibrate the odometer (shift points)?

[@dn2610]

Awesome video! I think 275/70/17 would've been a better size without any modifications. Thanks for sharing!

[@swiftusmaximus5651]

it needs a 2-3'' lift or those tires will be rubbin on every speed bump and off road all the time

[@rickwhitfield7617]

The problem is that 275 70 17s are all LT commercial hard rubber load tires. They cost way more and the ride quality goes to shit. Otherwise, I agree... but mainly because those 7.5 inch OEM rims are not a good setup for 285s IMO. Between the rubbing risks and popping a bead on the trail under stress I will pass.

[@stephengalaso9841]

@@rickwhitfield7617 yep. I was gonna say that too. not worth it. Unless all you care about Is looks

[@timjones6637]

How was gas mileage??

[@doelsantiago6235]

All that is missing is the 1.5 lift kit and it's perfect for me.

[@richardsanchez9657]

I have seeing some videos that with a Heat Blower you can push In’ the part that is making contact with the tire..

[@george_KC1TQF]

Thanks for the very informative video. I have a set of 285/75/16 that I had on my 2021 SV with minor rubbing on stock suspension with mud flaps removed. I just signed for a 2024 SV today and plan on running the same tire and wheel combination on the new truck. The only difference between the size you put on and the size I have is 0.1" in diameter difference. I noticed a difference in wheel well size between the 2nd gen. and the 3rd gen. The 3rd gen. has a larger clearance on the front as compared to the 2nd gen. Hopefully I won't have any rubbing issues once I take delivery of the new truck.

[@Gmny1MOA]

Mine just rubbed today on a bump when i was turning in on the mud flap and I have the factory size 265 70r17 Kanati mud hogs

[@Meanderthal-Adventures]

Noticed while you were working on the first wheel, and taking off the clip style weight, that the wheel has tape weights too.

[@MJAltairy]

Yes thats very normal. It’s one of the techniques of wheel balancing. You can either use stick on weights near the lip or the clip on weights on the lip. I think it’s called “dynamic” wheel balancing

[@CPScott16]

Is there no requirement to trim because the stock wheels aren't as offset as aftermarket wheels? I am installing an RCkilla lift from ADO today and in the next few days want to install 285/70r17s. Don't mind heat gun, but do not want to trim.

[@ricardovillarreal9107]

Me too! Im on the same situation! Ordered the rckilla and want to put 33s but dont want to violate the truck its new haha , it has 2,500 miles

[@myplaxismodelisbetterthanyours]

Thats pretty wild that they fit. Ill be taking my mudflaps off anyways because i worry more about them getting hooked on rocks and breaking other stuff.

[@MJAltairy]

Yeah i was expecting them to be more “stuffed.” He is planning for a level or lift kit here pretty soon though.

[@juliotexas3354]

Gracias por hacer este video estoy a punto de comprarle llantas a mi frontier y necesitaba saber si puedo ponerle unas llantas mas grandes sin modificar mi camioneta muy completo tu video tambien por revisar la velocidad que marca el velocimetro muy buen video.

[@chvnnin]

Dope video man!

[@SonOfTheMustardTiger1]

I have the Koni 2” lift kit on my 3rd Gen pro 4x and I’m getting the new Wildpeak AT/4W’s in 285/70/17 put on in a couple weeks. I have stock wheels and stock UCA’s. Hoping based off this video that I should be alright.

[@Hardtimes330]

Did you get it installed? How does it look? Rubbing?

[@michaelmejias593]

I want to know roo

[@garym51124]

Update?

[@ihcnehc]

So you gained ~0.55" ground clerance with 33s? Would lifting the truck by 1.5" help mitigate the rubbing issue??

[@MJAltairy]

Absolutely

[@PRO4XKEV]

OEM Frontier wheels for the 17's are 7.5" wide. +30 offset.

[@stephengalaso9841]

Nice video. I have the same exact truck, and I decided to go with the 1" leveling kit just in the front. I am concerned with rubbing and I don't wanna remove the mud flap. any regrets on going with the larger size? I'm about to replace my tires and I can't decide

[@robertwoodward3012]

Your gonna have different speeds with the bigger tire. I installed a rough country speedometer calibrator behind the gauge cluster as a fix. But you might be able to use the ecutech level 1 chip as well. So you know.

[@drewolm]

A little lift in that thing and it’s gonna look great. I’ve got f250 and I’m constantly thinking about downsizing. If I did the Nissan would be it. I just wish they had a bigger gas tank. Once you put a bigger tire on these the gas mileage is about the same as my gas 250.

[@TravisFranklin-wd3rc]

My 23 pro4x gets near 500 miles a tank stock

[@Nazim-u9w]

Great video bro.

[@greensandbeansgaming1358]

how much did it alter your speedometer? It doesn't look a whole lot different.

[@johntexan4165]

I guarantee you'll have rubbing while moving over bumps... had the same issue with my Xterra Pro-4x. 2" lift will easily take care of it. Plus, it'll give you the much needed entry that is desperately needed.

[@Jerlemi2]

ill be putting 275s on mine. ill pass on all of the rubbing.

[@HenryCalderonJr]

Agreed 👍🏼

[@erichritz8633]

Lift it it's a truck!

[@taserface9073]

I have 275s on my SL and no rubbing.

[@taserface9073]

I’ve got 275s on my 2011 Frontier and never have had an issue. I don’t want to pay for a lift and I don’t do hard core stuff. Tires work great for me.

[@xisotopex]

what size aftermarket rims are an exact replacement for the oem, or rather, instead of someone looking it up for me, please explain how to tell? thanks

[@MJAltairy]

I would personally recommend a 17x9 wheel with 0mm offset. A good site that I like to use is wheelpros.com for my wheels. You can also give them a call and they can help guide you to the right fitment you're looking for.

[@rickwhitfield7617]

Love those TOYOS, but isnt a 33 setup of 285 70 17 truly pushing the limits of those OEM 7.5 inch rims?

[@FLAKO1982]

Should of notched the mud flaps

[@xisotopex]

will this larger tire hit the top of the wheel well during extreme suspension travel/compression?

[@MJAltairy]

we took it wheeling a few times before he got it lifted and it did fine with 0 rubbing with the mud flaps removed.

[@ryanneuberger9171]

The bigger tires make the truck look much better.

[@TheSouthPaw]

Do they rub when turning over a bump?

[@MJAltairy]

Nope, even went offroading last weekend with no rubbing according to him.

[@bobdole7701]

I think if you just cut the inside lip on the mud flap you could retain it...

[@fbinseofficial]

hello, we have an amazing product(carplay android box) that I think would be a perfect fit for a car. Would you be open to the idea of creating a video showcasing our product?

[@mclcr4053]

I ran two sets of Toyo ATs. Horrible in the mud!

[@yortchylanissancita3583]

I have Titan swap four inch lift and get rubbing on inside hmm

[@MJAltairy]

With 285’s? Whats the offset of your wheels and what UCA’s are you running?

[@TheSouthPaw]

Offset is your enemy on the Frontier, need to be +30mm, any more negative will rub you, even with the Titan swap.

[@erichritz8633]

The titan swap pushes the tires out which increases rubbing,I have a 3" lift no rubbing but I'm doing a titan swap so I ordered 2" wheel spacers found 4 for the price of 2 added the backs fine then added the fronts temporarily just to see the extra width but got rubbing on allready notched fenders,waiting to do the T-swap with 1 1/2 " more lift to see if I have to trim more, I bought carbon coil overs and rear resi shocks they look awesome can't wait to try them out

[@mp211204]

That’s gonna rub a lot on the trails bro

[@MJAltairy]

The few time we took it wheeling on some medium rated trails, never rubbed once with the front mud flaps removed. We did end up throwing a kona lift kit on it though and he's got tons of clearance now.

[@johnsilver7150]

Not enough clearance.

[@onefastcyclist]

People that DO take these off-road add 33's with a 2" lift and trim and heat modify the liner to keep them from rubbing on a bumpy trail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIi7hYppfrCDp7s&lc=UgyRf1SyK7zpK7lr7s94AaABAg I tow a teardrop with my PRO4X with an Old Man Emu lift which is 2" front and 3" rear - it sets level with the 298lb tung weight of the tear drop. A leveling kit is the LAST thing your customer needs and YES I know what I'm talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYm6dqOjoNOZatk

[@courgettee]

why bother with a slightly bigger tire just to have to remove mudflaps - kind of ridiculous

[@erichritz8633]

Some people just don't get it, my stock frontier felt like a car,3" lift with exhaust and mud tires turned it into a capable truck,that looks bitchin,I made it my own,and I don't miss the anemic front mud flaps

[@MJAltairy]

@@erichritz8633gets it!

I believe this one it’s the 4th Generation of Frontier’s .. not 3rd…

[@taserface9073]

This is the third gen. The hard body D21 is not considered a frontier. My 2011 is a second gen or a D40. This new one is a D41.

[@cmr7217]

Dont go offroad with that setup :)

[@MJAltairy]

Already did and performed great for all the trails we hit! Only issue was his side steps rubbing here and there but tires cleared the wheel wells with 0 rubbing.

[@georgepierce720]

I would put that mudflap back and trim it
