Looks good. What else do you have planned?GSX-R35 wrote:Since I've firmly decided to keep my R51 and start doing some upgrades instead of getting an R52 I elected to start off with some snazzier wheels and tires and had them put on just today.
Thanks for the comments. Couldn't reply earlier since I caught a bug and have been busy playing catch up since.staynlean wrote:Looks great, why has no one else commented on this yet?... Awesome upgrade and how do those tires ride? Any vibration or steering wheel shake, loud roar or any thing such, let us know. Good job!
Thanks! I haven't noticed any difference in ride quality at all compared to my old tire/wheel combo. Maybe just a tiny bit more road noise as I mentioned above but the ride and handling feel no different than before - which to me is good since I was really happy with my Pathy before especially considering it's a big body-on-frame SUV.DanJetta wrote:Looks great!
Do you notice a difference in ride quality between the 17s and your old 15s?
I'm thinking I'll slowly add a few more parts like a CAI, exhaust, sliders, airlift kit, and shocks. Beyond that I'm not sure - I like to modify and I'm REALLY intrigued by the Stillen supercharger after seeing the video posted in the main forum - but I already have one car that I sink large amounts of cash into for mods so it's hard for me to make up my mind. My R51s been a reliable ride for so long though that me and my family and friends think it deserves some attention of its own lol.NVSteve wrote:

What swayed you to stick with the R51? I was a passenger in the new Pathfinder last week. I already had 99 nails in that coffin, but my passenger ride added the final nail. Even the guy driving it was bitching about it being a pregnant Murano that got knocked up by a minivan.
Thanks for the compliment. As I mentioned in the previous replies, I've had little time yet with my new wheels and tires for various reasons but so far I have no complaints. They feel just as comfy as my old tires and wheels with only a skooch more road noise...maybe.nismofan wrote:Nice wheel/tire combo! How's the road performance of Rugged Terrains? Need to replace my tires soon.
