Great choice on the tires. Looks awesome. Just curious, what is the overall diameter of the wheel/tire and do you notice steering wheel vibration at higher speeds (60-80)? BB

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. I'm happy to be done with this drama. I will say that the pathfinder definitely needs better shocks/struts and steering dampers. Way too sensitive. I'm hoping that someone will come out with both in the near future. That's one bad thing about buying a new mo...

I believe they are Boss 313's with 285/50 r20's. I had problems with them all. The last set finally worked out...but I did have to change the tire from the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's to a street tire. The sidewall stiffness was causing vibration. All in all, the only real difference came when the right ...

Hi all. So, for those of you who read my first story about saving you the hassle and pain that I went through to put custom 20" rims and tires on my 08 se-v8 Path, here is the conclusion to that story (I hope). After writing the last post about this, I thought my nightmare was over. Ha! I was w...

Just a quick question. I have an 08 SE-V8. Has anyone experienced a metallic rattle just behind the driver side dashboard that only occurs intermittently? It is usually at slower speeds on side streets when it happens. I've had it in to the dealer twice now and each time they say they can't hear any...

I'll have pics up by Friday. I'll send them your way. The Moto Metal MO951's are what I've gone with. They are 20" x 9" Chrome. Nice looking wheel. Have a great weekend!!

A while back I posted about ride quality concerns with custom 20" wheels and 285/50's that I had installed and received a lot of great advice. The advice was mainly to go back to the original 18's and call it a day. I've never been good at listening to advice until I've explored all possibiliti...

Hey Billy T. Are you a mechanic? You mention steering dampers and trying to rig the Path for them...is this a long shot or a real possibility? Just curious.

Thanks for the help.

Captain and Billy, I appreciate your help. Will likely go back to aftermarket 18's. It definitely is not a balancing issue as it has been load balanced by the best machine on the market. I have had two different places confirm that the balance is perfect.

Thanks again.

Hi all. I can't help but feel like I have the worst freakin luck with aftermarket wheels and tires..... It took me a while to figure out what wheel and tire combo I wanted to put on my 08 V8 Pathfinder. I remember pulling up to a guy in a 2007 Pathfinder that had 20's and asked how he liked them. He...

Hi all. Thanks to those that provided guidance/advice on the sizing of the tires to go with. I ended-up moving to 20 x 8.5" wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion ATR's 275/55/r20. It rubbed in the front after install, but thanks to RacerZX's suggestion about the heat gun on the fender lining, all is good...

I will take my pathfinder off-road on occasion, but it will mainly be for town and highway driving. I noticed in Carl's original thread about tires and Death Valley (amazing pics btw) that the 285/75r16 were too big..there was a comment that some major cuts would have to take place in order for them...

Birdbath8

Sweet ride! What minor mods did you have to make? Just cuts? Thanks again.

Birdbath8

Sorry in advance if this has already been asked, but I'm looking for some guidance on wheels/tires. Just bought the 08 Pathy V8..totally love it, but would like to change up the wheels/tires from soccer mom to stud. :D I'm torn between putting more aggressive tires (more offroad looking) on the exis...
