And Discount Tire didn't balk at fitting those on the stock wheels?

NVSteve

One other thing, did you have the new tires mounted on the stock wheels? I know the stock wheels are 7", but the 285's require 7.5". Blink mentioned it shouldn't be a problem at all, as he has seen far worse, but I'd like to get your input since I think you are running the 7" wheels. ...

it might be cheaper to go to a body/paint shop and have them paint it the color you want vs. buying it from dealership. from dealership it probably not painted and they will do the same as have their local body shop paint it. good luck. take some pics and show us the results. I'm betting you could ...

NVSteve

Looks great, Carl. I'd definitely like to see some photos of the heat gun/dremel work whenever you get to it. I'm kind of on the fence about getting the 285s or not, so your results might just persuade me one way or the other. The only other question I have for you is if you could possibly keep an e...

Now, the truck seems a lot more stable, and drives even better. Now I will post my pics with measurements, and feel really good about it. :D Still waiting on those pictures! I need to get a visual of how the mediums look up front, as opposed to the "softer" ones most everyone else got. Ar...

Thanks! Hopefully we'll see some shots from your upcoming trip as well?

I would love to drive up their for a day trip and check out the sights. I climbed Mt. Whitney which is the hi...

Death Valley pictures are posted here: http://www.thenissanpath.com/viewtopic.php?p=1673#1673 They are smaller than I intended, but that is the fault of fotopic, which happens to be my picture host. If you want larger pictures, I've included links at the very bottom of the post that will take you di...

I've been going to Death Valley for the last 22 years now, mostly around the spring break timeframe. The drive from Salt Lake takes me diagonally across Nevada, mostly on highways that nobody uses. Here's my first step onto dirt since I bought my PF in February, right smack in the middle of Nevada i...

7 vs 7.5, in my opinion if you can get into the range specified by the manu your better off if you have liability claims. But if you have a 7 and your supposed to have a 7.5 it will still work. I may just stick to the stock tires & wheels. They don't have anything taller in a 16", only wid...

That shouldn't be a problem. I stuffed a 285/75R17 in there on my 06 with minimal rubbing when the tire was stuffed during turns. The rubbing didn't go away with the OME lift either. Took a while but I found that it would rub on the very bottom/center at the front of the wheel well liner during the...

I just returned from a much needed trip to Death Valley. Aside from getting away, I really wanted to see how the PF handled on highways & freeways, not to mention in the dirt. It's about 530 miles from my house to Death Valley, with at least 10 mountain passes. Altitude ranged from below sea lev...

NVSteve

Ditto. I'd also like to hear some more driving impressions now that a few of you have had the lift on for a while. I'd really like to hear about off road experiences. Even though a small percentage of my yearly travels takes me off road, I need to have a vehicle that will perform at its best when I ...

I checked with the Ebay seller & it would come out to about US$50.00 to buy & have the model shipped. I was pretty close to doing so until I found the size of the thing is only 4.5". I had thought it might be closer to 8".

NVSteve

Still having problems with the VDC? I looked through the service manual at all the sections dealing with it & can't really see a reason why you would be having problems. The only thing I came up with is that it must have something to do with the sensors located in the area of the wheels. That do...
