I will be needing some tires soon and want to see some pics of bigger tires or different rims on an 02+ X. I'm not looking for bigger wheels, more of an off-road aggressive look with bigger tires. Just wondering if anybody that has different rims or tried bigger tires has any pics to share.
Thanks
Greg

That looks like my exact truck right down to the ventvisors! Those look like they fill the wheel wells a little better.
I see people saying 265/75/16 will fit, anybody got pics of those? I know I'll go with at least whats shown above for size, but I'd like to see some different rims if anybody has pics.

With 265/75s you will notice quite a power loss. You're going from a 28 or 19 inch tire to a 32 inch. These work out to be 30s on ours. 265s fill it even better. But thats getting a little big.
Metric equivalent of 33's.

BenS, I saw in a previous post by you that there is no rubbing with the 97 X rims you were using. Do you know what the backspacing is on those compared to stock 02X 16" wheels? Also, did you notice much of a decrease in performance?
Thanks

Man, it looks like those would rub like crazy. Doesn't appear to be very much space between the tires and wheelwells at all.

Nobody has put new 16" rims on their 02+?
