The tires on a stock 2001 SE (16" wheels) are only 29.05" in diameter (255/65R16).

2000 model SE's and XE's (and 2001 XE's) with Utility Packages are 29.6" in diameter (265/70R15).

A 2000 without the goodies are a measily 27.95" in diameter (235/70R15).

The 2002 SC will get 265/65R17 tires on it, which are 30.5" in diameter.

Non-Supercharged models will get 265/70R16's at 30.6", the biggest yet (same as a 31" BFG All Terrain).

Nope, I botched the 48.1 bit, it was 2.9 miles short, 5.8% off.

So if you put bigger tires on your X then your actual milage on the odometer would be less... yeah, thats a good thing for resale value...
That is in no way that I am every gonna sell it... not till the wheels fall off.

With my Trxus tires, I'm about +3mph than the odo.

Whats up every one?

I've got 33x12.50 pro-comp muds on my '00 x and i love em! i didn't notice much of a power loss but i've got a custom air intake and dual exhaust. my mpg has also stayed about the the same. my spedo is about 8mph off but i can live with that. i've never towed anything so i don't know how it would handle that. i've got the 5spd and it is actually pretty quick off the line.

You have a 2WD Xterra at Sea Level.
Big difference (about 500 lbs) between that and my 4WD at 5000 feet.

I have to think that you get some rubbing on the fender lips at the rear with those, provided you have put much flex on your rig with 'em anyway. My 32x11.50 tires barely clear the fender lip on the front half of my rear wells. I took some pics yesterday that I'll post...

Brent

OffroadX,

Wouldn't the rubbing be on the rear half of the front wells and not on the front half of the rear wells? actually i do not rub there or anywhere for that matter. i've got 3" susp, 3" body, 1 1/2" shackles and t-bar adjustments. i have done some trimming, but nothing extensive. as for flex, i have tweaked and twisted my X to the limits. just cause shes 2wd doesn't mean i don't work her hard. i hit the trails at least once a week.
is your X lifted or are you stock? did you post your pics yet, i want to see them?

See-Ya

Here are the pix:





That's where I figure you can't do much more than 11.50" wide. The front fenders should be able to take it as far as pure stuffing, but there would be still more of an issue with rubbing when turning. It's about 50/50 diameter and width contributing up front.

Your lift probably doesn't let the tire stuff far enough into the wells to be an issue anymore. Do you have your rear swaybar on? I don't.

OffroadX, what mods (if any) have you done to your suspension? I'm thinking about going with the 32"x11.5" BFG A/T's as well...
Oh yeah, do those fit where the spare goes?

for the 32s, you will have to trim some plastic in the front wheel wells, and adjust the torsion bars a little higher. a howto is here .

and the other question would be, are the front sway bars on. the fronts will rub WAY more than the rears if this were the case. if the front sway bars are disconnected and the front wheels are turned and under heavy compression, this is there that would be issue.

No mods other than the missing rear swaybar. The only problem (after trimming and t-bar adjustment) that you will encounter with 32s is some mild rubbing inside the RR wheelwell where the plastic covers the fuel filler line when you are at max compression (like in the pic) but it's not too bad. My plastic cover is split in half but still manages to stay in place. If you keep your swaybar on I doubt you would get enough flex for it to be a problem in the first place.
As for the spare well, as I recall it will fit if you don't have a hitch, but I don't recall if it can be wrangled to fit along with a hitch.
