Will 285/70/17 fit on a 2023 Frontier? 

Appreciate you 🫵🏼 man. These are some dope lookin trucks! Thanks for watchin, I’ll have more soon.

Thanks a lot bro!

Thank you for watching!

@@peterfelts thank you for watching brother

Thanks iggy!

Hell yea. 😆 Thwg!

@@TheAdamConners Best time of the year ain’t it. It was 57 degrees at 8:30 this morning. Dadgum coffee tasted better on the back porch!

@@9MilNorm yes it has! About as perfect as you can get. Way better than that crap we had in August.

I love a true bronze colored wheel

With my tires I went up a total of 4”.

I have some time off coming up and I plan on getting the heat gun out and having some fun with that.

I’ve considered that, but the fender liner is rather thin. It just doesn’t look like there is enough material to even make a dent and then there’s sheet metal behind it.

The fender liner is not backed by sheet metal as I thought. There’s tons of room behind there. Saw a frontier with the fenders cut out at Home Depot yesterday. I’m going to try the heat gun method.

@TheAdamConners Awesome, can't wait for the video??

@@-Dwight-Schrute we will see. 😅

Weight isn’t anything crazy. It’s less weight than carrying a passenger. The oversized tires will cause odometer and trip meter to be off -10%. And also they rub. Period. Going to have to slightly modify front mud flap and rear fender liner.

Thanks, Brian. You gonna get some new shoes on yours?

@@TheAdamConners Not anytime soon . Too many bills I just ordered a nice bed cover though. I love the tires , rims , and not too drastic lift you installed

@@briansullivan1621 nice. thanks buddy 👍🏽

Any lift/leveling kit will help with clearance. 3” would probably completely fix the tire contact on the fender liner

Hi ! Just got my 2024 Pro 4X. This is the same set up i'm looking for. Same tire size and same size Black Rhino Rapid wheels. Was it a big job to trim the pinch welds ? And sorry what's the "melt mod " ? Thank you.

@user-wj1vq4tq6c not big at all. I used a oscillating tool (multi tool) with a metal blade to trim the pinch weld. It's this very tiny piece of metal behind where the mud flaps sits. Melt mod is when you heat the inner fender and push it back with something like a wood. You're basically creating more space by reshaping the black plastic trim. Don't pay someone to do it try it for yourself. Maybe come spring time I'll post a video on my RU-vid to show the current setup of my frontier and how to install the offroad gorilla rear differential breather kit. This kit is a must install since the rear differential of these frontiers are known to blow the seals and cause a slow leak or even destroy your rear diff overtime if the breather valve is clogged.

@@D41Pat Thank’s for the info. Merry Christmas.

I trimmed them about 1 inch yesterday. It is a clean line and you can’t see it from the front. No more scrubbing

@@TheAdamConners Nice! I will keep that in mind.

@@minjin0259 I will post something on ig for reference.

Yes that’s correct. Appreciate you tuning in Justin 🤙🏽

It seems only the outside of each tire is rubbing so possibly. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe a 275/70 or even a lower offset could work. These wheels are +18 offset btw.

275/70 will give you less headaches. You absolutely will have to modify the fender liners with a 285/70

@@overland_cam These mudflaps are going nowhere

@@TheAdamConners whyyyy haha

Rough country 2.5”

Thanks 🙏🏼. Motegi Trailite

Have you mess with a heat gun before?

@@gman9353 seems to me the consensus is most people are going to remove mudflaps and possibly cut into plastic fender liner. The rest are going to heat it up with a heat gun and reform it.

Thanks, I think so too!

None. It was only +.5 on camber.

I don't know enough about oem offsets or my current setup, but the tire size with that lift checks out to me.

I don’t regret the 285 one bit. But I was doing 7 point turns for a min lol. If you don’t wanna hear that tire contact, then perhaps 275 would be best for you. The heat gun method also seems to be accepted for for fender liners.

Nope

Well, where were you 6 months ago pal? 😆

@@TheAdamConners Research is your friend, best done before you make an expensive purchase.

@@dlg5485 just messin with ya. Rubbing is only a problem if you let it stay a problem.

Nope

Old are 17x7 wheels. 265/65 tires New are 17x8.5 wheels. 285/70 tires

The alignment technician said it was due to the toe being out actually. The camber was only +.5 on one side and +.6 the other. Toe was corrected 2 days after new tires. I also just had it aligned last week. Said everything was still good. Camber +.5* each side.

And thanks for watching bro!

Good to know. I'm doing some camber measurements before I do the rough country spacers and my numbers are close to what you mentioned !..I had a .5 degree negative difference with the 2.5im spacer

TheAdamConners did you have to buy longer upper control arms for front end alignment? I seen on another channel about coil bucket contact also?

@@jeffreymcdaniel9714 no. That is the next video I’ll do though.

Yes pretty incredible the wheel wells are so small given everyone puts aftermarket wheels and tires on their vehicles now. 🤔

the only downside to removing mud flaps with agressive tread tires is they help catch rocks that get cought in the tread when they fling out on the freeway ,,and hope they dont crack the driver behind you, windshield..i try to keep them on with a/t or offroad tires if possible for that reason..i guess they could be called "insurance claim" guards....lol

No way! 😝

I absolutely detest the transmission. I miss the 6 speed my 06 frontier had, but I’d be happy with a 6 speed auto. This 9 speed is horrible. And I am also convinced that’s why the fuel mileage is so atrocious.

@@TheAdamConners yeah says 24 to the gallon I'm avg 18.4 wtf 🤬

@@Trump2024musthappen LIES!! 😂👌🏼

It was shit before and its the same :) I avg 19 now.

Honestly, I cannot remember that. I just checked on the inside of the rim and I don’t see a zero or an 18. Let me see if I can hunt that down for you.

Appears +18 offset. It’s the immediate thing that popped up in my browser. And I trust that cause I went to that specific page about 400 times before I purchased.

@@TheAdamConners thanks bro!

Alignment was done 2 days after wheel install… But help me understand the heat gun. 🤔

​@@TheAdamConners that's another frontier thing that several have done to move the liners back out of the way. There's probably a few videos on it just get you a heat gun and heat it up so you can push it out of the way. Some have done minor metal trimming but I don't think you'll require that. What you will find will most likely be 2nd gen videos but same issue.

​@@TheAdamConners if you aren't just set on mud flaps just removing them may fix it not exactly sure where it was rubbing. Mine had to go on my second gen because I wasn't going to chance ripping them off causing more damage and it really does look better.

Ok Johnny, I’ll be checking into that. Much thanks, and appreciate you watching!

285/70/17 is a 33 inch tire. 32.8 inch to be exact. Significant size up from stock. I have 0 offset wheels with 2 inch lift on my pro 4x with the same tire and I had to do melt mod and slight trimming. Good luck.

Nope. I’m still on original brakes at almost 60,000 miles. Zero problems so far. But that sucks for you. Did you have the pads replaced and they warped rotors?

@@TheAdamConners yeah it’s kinda crazy. It showed up at only 10,000 miles. The ground the rotors which I didn’t like. They did the backs first, now the fronts. They said they have had a few of these now, so I was curious. My previous 2014 Nissan brakes lasted forever. I had 118k on the original rears and at least 80k on the fronts I think. Have a good day.

Wow that is weird. Not sure how I feel about that. Seems cheaper to just replace the rotors with new ones. Keep us posted on the outcome broski. 👍🏽

@@ronaldreagan-ik6hz sorry I miss spoke. I’m at 50,000.

@@TheAdamConners I call Nissan corporate today and made a request for new parts. See what they say. - but the dealer told me they had had a few of them come in now with the same rotor warping problem. FYI.

My solution was just as you suggested. Lol 👍🏽 you already know as the saying goes

@@TheAdamConners that’s awesome I’ll have to find that vid if you made one and see how it went lol

I’d put 315s on if I could figure out how. 😁

285s work with a lift and I took my mud flaps off for xtra clearance, no problem rides smooth and looks great. My obsession was transferred over from road racing bikes! Tinker, tinker!

Just got to adjust the headlights down, due to gained height on lift and tire height. Formulas for that make it easy!

@@FrankSanchez-ej3sj awesome!

Because 285s are awesome and Nissan trucks love them….. Melt mod and put your small tire opinions in the trunk of your prius.

No chance.

Please inform us how to adjust the speedo. I would love to have actual milage on the odometer.

No way. Those are too sexy.

Yea it is.
