I own a 2003 Nissan Xterra and i dont like the tires cuz their thin so i decided to upgrade them to some 20 inch rims..
My stock rims are 16x7 and my new rims are 20x9 with a +35 offset ....(the new rims will stick out a lil bit)
My stock tires are 275/70/16r
I want my tires to look a lil bit more wider then the stock ones and since i just bought those new rims what size of tire do u think i should get and it would fit my new rims??? Thanks

That's going to be a much harsher ride than your 16x7 wheels.
I would go with 265/50-20 and they will be a very pricey tire over a 16-incher.
Good Luck.

So many Xterria people think they have a different truck than they actually have. Your Trucklet is 5 years old so put much heavier wheels and tires on it with out even repacking the front wheel bearings. And having the looseness of the drag link fixed. Now with much heavier wheels and slack in the front end parts hammer the ball joints and tie rod ends out. ANd with out readjusting the steering stops your tires will rub the front bumper at the bottom and at steering lock the tire will rub the frame and back of the front fender or mud flaps if you haven't removed them. PIMP YOUR RIDE, Bling and Xterria in the same sentence? It is a basic Sport Utility made for off road and on road. The reason Nissan sold millions of them simple strong long lasting. The 4x4 xterria hold it's own with Jeeps!!! Keep it stock and PIMP A real RIDE

Well you didn't state you rim width, you said the diameter but what is the width? they usually tell you when you buy the wheel that or it is stamped on the inside of the wheel. Ranging from 5 inches wide to 10 inches wide (sometimes bigger). Rim width makes a big difference on how wide of tires will fit...but a safe assumption is that either of the 215's will fit, I would choose the tire with the closest measurements to stock so you don't mess up your speedometer or gearing ratio. Smaller circumference tires lower the gear ratio and promote Speedometer lag, Higher circumference tires raise the gear ratio and promote Speedometer Jump. Higher Gear Ratio will lower acceleration but raise top end, Lower Gear Ratio will lower top end but raise acceleration...although the gear ratio changes would be minimal, the Speedometer changes would be very noticeable with any tire 3% smaller or larger circumference than stock. Circumference is calculated using the three numbers on the tire, just type in Tire Circumference Calculator in google. I can't confirm anything about wheel rub with the 225s unless you give me more information, I would need the wheel well depth, wheel well gap height, and Rim width to be able to really tell you anything for certain.

I would recommend you to keep your stock rims. I put some 18s on my 1998 Nissan Sentra and I have been having front end trouble every since.
