Nissan Patrol GU/Y61 Thread

285/75R16 will fit without any problems. also 305/70R16 will fit. saw one with 35" tires yu lang looks lowered ang patrol. as long as you retain the stock wheels the tires wont go outside of the flares.

But would steering be compromised compared to the stock 265/70R16? If so, do you think it would be significant? I'd like to get something bigger than the stock tires, but without compromising too much of the steering convenience.

steering, you will hardly notice the difference in the steering effort in turning the tires. but you will feel more confident handling corners with the wider tires.

i'm thinking of 275/75R16...would this fit without problems, without lift?

275/75R16 will fit without any problems you mentioned. mine is 285/75R16 without any modifications on my rig.

sa mga mayroong old look bumper ng patrol GU, nasubukan na ba ninyong lagyan ng maliit na foglamps yung maliit na rectangular grill sa front bumper?

may plano kasi akong lagyan ng foglamps yun for extra aid in night driving

ayoko munang mag lagay ng bull bar or malaking frong foglamps na naka patong sa bumper and located right behind the front grill

111prez, are you referring to the part on both sides of the plate number? marami na akong nakitang naglalagay ng auxillary lamps dun, yung square lamps, swak na swak dun.

boybi -- hindi doon. i am referring to the bumper itself, yung malapit sa wheel well and fender. its that small rectangle with the horizontal grills. gusto ko sanang lagyan doon

yep may nakita na rin akong mga auxiliary lamps linagay sa lugar malapit sa plate number pero parang hindi ko kursunada
