Hey Guys, I'm new to the forum and new to the world of Xterras! I recently purchased a 2012 X model and I'm looking to lift it so I can fit an A/T 285/75R16 tires on it. My question is to all that's familiar, whats the best height lift that I should be looking at to install front and back in order to clear the bigger tires with no rubbing? Second question is, what are the different type of lift kits did you guys decide to use for this application? And of course, please share some badass photos of your rigs with this application. Thanks!
Both Jeff and Jay hit it on the head with their suggestions. As Jay mentioned, you can fit 285s on stock height, you'll just need to work the fenders. What lift you go with will depend on what you really want to do with your X. If your goal is go out on desert trips and do a fair amount of off-road driving, you won't be able to beat the PRG kit Jay posted. If you just want a mild lift to clear the tires a little better, go with the 5100s Jeff suggested.
Below are a couple of pictures of my X. The first pic is from the first lift I installed, the Nisstec brand coilover kit. I was siting at about 2.0" of lift and the pic will give you a good representation of 2.0" with 285s. The second is after I Titan swapped, still with 285s.
