Beefier Tire
Hi, All.
Was wondering if anyone knew how to get some more room with your fenders? I was considering removing the plastic OEM fender flares, and getting some that maybe give me a slightly larger wheel well that flare out a bit so I can fit a wider/beefier tire over my stock wheels.
Anyone know of anybody who have done this with their NX?
Let me know,
Joey

Several of us have used 255/55R18 on a stock size with no issues. Any larger would throw off the speedo and gearing. If you use spacers, you maybe able to use a wider tire, but on the stock rim with, the tire may not set properly.
If your into widebody, check out AndreyVolk's work.. he has a custom widebody kit on his NX

Looks great! I wonder who made it and how to get one.

Found this while doing a search for beefier tires on a NX as I was also wondering the same thing. I contacted the person, and they said the tire size is 235/60/18 with front wheel 18x8 and rear 18x9. It doesn't look too bad at all and looks like the 4x4 look.
