Damn bro I have the exact same truck color and all and those wheels and tires look AMAZING on it. WOW! The best looking midsize pickup in my opinion. Beautiful setup brother. Keep making Frontier content we need more. God Bless
I think I would try to mold it a little with a heat gun before I cut at it. Let me know if you ever try it and see if it clears any better. Id love to get the Falkens in that size if we can avoid that rub.
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.
You should do what I did which was cut a small square off of my mud guard. I didn’t want to remove it altogether which is what the off-road company recommended. Didn’t do it and I got around that rubbing with no issues!
I think you’re good (2 months late. Haha). I went with a 275/65R18 and did have to do some trim work to allow for clearance. I also did a 3 in lift. It turned out nicely.
Loose the mud flaps 3 screws ,lookin good,I just lifted mine 3" and lift schackles and 1 1/2 blockson the back,i plan on loosing the blocks latet and installing a 2" add a leaf, i did install to bilstine 28" shocks in the back off of a cherokee worked grate and doing a 1" body lift,same tire size but on stock rims
Offset and width of the wheel will effect that area of contact. It seems that some careful heating of the plastic area with a heat gun, you can probably eliminate that contact. I would not cut it.
Would like to contribute.. No hijack intended The OE options for wheel/tire combinations available on Nissan Frontier for the 2023+ year were: - 265/70R16 (30.6") on a 16x7" ET30 with an offset range of 28-32mm - 265/65R17 (30.6") on a 17x7.5" ET30 with an offset range of 28-32mm - 265/75R16 (31.6") on a 16x7" ET30 with an offset range of 28-32mm - 265/60R18 (30.5") on a 18x7.5" ET30 with an offset range of 28-32mm As was mentioned in the video a 285/70R18 setup was used with a +18mm offset. That in most cases would give you a 32.7" tire 11.2" wide and a sidewall variance of 7.9", in most peoples looser opinion, a 33" tire What we always find in the aftermarket is the sometimes major shift from OE offset options corrected for wheel diameter, they make a S.W.A.G. (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) of the popularity and wide casting net of vehicles they can cover with the least amount of options, or the manufacture may just happen to cater to a vehicle platform overall, finding the niche in the market place within a specific community or three. You also mentioned you chose the familiar RC (Rough Country) lift kit. That in of itself is a spacer lift kit, or as RC describes as a "Strut Extension kit", also known as a leveling kit. Now they do offer a upgraded kit with a taller coil-spring and appropriate length McPherson Shock assembly for the 4WD only, but for as many times as I watched your video going back and forth,could not see the new shiny silver Shocks and struts and there was no mention of UCA's used which should be a foresight to anyone lifting 2"+, so we assume your setup is the PML variety (?) Correct us if we're wrong. Using your 285/70R17, that would give you a 32.7" tire 11.2" wide and a sidewall variance of 7.9".. You would be gaining 0.1" (a hair more in sidewall). Now we believe the issue is in the Offset Availability on the Motegi TE37 Look-a-likes seem to offer only a +18/00mm Offset for their 17x8.5 (6x139.7) wheels but keeping withing the +32/+35mm offset range would have likely made your rubbing issue Non-existent content, or at least a change of "Nissan Frontier on 33's: Check and get my trucks Fit" vid instead. Sure the eye catching wheel poke would have been far less presentable but amazing how much +14mm (0.55"in) can make. Its why the Grand Cherokee WL (22+) lift kit we offer has a specific spacer of 1.62" to prevent rubbing in the same exact situation with a, also spacer lifted (but uni-body not body on frame setup) 2.5" lift in a marketplace where 1.50" and 1.75" in are only available. Subtle differences in extra effort go a long way further when designing a lift and sometimes makes spending just a little more for a kit can be beneficial. Not saying everything with a bigger dent in your wallet is better, but planning out a build vs getting it done, can be also left to perceived value and pride. Would almost bet your OE wheels with same tires wouldn't rub at all, subsequently, especially if you removed the mud flaps. [[DISCLAIMER:: We know many people don't keep vehicles that long to get attached to them. Personally my daily is a 30 year old lifted lifted Ranger on 34's with 362K well modded but original engine/5spd trans; whereas my '20 Tacoma 3G has just recently turned over 24k on the clock. Likely wont get rid of either unless totaled out beyond un-repairable or they cheat on me with another driver [stolen]]. NOTE: there is a build scheduled for the NEW 2025 Nissan Frontier in our favor.. As for speed-corrections, we would say with the three (4) sizes mentioned above, specifically what your wishes are from the above OE spec option. The following difference was found at what we think are the basics of speeds that matter to most. 20MPH ~ 20.7 40MPH ~ 41.4 60MPH ~ 62.1 80MPH ~ 82.8 Knowing those, no major speed corrections should be necessary for those low of tolerances. In comparison to say a 3-4MPH difference at the lowest speed, yes, but those are rather acceptable to be honest. Keep the rubber sided down folks, see you on the trails!
Hey ther. Would a Nismo 1.5" lift / leveling kit help with the clearance of the tire. Im thinking of doing this . Lift kit then that tire size . 285/70R17. . Also thank for clearing up the speedometer reading. Really helpful thanks
In looking at those mud flaps, you might be able to take one off and get the dimensions off of it to have low profile ones 3d printed. It looks like the attachment bolts are recessed. If you print ones where the surface is at the same level as the bolt recesses, you should be able to gain some room. Maybe a 32nd or a 16th. It's not much, but it might be enough.
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.
@@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
285 will fit without rubbing if you remove the mud flaps, but only with the stock offset of +30, if you add any spacer or have a more negative offset then +30 your gonna need to trim. The 3rd gen Frontiers are super sensitive to offset. I'm confused about your tire height however, a Falken 285 70 17 should be 32.8", but yours measures at 32" or slightly less?
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
I have a leveling kit, 285 70 17 and black rhino 0 offset on my pro4x. I had to take the mud flaps off, trim the pinch weld on both sides, cut the lower plastic on both sides and melt mod so i can actually drive with this setup lol
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 UA-cam 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.
I like the style of the wheels but the positive offset makes the tire come out to far and also will cause rubbing without more lift. I put 285/70R17 on my Ranger without any rubbing the stock wheels have a O offset.
I could tell as soon as I saw them mounted that they were going to rub. In my opinion, 285s aren't worth the hassle. I'd stick with 275s and just increase the diameter by 1 inch above stock. That setup would work fine with a 2 inch lift.
@@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.
I wonder how it will be on my 2nd gen Pro4X, I have adjustable Bilstein 5100 and set it to top notch. I do have a offroad bumper and skid plate which gives room in the front but also heavy bumper might be disadvantage. Any ideas?
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.
Hi Adam, at 3:44 that tire showed some wear on the outside that seems to be caused by the camber being off, did you correct the camber with the 2in lift you installled ? Keep up the great vids brother !
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.
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
have you had issues with warped rotors? i have had issues with my 2023 frontier long bed 4x4. i feel like thee dealer is giving me the run around on it.
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.
@@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.
@@TheAdamConnersdepends on the 285. Not all 285s are created equal. Seen plenty that fit without rubbing on stock suspension, only removing the splash guards. Ko3s will fit no problem
@@TheAdamConners not all trucks came with them either as they are a option. Which is my point, you don't need "extensive" modification to make them fit and if the solution is to simply remove an add on.....I think you get the idea. For those who don't have the splash guards they can absolutely fit with no modification.
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.
I have one more question please : Would 285 / 70 / 17 tires on 17 X 8.5 wheels- 0MM offset work on the 2024 Pro 4X ? I am going get the Rough Country 2" lift as well. Thank you ! I just don't want to cut or trim anything if i can help it.
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 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.
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.
why are people so obsessed with putting 285s on these trucks with barely any lift? just put 275s on there and be done with it. id hate to have my new truck making all that racket every time i turned the wheels.
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!
To me it’s not correct. Stick to specifications or do the correct modifications if you really feel the need. Adjust stance, speedometer, etc. don’t do a hack job.
I love it! Particularly the comments about age. The wisdom of getting older. I'm a new 2023 Frontier owner and am still learning about the truck.

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.
I have a leveling kit on my frontier, would 285's fit without rubbing?
Nope
@@TheAdamConnersdepends on the 285. Not all 285s are created equal. Seen plenty that fit without rubbing on stock suspension, only removing the splash guards.
Ko3s will fit no problem
@@D41Michigan if you have to remove splash guards then they don’t fit is the point.
@@TheAdamConners not all trucks came with them either as they are a option. Which is my point, you don't need "extensive" modification to make them fit and if the solution is to simply remove an add on.....I think you get the idea. For those who don't have the splash guards they can absolutely fit with no modification.
Would a tire the same height but slightly narrower work. I'm in the process of getting a used 2022 Frontier and planned the same lift.
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.
I have one more question please : Would 285 / 70 / 17 tires on 17 X 8.5 wheels- 0MM offset work on the 2024 Pro 4X ? I am going get the Rough Country 2" lift as well. Thank you ! I just don't want to cut or trim anything if i can help it.
275/70 will give you less headaches. You absolutely will have to modify the fender liners with a 285/70
What offset are these wheels? I see they sell them in 0 and +18mm?
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!
Time for the heat gun trick. Might need to get some camber bolts too.
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.
How much did the mpg change?
It was shit before and its the same :)
I avg 19 now.
take off the mud flaps and get the cam tab upgrade for a better alignment 👍
@@overland_cam
These mudflaps are going nowhere
@@TheAdamConners whyyyy haha
why are people so obsessed with putting 285s on these trucks with barely any lift? just put 275s on there and be done with it. id hate to have my new truck making all that racket every time i turned the wheels.
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.
Just do a melt mod.
285/60-17. Done
i ended up trmming that inside off on mine , just plastic.
To me it’s not correct. Stick to specifications or do the correct modifications if you really feel the need. Adjust stance, speedometer, etc. don’t do a hack job.
Please inform us how to adjust the speedo. I would love to have actual milage on the odometer.
Remove the mud flaps
No chance.
Just remove the mud flaps and you are good to go.
No way. Those are too sexy.
255/80 😎 and actually have a better off-road tire
Full size wheels on a small truck. Why do men have to have these small trucks?
Gawd dam these frontier crew cabs are fugggg-ly!
