I have done a search and can't find what i am looking for
so.....
I have 07 frontier, stock height and wheels. What is the
biggest tire i can put on it and what are your tire
reccomendations. I do a lot of hunting and my truck gets
me in the woods and through the fields. I plan to do a lift
(leveling kit) this summer but not going up to much. I have a
LS 4x4. Any help would be great, thanks

Sorry... People must be watching football and celebrating MLK day.

I only know about tire sizes for the first generation Frontiers.

Someone might get back to you soon I hope!

Good Luck.. Don S..

You have a valid question I can’t answer.

But, not to be trite, the question is similar to ‘how long is a string’. There are so many ‘ifs, ands and buts’. Some people put oversized tires that will rub the fender wells even on flat ground and are happy with it. In most stock vehicles one can install one or two of the next larger size tires without adverse effects except for fuel mileage.

BFG AT KO 31”x10.50”x15” have worked well on the five 4x4s I’ve owned. Running on Colorado Mountain sharp rocks I need the Tri-Guard sidewall construction. If I did mud (Yuck) I’d go for the BFG Mud Terrains. The more aggressive tread designs are noisy, ride rough and cause poor fuel mileage. Modern low aspect ratio tires do not ‘air down well, do not ride well and do not crawl over obstacles very well.

Unfortunately I have no experience with the second generation of Frontiers. They have completely different suspensions than my 13 year old Frontier.

BTW.. Pick ups need more lift (clearance) in the rear than the front!

Good Luck Don S..

@ lakota I have a 98 stock front end and 4" lift in the back and I have
the same question with mine. Stock 15" rims 7" wide.

Cranking the T-Bars one inch will clear BFG 31x10.50x15 ATs in rough terrian. Anything else gets costly AS the steering assembly is very weak.

Good Luck..Don S..

Yup!... No problem I've done Tons of Rocky Mountain Off-Roading with My BFG AT 31x10.5x15" on the stock 7' wheels

There are pros and cons to getting 8" or 10'' wheels. Seven inch will work just fine...

Good Luck..Don S..
