Default 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

AFAIK, it was a custom build. If you follow his instagram he has the build process in it. It is one of the wildest builds i've seen to date!

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.

That looks good! I as well will be going for a 4x4 look once my lease is up!
