Mud Tires For Dodge Nitro

It will throw off everything from your speedometer to your air bag deployment in a crash to your traction control. You have to stay with the same aspect ratio. You can go bigger rims & wider tires but the height of tire has to be reduced (i.e 75 series to 45) to compensate. The overall height of rim & tire together must stay as close as possible to stock. Goggle "tire aspect ratio" and you'll find some sites where you put in your stock tire size and it will tell you what size tire you will need for a bigger rim. Hope this is helpful. post #5 of 49 (permalink) post #6 of 49 (permalink) I think a 50 cal on the roof with the sunroof access would work, just hate to mess up the roof paint from the brass shells though.No matter where you go, there you are. post #7 of 49 (permalink)
can't win em' all... post #8 of 49 (permalink) I'm not saying don't do it. I'm saying do it right. You can easily go up in rim size & just lower the profile of the tire to accomadate. I did that with my Envoy. I went up from a 17" to a 20" rim and went down from a 65 series to a 45 series tire. You wouldn't want thick tires on custom rims anyway... right? And if you're seriously off roading you don't need tall rims you need meaty tires to take all the shake & bake ... right? Oh... and air bag deployment... no one thinks about it. You just survive the wreck or you don't... post #9 of 49 (permalink) post #10 of 49 (permalink)20112010200920082007Featured ProductsACCELERA®ACHILLES®BFGOODRICH®BRIDGESTONE®CONTINENTAL®COOPER®DELINTE®DUNLOP®About Dodge Nitro TiresThe Dodge Nitro is a compact SUV that has both size and elegance on its side.

Extreme Mud Terrain Light Truck Tire The Mud Grappler® extreme mud terrain tires provides traction over various off-road terrain, whether it’s dirt, rocks or mud.  The massive side-lugs and 3-ply polyester sidewall construction add more protection to help prevent sidewall punctures when facing the most challenging off-road obstacles.  
The Mud Grappler® tire can handle anything you throw at it.On the Mud Grappler, one side has lizard skin sidewall lugs and the other has plain sidewall lugs. The sidewall design is as important as the tread pattern for maximum off-road performance. The Nitto Mud Grappler mud terrain tire has one of the most aggressive and functional sidewall designs on the market. The massive side lugs provide additional biting edges, which is especially helpful in rocky terrain. The additional depth also provides punctured resistance. The high void ratio between the tread blocks efficiently clears mud and dirt from the pattern to provide excellent traction in extreme terrain. The three-ply polyester sidewall construction and high strength steel belt tread package improve puncture resistance. The tread blocks are arranged to keep part of the lugs biting the ground at all times.On the Mud Grappler, one side has lizard skin side lugs and the other has plain side lugs. The massive lugs provide additional biting edges, which is especially helpful in rocky terrain.
Off road we were very happy with the tires performance. We spent a long weekend exploring back hills, and even with a 3 1/2-ton test truck, we always felt like we had solid footing whether climbing or descending off-camber knolls. It seems to us that the deep tread depth, sipped lugs, and the claw with reptile skin design all work as well as they look. Front and rear axles were placed 1-inch forward and 1-inch rearward, respectively, to ... properly situate the tires under the fenders … With a [14" travel coil over kit in place] there was plenty of room for a set of 40x15.50R20 Nitto Mud Grapplers mounted on 20x9 Black Rhino Rockwell wheels. The Nittos are probably the roundest radial mud tires we have ever come in contact with. One of the tires needed only 1/4 ounce of wheel weight to balance out. The rest of them averaged 2 ounces. If you're not familiar with 35-inch mud tires, that's unheard of and unbelievable. The Nittos are precision tires when compared to the rest of the mud-tire market.
