I have been wanting to do a few upgrades to the MS especially a new wheel/tire setup as I do plan to do a little offroading in some florida back roads in the next couple months, nothing serious and plus I was due to new tires anyways. Old friend of saw me posting on FB when I bought the MS and he used to have a Nativa in Puerto Rico and he had a rear spoiler in his attic which he sold to me at the price of a Burger King combo meal. I was also in the market for a tow hitch and scored a Curt class III Tow hitch from a wrecked MS in the local salvage yard which was in near mint condition. In the hunt for a new hatch door center lens filler as the one I have has a few hairline cracks so I ended up removing it and plastidipping it black for the time being, but digging the look. Going to do a few other things but next on my upgrade path is a OME suspension upgrade and most likely a OME 2" body lift. Decided to stick with 16" wheels just a more aggressive specs and 265/70/16 Pathfinder S A/T (Rebranded Kuhmo tire for Discount Tire) Wheels are Vision Raptors 16x8.5 @ 0 offset.     |

I love it! I have an 01' XS and I am in the market for a new wheel and tire setup. I am really not happy with how the stock 255/70/16 setup looks and I have already been burned by trying to switch to 15's and having them not fit. I was told I can run a 245/70/16 without issue but I don't want to take such an expensive risk since I cannot pull off a lift right now. Is your monty stock height? Any rubbing issues with that tire size? I too was looking at the pathfinders for mine, any feedback on them?

Stock height and no rubbing at all and its been in situations where full suspension travel has happened and no rubbing.
These Pathfinder's are rebranded Khumo models only from Discount tire. I have been extrt happy with them...excellent ride quality, very quiet and they have very good wet and dry weather traction. I have had to go through some off road conditions for fun and necessity at times with all the rain we have been getting in Florida and been able to navigate effortlessly.

Looks really good! Your rear spoiler... Did your sport come with it? Looking to put one on mine and that is the version I like the most

A old friend of mine contacted me when I posted a pic of my Sport when I got it on FB. He had a Nativa back in PR..totalled it but salvaged the wing which has been sitting in his attic for years. Bought it from him at crackhead price.  |
