Tire sizes

Bottoms out? Shimmies? Shackles, springs, shocks, steering linkage etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Suspension' category are here.

Does anyone know the original tire size on a '69 KL60? Also, what is the largest tire that will fit without modification. Mine has 33" tires and a 2" body lift that I would like to do away with.  Thanks

i have 33" tires on my '67 it had a spring over that i reversed and they don't rub at all. by the way has anyone ever done a successful springover on a patrol? and if so how did you get the drive shafts in line and fix the steering?. it's a simple task on a cruiser but a ENGINEERING  marvel on a patrol.

Go to "Patrol Specs" for original tire size.  Looks like ther are 2 different sizes depending on the year.  http://groups.msn.com/nissanpatrolcluba ... tions.msnw
