Re: Wheel And Tire Size for 2005 Stock XE

I upgraded my '05 Titan Le w/Off Road Package OEM wheels from the Stock 17 Allow wheels to an 18" Boss Motorsports 304 Series Rim and 18 " Michelin Coss Terrain Tires. It rendered my On-The-Fly 4 wheel Drive dissengagement at freeway speeds inoperable. I didn't suspect the tires at first and thought there was a problem with the 4 wheel drive....its a long story. Nissan said the tires were at fault. I did not believe it. I had sold the OEM tires and was thus forced to go purchase a OEM set (got them on eBay). Lo and behold...I put the OEM Rims/Tires on and the 4 Wheels drive works flawlessly. The tire installer said the manufacturer stated the rims/tires are compatible with the Titan. So now I am trying to work with American Eagle Wheels Corp. to see if there is anything they will do for me.
I am out $2200.00 for the new Tires/Rims, $800.00 for the OEM purchase AND $300.00 to get the air pressure sensor valve stems back into the OEM wheels and numerous hours of time trying to figure out what the problem is.
I know one thing I will never again upgrade rims on a vehicle of this type.
