tire-wheel recomandation plz

hi
guys I'm new to this forum .
I'm not an english speaker, excuse my english.
titan is my first truck. It's been fixed 3 times (handle shakes at 30mp)
so I've applied for LEMON low. and Nissan head office sent me
mechanic to fix my truck, It's better then before but still shakes.

It disappointed me, BUt Still like my truck.
anyway, I'm thinking about buying a tire/wheel combo on my titan(2004 model SE).
Enkei RT-6 (20'' x 9 '') and Nitto Terra Grapplers ( 305-55-20)

1. Where is the best place(cheapest) i can get this ENKEI RT -6 ?
2. Dose this combo fit my truck without lift ? No rubbing ?
If this combo rubs , what size tire and wheel can you recommend ?
3. Can my truck still be covered by Factory warranty? with this combo
4. Do I feel any power loss or damage to transmission ?

Thanks

Sorry to hear about your problem. I suggest you hold off replacing the tires/rims until everything is fixed up to par, as they may blame the new tires as reason for failure to fix. But having said that, the combination you are looking at is perfect fit for your Titan. It is factory approved replacement size.( I have the same ) In fact my dealer offers the same combo as a dealer installed option for $3800 though I bought mine from www.tires.com for $1700 less mounted, balanced and delivered. There is no loss of power or damage to tranny as this set has almost exact rolling diameter as the OEM tires.
Hope your problem gets resolved.

Does that hold true for the OR tires too? I haven't checked their rolling diameter.

I am almost absolutely certain that the overall diameter of every Titan OEM tire is around 33 inches.

I think he means the steering wheel. Sounds like he either has a bad suspension part or more likely a bad wheel or tire. Replacing these may actually solve the shake problem. Don't know the best place to buy the wheel you are looking for but I've always like www.tirerack.com for tires and wheels. Good luck!

Actually, he is inquiring about the 305/55/20 and you have the 305/50/20 according to your sig, but that's easy enough to miss. The 305/50 you have is actually about 1/2" shorter than the stock tires (except the XE's) and the 305/55 is about 1/2" taller than the stock size. The 305/50's will fit perfectly on a stock truck but the 305/55 will need at least a leveling kit and you will still probley need to remove the mud flaps. It will also depend on the wheels width and offset. I have the same exact combo on order that talklessridemore is asking about. I found the best package price at discount tire. They do not list the Enkei RT-6 on there website because they no longer stock them. However they will still order them. I will be sure to post up pics and a review when they get here in about 2 weeks or so.
