NV35002016

I noticed Flashman's post regarding paint defects on his NV. I also have paint defects on my new black NV. It looks like some kind of small particulate was in the paint when they sprayed the panels. I have these tiny raised specs under the clear coat in random places all over the vehicle. Has anyone else noticed this on their NV? Brought it to a different Nissan dealer (local) and they said it was one of the worst factory paint jobs they had seen. I always thought it looked a bit flat, but figured it was a commercial vehicle so it was just a standard paint job. I hadn't noticed the specs of junk until he pointed them out. I don't know what the solution is here. If they repaint the vehicle, that typically diminishes the value significantly because the next buyer assumes it was in an accident.

No rubbing at all with this set up. You can confirm the tire diameters by using the calculator in the link above, then turn your tires full stop in both directions to confirm gap between wheel well and suspension components.

caryhecker, I got the rims through customoffsets.com because they had a style I liked with the 25mm offset (slim pickings). Got the tires at discount tire and after talking to the manager he said he could have ordered the rims with 25mm offset. That probably would have been better doing it turnkey with one company. You can check/compare fitment at https://tiresize.com/calculator/. You're looking around $1,800 for rims and AT Load E tires.

JCattSS, Glad yours fit. It actually looks like you have a hair more clearance on the door than I do, which is weird. Your wheel offset with the 275 wide tire should have it 10 mm closer to the door than mine. I guess there is some variance.

After reviewing everything on the internet I finally had to take a leap and try my own combination of wheels and tires on my new 2016 NV3500 SL. I didn't want to have to shim the side door. Based on some of the measurements I did, I feel I found the perfect combo for a "no-mod" install. This is factory suspension as well. Rims are 20x9 with 25mm offset. This keeps the wider tire clear of the suspension components. I went with with a 265/60 R20 Nitto TerraGrappler. The tire sticks out about an inch further than the stock tires. As you can see in the picture, there's just enough clearance between the sliding door interior panel and the tire sidewall when fully open. Hopefully this helps someone out. Good luck!
