Nissan Patrol 60 biggest tire size: stock and lifted
The biggest tire owners run on a Nissan Patrol 60 Series at every lift height, with the trimming it takes, the wheel specs you need and the lift kits that get you there.
We couldn't find a forum consensus for the 60, so here's what's documented. Stock was a narrow 16-inch bias-ply, 7.00-16 or 7.50x16 depending on the truck. One 1969 on Bring a Trailer runs 30x9.50 tyres on 15-inch wheels. A 1982 Colombian LG-61 runs 33x12.50 tyres on 15s, with longer rear shackles. Narrow tall tyres such as a 7.50x16 suit the truck's look, gearing and steering best.

Forty-year-old springs sag. A restorer's 2-inch-lift Alcan set matched the stock eye-to-eye length and cleared narrow 7.50x16s. Alcan springs are built to order.
Period Warn hubs were a US dealer option. Fitting them on an early truck means upgrading the speedometer drive.
Fitment comes from owners and specialists; wheel width, offset, trimming and bump stops change what fits. Check clearance at full lock and full flex before you buy. Some links are affiliate links.
