I am installing a 6 inch PRG lift next week on my 2005 frontier XE. I am confused about what size tire I should get. I purchased some nismo wheels. Will a 265/75/16 look too small? Or should I go up to a 255/85/16?

Also any advice to give mechanic when installing CST spindles with 2 inch spacers?

lol.. the tire sizes you mentioned are fairly close to being the same size

265/75/16 will give you a wider contact patch but might be slightly shorter than the 255/85/16

the 255/85/16 (depending upon tread pattern design) would be better for snow and ice.  that 85 isn't going to give you a much "bigger" look over the other. 

If I remember my sizes correctly, you're looking for around a 33" tire?
