I picked up my beautiful Nissan Rider Autech about two months ago, and it's been a bit of an adjustment. Since we drive on the left side of the road here in Canada, I've had to adapt to driving on the right. It's a learning experience, and I'm being extra cautious to avoid any accidents.
Speaking of which, shortly after getting the car, I got a little too close to the curb and ended up with some scratches on those pristine 20-inch rims ā ouch! It seems like I've been collecting minor dents and scratches ever since.
Instead of lowering the van as I originally planned, I'm thinking about lifting it for some light off-roading adventures. I've already swapped the rims to a more practical 16-inch size to accommodate tires with taller sidewalls. I might even be able to go down to 15 inches for even more off-road capability.
Right now I'm using Nokian Outpost APT All-Terrain, all weather tires in a 215/65/16 size. They're all-weather tires with a mud and snow (M+S) rating and the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, so they'll handle anything Canada throws at me.
The next step is a lift kit, and I'm considering one from a Nissan Pathfinder. However, I'm still researching compatibility and options. If anyone reading this has recommendations for lifting a Rider Autech, especially from folks in Australia with similar right-hand-drive experience, I'd love to hear your advice!
