Hey all. So I havent really been into the truck/4x4 scene at all. My vehicle history mostly involved euro and jdm vehicles. I recently picked up a 4x4 and i absoloutly love it. I got one because I got me a job up in north Alberta and will be driving it from BC quite often and this truck is definetly up for the task. A little about the purchase. The day i went shopping for a 4x4 i had my mind set on either a 4runner or R50 pathfinder. I looked at about 7 of them in one day, and none of them caught my attention. All were too high kms-worn interiors-not enough options.. i was kind of done with looking for a car that day. Then at about 9pm i got a call back from this person who had an ad listed on craigslist for a 2001 Pathfinder LE. This ad barely had any information and didn't have pictures. But i was like, whatever might as well go look at this last one i might like it. Well when i got to the persons house it was evident that this thing would be IMMACULATE. They had about 4 luxury cars parked outside and the Pathy was inside the 3 car garage with an M6 bmw and X6M bmw . This Pathfinder has had one owner since new. Lady driven all its life. They got every single option that was available that year. showed me the bill for the truck when they bought it new- $48,987 12 years ago., only has 118,000K ... I do have plans for it but i want to keep it clean as possible next day this is what i came home with. Only thing that wasn't in perfect condition was a little surface rust on the bush bar. No biggie at all !

^^ Thanks for the replies guys ! Yea upon doing mor searching im finding it hard to find a 16x8 wheel I want with a lower backspacing than 4.5".. How do you guys feel about running wheel spacers? I wont be doing any hardcore wheeling for the time being but i will be travelling long distances. Any safety concerns or pre-mature wear i should be aware of ?

ttt

Any other input guys ?

holy smokes ! one day I want mine to look EXACTLY LIKE THAT ! haha awesome look guy whats the wheel size, BS and offset on your wheels? I'm not the best at the whole backspace and offset thing. I did some reading but first hand experience and words would be better. So the wheels i posted in link above are 16x8 with a 4.5" backspace..offset is unknown. I am looking to get a wheel that "pokes" out of the fender about an inch or two. Will a lower backspace achieve that or will the 4.5 BS give me that look with a 16x8 wheel? I read the lower the backspace the further the wheel will stick out of the fenders. So I doubt these 16x8 KMC hoss will give me the look i want correct? would I need something that is 16x8 with around 3.75 backspace to achieve that look ? thanks again !

I just can't picture why a wheel that is the same diameter with the same size tire I am currently running would cause so many "rubbing" issues. I guess the 4.5 inch backspace equals to a 0 offset or is that something totally different ? Which would make the wheel stick out from the fenders correct? But like im saying. Im currently running the stock 16x7 with 255/65/16 not too sure of these factory wheels BS or offset and I want to run a 16x8 with the same tire size, 255/65/16 ...so I just can't see how the issues come into play. Is that 1 inch of wheel width the issue here or is it the backspace+offset ? thanks for bearing with me !

what kind of issues? Over every bump am I gonna have the tire hitting the fenders? Or is it going to be only when my steering wheel is fully locked kind of issues ? this is the pathy is Question

So I would most likely have some rubbing issues with the 255 /65 ? My suspension seems pretty good . The rear does have that little bit of sag as most of us know about .

Semi-Old post here but im interested in seeing how the pathy looks after having them on I came to this post when I was looking about wheel info Im looking to get these wheels http://www.amazon.com/Wheels-XD-Series-XD795-Gloss/dp/B0025KV1D8 Im wondering if the 16x8 with a 4.5 inch backspace would fit without me lifting the 2001 pathfinder . Tires ill be running are 255/65/16 info would/ input would be appreciated .
