Fronty question...

[QuismO]

ok, i know i'm asking my fellow pathy owners a fronty question, but i figured it's worth a shot since we couldn't find answers anywhere else.

 

my brother has an '02 frontier, and he purchased some '07 frontier rims. nissan changed the bolt patterns...i know i know, my brother didn't check before buying them. anyways, to make a long story short, he's in love with them, and got them for $400 with new tires, thus, is willing to fork out some more cash for a fix.

 

we've done some searching on the web, frontier forums, etc., and we saw that people have put adapters, but this does raise the risk of broken bolts, and of course, changing the backspacing. i don't know much about the newer nissans, so i'm trying to find out if there are some parts that can be swapped between '02 and '07 models to make his wheels fit.

 

info that might be necessary:

 

truck to put the rims on is an '02 frontier xe

 

truck the wheels came from is an '07 frontier nismo edition

There isn't much, if anything that can be changed. The 02 and 07 share very little in common, other than name. Chassis, drivetrain, powertrain, body are all different. Wheel spacers, or rim modifications are about your only options.

the bolt pattern on the 05 and up frontys pathys and x's are a smaller diameter, short of putting those hubs and all on your truck its just not gonna happen...as far as I know, my suggestion would be to get the tires off and sell the rims to try and re coupe some of the expense.

If you could change your rear axles to the pattern you need u can do that...up front you would prob need to have a custom hub made (dont think the new will fit the old but maybe) other than that...adapters and/or get different wheels
