Justin517 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm finally modding my '03 pathfinder. I'm getting the 29091 warn hubs ($140 shipped, woot!) and want to amke sure they will work with my stock wheels, I dont have access to the pathy at the moment, and even if I did, its too damn cold to oull the wheel off right now! lol. Anyway, has anyone run this wheel with them? I found in searching that you need 4.25" center bore? Hope I have it. if not, think I can have them machined? I have access to a lathe.... lol. thanks for any info!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 American Racing 767 Pro Comp RC51 These wheels both have a centre hole of 4 1/2" I made sure when I ordered my steelies. From the looks of it those OEM wheels won't work. If you wanna try making the centre hole larger, by all means give it a shot. Be sure to post pics!

laxman0324 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Those OEM wheels need to be machined in order to fit it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrex20 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 yes, like laxman said, those wheels will need to be machined to fit the hubs. i have a '00 Pathy (3.3L) and my stock 16in wheels fit over my hubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you or Pezzy post a pic of those wheels with the manual hubs on it? I am looking into getting them but just want to see what it will look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csutke Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 AS others have stated they wont fit, I have the same wheels and tried to put the hubs on mine it the holes were about 1/4" to small, sorry for the bad news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the diameter? or the radius? Like I said I have access to a lathe (and a bridgepor at work too) and am getting new tires put on anyway so it shouldnt be too bad to machine the hole slightly larger to fit. Right?

alexrex20 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 (edited) Can you or Pezzy post a pic of those wheels with the manual hubs on it? I am looking into getting them but just want to see what it will look like i have very different wheels than you, but this is what mine looked like with stock wheels: and yes, it is very easy to enlarge the center opening of a typical wheel.

Pezzy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The wheels alexrex posted do not need to be bored out. I have the same ones, they fit fine as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwak16530 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I assume I know the answer to this, but: Do the center caps fit over the warn manual hubs? I've got a 2001 Pathy 3.5LE with the dual tri-star rims. I really don't want to upgrade if I can help it, but I assume the caps wont fit, and it would look kinda dorky without them! Maybe I can drill out the centers or something. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverlion Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 What kind of bridge? I'm a collector.... As far as machining them, you can do it on a Bridgeport mill. Just use an indicator to find the center, make sure it's clamped down tight, and take light cuts with a boring head. I did some work on some old mags for my Chevelle. Worked like a charm.
