exit34rocker1017 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 i just ordered new wheels and tires online. the wheels i had chosen were 16x8 with 3.75 backspacing. 4wheelparts just called me and said that this was an "unusual" backspacing, and it is custom order and would take 4-6 weeks. since i needed my tires and wheels ASAP, the only other option was 4.25 backspacing on the same wheel. i have heard this will not clear the strut, because you shouldn't go over 4". if it hits the strut is my only other option wheel spacers? are wheel spacers for the rear also? thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 It really depends on the size tire you got, which you didn't mention. You 'might' need spacers, but I doubt it. And the spacers are for the front only. Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleurys Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 It does depends on the tire itself...Some company will have their 265/75r16 measure slight different than another. On my rig I could have gone without but I was about 1/8th inch of the coil which made me worried when the tire would take expansion at high speed... So I have put 1.25inch spacer... You best bet would be to go through the tread that was made specifically for that. You will be able to see and learn what others have done in a fast and easy way. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=19867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
