Chicano2005 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 to make it short, I've seen these rims on Chevy Tahoe police SUV's and wondered how they would look on a pathfinder. lug pattern seems the same from what I've searched. here are some pics now if these police rims are expensive we can also use Chevy Express Cargo Van rims and paint them black.

OldSlowReliable Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 They look like base model chevy steelies...being an r50 owner you will need to find out the backspacing and make sure they are not 15's (or whatever size won't fit your brakes if I remember correctly) in my experience, the police don't usually go for anything spectacular in their wheel choices, alot being the classic plastic cover over steel wheel w/o the plastic cover... I'd be willing to bet you can find them on rock auto under either one of those vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I found this: http://www.finishlinewheels.com/CHEVY/TAHOE/2008/S-08069U45/ even looked on e-bay and all the wheels I found for sale are silver, maybe the cop one's get painted?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 why not just get cragars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverton Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 they look a lot like cragar soft 8's to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicano2005 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 chevy express cargo van rims are less expensive and more easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 just remember GM's have smaller hub bores. For as cheap as you can get a set of soft 8s for (crager or knock offs) is it really worth the extra effort and labor just to say you have stock GM base model, bottom of the barrel, steel wheels?

They're the same wheel, just the cop ones are black. They do this around here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 idk....those steelies look like they go for apx 90 bucks, my steelies cost under 250 for 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 5 crager soft 8s shipped to my door for 250$ I donno about r50s but Chevy wheels wont fit a wd21 if its 4x4 BC of the centerbore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 they look a lot like cragar soft 8's to me! I don't know, I haven't seen good exact pictures but I don't think they are the same other than black and with holes. The Chebby ones slant out to the rim edge, the Cragers are more flat out to the rim and have a double step... B Oh, UNCCP, $211.95 for my set of 5.

nige Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 yeah, you can probably get chrome lug nuts and center caps to dress them up a little like the first pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicano2005 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) can anyone do a photochop of the rims with regular tires on(not offroad tires)? or anyone has a pic with those rims but with regular tires on? i found some on CL. (2) have BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A 245/65/17 not much tread life on them. $50 (2) have Dakota Definity A/T 265/70/17 very good tread left on them. (see pictures) $100 http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/pts/2362074370.html also these ones, but they need to be balanced. http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/pts/2370022294.html Edited May 10, 2011 by Chicano2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
