FUELER Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hey all, I have a question I have a 99 QX4, and need tires soon. I dont like the 16" chrome 3 spoke rims. I am thinking of something along the lines of 31"x10.50x15 on some 3.75" backspace USW rims, like DJDANK has on his pathy. These would stick out farther than stock setup right? Any brake clearance issues? DJDanks Pathy (same rim size i am thinking of getting) My QX4 Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_johnson Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Yep, they would stick out further than stock. I'm not sure about brake clearance issues though. If the QX4 has the same exact brakes as the pathy's, then you'll be fine. However, since the QX4 is more luxury/on-road oriented, it wouldn't surprise me if Infiniti put slightly larger brakes on. That could be the reason for the larger stock rims on the QX4. Or not. I'm just speculating, you could just take some measurements and determine clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 they will be like flush with the fender flares... and as far as the smaller rim you may want to try a 15 or somethin first..cuz i know on the 96-03 4runner some have 15s and some have 16s and the ones with 16s cant fit the 15s... (my friend had a problem with this after she totalled her 4runner and got a new one with 16s.. i wouldnt be complainin tho she got a rear locker stock in that bad boy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 (edited) Hmmm...well I'm thinking yes they would fit. I am led to believe the 99 and 98 are identical. But one thing for sure though is that you need to get rid of those 3 spoke QX4 rims!!! I have NEVER been a fan of those. Reminds me of those old school 3 spoke ultras. How about these? :oops: Edited March 10, 2005 by DJ Dank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 is the QX4 lug pattern 6 x 5.5 in bolt pattern?? 3.75 BS??? or 4" backspace? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 yes 6x 5.5 or 6x 139.7 if metric. As for backspacing, I stayed with 3.75". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
