Wheels

[derogate]

I tried using the search to help answer this but it didn't help really too much. What i need to know is, what is the bolt pattern for our pathfinders (6 bolt obviosly, but will any 6 bolt wheel fit?? 95 specifically, if it matters). I'm looking into buying rims and rubber for mine, but I'm new to wheels and how all the measurements work. Whats the most common width and innner diameter sizes for 32 and 33 inch tires? and should the wheel match that or can it be skinnier than the tire? How extreme can we go on the offsets on our pathy's (stock, or lifted). Any other tips would help also. Thanks.

I have Chevy 6 lug rims on mine. you just have to make sure the "hole" in the middle fits over your locking hubs. If, say, you're running a 31/10.5x15 tire...get 15x8 rims...if your tire is too wide for the rim..you run the risk of popping a bead off road (been there,done that!).. my rims have odd backspace... front are 3.5" and back are 4". the 3.5 is nice, the 4 is good if you like your "stuff" to stick out a bit more.. I just happened to pay $40 for all 4 rims..and it doesn't seem to affect my Pathy at all....

The hole pattern is 6 on 5.5. Anywhere from 3"-4" BS works well. For 33 x 12.5" tires, the minimum width for wheels are 8".

All you have to do to find this info out is call your local tire shop. They'll be able to tell you the correct lug pattern a lot faster than it would take to look for the info here.

6 on 5.5 is available on Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, and also Isuzu if you're looking for a deal on used rims. Like Slick said, just make sure the center hub hole is the correct diameter, they're not all the same. It can be changed by a competent maching shop, but they'd have to be a heck of a deal to justify machining costs... :contract:
