Simon Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) Hey folks, just did a search, and came up with NADA, so I'm gonna ask. I've got a 95 Pathy, and I'm going Wednesday to look at some wheels/tires that came off an R50 Pathfinder. I know the bolt pattern is the same for both, but will the center hole be the right size to fit over the hubs on my 95? I've seen a couple of WD21's with newer style rims, (one had QX4 rims) but I'm not sure if there was any modification necessary to get them to fit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. EDIT: A preliminary search on aftermarket wheels shows that part numbers for a 96 and 95 Pathfinders would be the same in 16" size, but I'd like to be 100% sure if possible.

vengeful Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Center hole will be fine...your backspacing will be fine, too. The R50 wheels had less backspacing (i.e. stuck out from the hub more) than the WD21 legos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 K9, you have issues. So do we have a 2nd on the backspacing? I'm looking for a cheap rim to mount a 31x10.5 spare on the tire carrier, but the stock spare rim won't cut it cause the tire won't clear the carrier frame. As long as it will fit there and fit the truck enough to get me home, goo 'nuff for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 R50 SE wheels are 4.75" backspacing, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I tried to put on the supercharged Xterra wheels (17x8)" on my WD21 and there is no way it would have worked. As soon as there would have been any flex the rear tires would touch the frame big time. If I recall correctly the WD22 Xterras and R50 Pathys run similar or identical offset.

Simon Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Good info Filthy. I'm going to check out a set tonight, but the rims are aftermarket....they were on an R50....so I'll see what the fit is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was several months ago and I still haven't gotten a good tire on it yet (last one I picked up had a broken belt! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
