GreenEnvy94Pathy Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Just bought some new wheels for the Pathy. In a few days I will crank the torsion bars for some added altidude, and add some air shocks for the rear. Pics to come, here are a few... sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derogate Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 very nice! My buddy has the same.. or similar ones on his 97 chev. One of my favorite sets of rims for sure. It looks amazingly good on a pathy for sure! now lift it and you're set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Nice wheels... I have been eyeballing a set of those here in Spokane but 1st things 1st..... What did those set you back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeenZombie Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 What is that thing on the front top that says Thule? What are those and how can you get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Normally I am not a fan of chrome but this setup complements your bumpers and other trim bits... Nicely done! That Thule thingy is a fairing that reduces the wind noise from the roof rack. You can get it at http://www.thuleracks.com or any of their retailers (you can find the list of them on the Thule site) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah same here... not big on chrome but they do look nice on your truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbecktold Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Nice. What's the backspacing on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenEnvy94Pathy Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 The wheels are American Racing "Ventura". They are a 15x8, and rub with 31x10.50's. I will be cranking the torsion bars and adding either air shocks in the back, or I have also been thinking about JGC springs, but the guys at Les Schwab didn't suggest it. Apparently Nissans have a horrible reputation for their front ends, and they strongly suggested against raising the torsion bars... but who cares, I will find out myself if that is true or not, anyone else have problems with raising the torsion bars and adding springs? Oh and the price for the wheels were $890.00 mounted and balanced. -thnkboutit- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yes, the front ends are weak. If you do any real wheeling, you will trash the front end eventually. The bigger wheels and higher it is, the sooner something will give. It's just a fact with these trucks. Calmini, and L&P can both help a lot. I'm waiting for a SAS set up.

nige Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 nice shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Look similar to my 93s shoes, but mine are 5 spoke and polished rather than chromed. I don't like chrome, but it looks good on your truck since you have the chrome bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pathfindero Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Those are the same rims i was lookin at for my path, looks like someone beat me to the punch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Les Schwab didn't suggest it. Schwaby does not provide after market anything to Pathfinders and they will not suggest anything... When I told them about my Calmini Lift they refused to do any type of Alignment or other type of sevicing due to it not being "Stock" Funny if it were a Jeep/Chevy/Ford/Dodge that they lifted for $2500 they would do everything..... Hipacrits. They will sell you a set of JGC even the 3" lift ones, just dont tell them what you are doing with them.... I did find a local Goodyear that sells a lifetime Alignment.... They were more than happy to do the alignment, took them 20 min and it came out better than Stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrano Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Looks crappy :oops: Take those shoes off immediately. OK, I agree to take them from you for free... just so you don't drive on the wheels THAT fugly. BUT! ONLY if you pay the transporting costs. I live nearby, in Russia... in the part of it that is close to China... it is just across the globe from you OK, speaking seriously, these wheels look really great :cool2: Nice shoes!
