I have fallen in love with these wheels :bow:

 

at Courtesey Parts

 

I was going to wait to do the wheels and tires, but, they are on sale...$100 bucks off...

 

I have a 95 SE...

I think it is the same bolt pattern >> correct me if I am wrong :shrug:

 

However, I think that the backspacing would be an issue.

Is the stock backspacing 3.0 or 3.5 inches?

...and 39mm is only an inch or so, so I think I need wheel-spacers :shrug:

 

Oh, one other thing...what is the metric eqivalant to a 31-10.5-16?

 

Thanks

Everybody I've seen that has tried to fit the newer generation Nissan wheels to the (W)D21s has had to use wheel spacers. Something about the right backspacing but the wrong offset? I haven't seen them in person, but I think the minimum is a 1/2" spacer, I'll try to find that info again...

Same bolt pattern but the offset is terrible for our trucks. Basically if it's a daily driver it will look silly because the wheels will be too much in, and at any kind of real flex your tires and wheels will hit the frame. I have used once a 17x8" wheel off a Supercharged Fronty/Xterra and i wasnt able to put a finger between the frame and the tire. That's how close it is. You'll need a spacer, but in all honesty you can probably find a better wheel somewhere else.

 

If you really want some slick stuff take a look at the teflon Chambers:

Thanks guys,

 

I realize I might need a spaceer, but how much?

 

Here is a link to a quick search I found on eBay:

 

eBay Wheel Spacers

 

I guess I have to choose between plates and adapters....

I like those wheels that you listed, however I am hooked on the Nismo wheels.

I have a 350z with silver Volk wheels....It would be kinda fun to duplicate that :)
