use this site to give you specs on how your wheel/tire will sit when you get them

you enter your stock or current specs first then your aftermarket setup and click calculate, then view your results spec chart on the left under where you just entered your data

So I picked up the wheels and they are one of the last sets of 98-6868 left In the country. I tried them. On tonight and they are lug centric and I finger tightened the lugs only and could see them starting to center right up. If I hit them with the wrench I'm sure they would center right up. The stock lugs have a 60 deg taper and the lug holes have the same. Looks great and will have awesome poke. Pics to come of the bare metal rims mounted on the hub.

You can see from the front and rear pictures how much the wheel itself pokes out compared to the front tire. In a week or so I will get the tires switched out and be rollin on steel! And bash the front fenders in. Lol

Nice! With the poke, just be careful on the tire size - even the 285/75 can get into the fender lip (right above the hub) with a 2" lift. I've seen it happen if you've got the tire stuffed while offroading and flex it out (lift a rear wheel). Those are similar to the specs from the ProComp 7089 which was one of the few/popular choices for our bolt pattern around 2006/2007. A lot of Xterra/pathfinder/Frontiers ran them as they were one of the few aluminum wheels available with an aggressive fitment.

Well.......

I went to the shop today and found out that I should have tested the wheels on the FRONT of the pathy as the calipers are much much bigger there.

Wheels don't fit the front but fit the bank with space to spare.

Quick call to 4wheelparts and I got a set of 1.5" spidertrax spacers arriving tomorrow.

Those things are going to poke out a mile. Lol. Don't care though, if I need to cut I will be cutting.

Anyway, she's spending the night at the shop and getting done tomorrow afternoon, here's a pic of the poor thing all laid up.

Oh and by the way, do you guys like the plasti dip job?

DiBo · Postby **DiBo** » Sat Feb 18, 2017 10:59 am

SO got the spidertrax.com spacers and my wheels on. Going for a set of husky liners long john mud flaps to make up for the poke. I trimmed the front fender and simple pushed the liner back in and used a self tapping screw onto the Rocker panel and held it nicely against the cut edge. Comments please,[/img]

So it's been like two days and they are realy growing on me but it is kind of missing something, new tires coming this summer.

But I think some coverage is lacking but I like the stance. So this is what I'm thinking

Love the wheels and improved stance!

DiBo · Postby **DiBo** » Sun Feb 19, 2017 12:57 pm

Omg I was scared for a bit that no one liked it or it looked dumb. Lol

Thanks for the comment, got any thoughts on the flap flares?

C'mon guys, what do ya think of the setup?
Looking for some serious opinion.

Thanks

I have to be honest with ya man it's not my thing. I am just not a black wheel guy I like them aggressive truck aluminum type. Just me..

I love black wheels. I ran some black pro comp steels on my explorer before I got the pathfinder. I was wondering if I could get 15s on this, but if you can't fit 16s the answer is obvious. I would have probably gone with a little more backpacking personally. I don't like my tires to extend quite that far beyond the wheel wells, but that's just personal preference. How much trimming have you had to do on the front end? I can see there's some cutting.
