I'm looking to buy a set of rims off a friend. the wheels are 20 inch 6x139 lug pattern and have 295/45/20 tires on them. will my truck take these tires without any modification to make them not rub? I'm a little worried to spend all the money and then not be able to use the tires. also 6x139 is the correct lug pattern right?

sorry for the nubee questions...I'm really new to this...(still have stock rims)

thanks

you got it right just make sure theres a 4" centre bore and a 3.5"-4" backspacing,the profile will fit perfect its the exact same as mine but your width will give you some rub when turning, my 275's rub in the front when turning to the left at full lock but not the other way, even then its just hitting the plastic in the wheelwell and I never turn that much unless im parking into a tight space

Would like to see how they look! Let us know how it turns and post pics if you get them. I just installed 295/45/20's on my Audi and I dont think they are going to fit well on your Pathfinder without some flare trimming/front bumper cover trimming. But it may not be too bad with the right offset. Plastic is really easy to trim though and still maintain stock look.
