I worked at a Nissan dealership in Parts. I


Called a rim/tire supplier as they had some 17 x 7.5 Nissan steel takes off listed on the website. Asked them what bolt pattern and if it will fit my vehicle. Guy says yea sure no problem. Order up

They arrive, I mount the tires and have been waiting 3 weeks to install them. A couple days before I install them, I find out, these are Nissan Titan 17" steel take offs, so I start doing some investigating and notice the hub bore hole is very small at 78mm. My Pathfinder is 100mm so obviously it cannot fit. Try to find some machine shops to hub bore it out and nobody wants to do it cause its a stamped steel rim or they want $60-80 each rim. I paid $50/each rim.

Fast forward to now, tire supplier will take care of me so I start researching and they have some Toyota Tundra 17" steelies for sale. From everything I gather, its the same 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern with a 106 hub bore, so will clear my hubs and a +10 offset. Pathfinders are a +12 offset so everything on paper seems like it will fit. Not sure if I use my existing lugs or need new tuner style ones?

Just wanting to have a backup plan in case it doesnt. What other make OEM rims will fit on my Pathfinder no problems?Just looking for some cheap 17" winter rim options. If nothing, my last resort is finding a wrecker with hopefully the stock 17" LE alloy wheels.
