Looks like a blend of off road prowess with street corner biches!

It's a big adjustment from what you had, and changes the entire feel of a black Q. I give it

Have to say I wanted to be the first Q with the BFG muds - Congrats on beating me out for that.

[Qxxx4]

to be totally honest those look bad a**...i think your kind of feelin weird about it cuz their clean...get em a little dirty and youll feel great about them! hahaha those will look killer off road

[volp]

I give the rims a solid A. Not flashy, but not bland. Those tires are badass.

What happened to your left rear quarter panel & bumper?

[SnowSurfLax]

Love the tires, but hate the rims. Actually don't think they'd be that bad if the chrome/black intermittence didn't extend into the edge of the rim.

[Qxxx4]

psht thats what makes the wheel right there....his avatar pic is gorgeous...totally rugged looking. The best part is the tread, that is definately aggressive and the pattern of the wheel makes it that much crazier.

I dont think if he went with steelies itd look good, too much black, and its an infiniti u need a little bling.

Looks awesome man, nice mix of offroad and street. Def a good choice, and man those tires. I would clean your car though lol, the wheels are spiffy and the car is dirty.

whats the point man, hes got all those scars from baja, why get all clean and spiffy itd just look like a guy with a beat up q trying to be bling....if anything it needs more mud!

i dunno know what u talking about, the truck look lean and mean, i dunno whats ur problem, time goes forward not backwards so look forward, just don't scarp the rims pleease and the center cap looks good too, i wanted black rims with chrome lip but got the chrome for cheap

[zeeth2800]

first off, i dont actually have a QX4 or a pathfinder but rahter a 240.

2nd, absolutely love the combo...

thats my favorite aftermarket wheel right now and with the mud terrain tires your golden.

wish i could get something like that for... shall i dare say TOYOTA

[sixty4]

I like it! Its not the style I went for with my 22"s but if I was going for an offroad look I do like this. I say they look good an I bet NOBODY has anything like that on a Q.

That's allow right, not chrome?

[screwinitupagain]

....his avatar pic is gorgeous...totally rugged looking

lol those 2 things don't go together...

[Lars]

With no other chrome or polished metal on the QX4 it looks a little too 'Blingy' to me. Otherwise the size and stance are dead on! Considering doing the OME lift on my pathy.

[fueler]

thanx for all the comments guys.... by the way, the fender wells needed a little more than trimming.... they needed a full-blown bashing with an iron mallet (and they STILL rub!)

this thing never gonna return to stock, ever!

[fueler]

What happened to your left rear quarter panel & bumper?

I reversed into a UPS truck that had parked illegally behind me (and i was dumb enough not to pursue insurance compensation cause at the time i felt it was my fault)

So i slapped on a junkyard taillamp and painted the scratches so they wouldnt rust... the hole in the bumper is great to route a bike lock through, now i can lock my bike to my bumper whenever my hitch mounted carrier is on

[JHC828]

Fueler, I LOVE those rims!!! Exactly the look I was going for when I was looking for new rims but couldn't decide on a set... that's why I painted my stockers. If you decide to take them off, I call dibs!

[InfinQX4]

So basically you have nothing left in the front wheel well right? I can tell from your one pic how it's sitting with the wheel turned you must have had to do some major renovation in there. That seem to be a difference between the Pathy and the QX4 - clearance in the front wheel well. We have to deal with the lower bumper.

[coastal6.0]

looks good w/ the new wheels. i see alot of cats down here w/ those finish wheels except they're usually 22's on a grand am w/ a 2" lift. i also think the truck would look good w/ a set of rock crawler bars under the doors. just my 2cents.

btw jcpathy69, keep yours just like it is. its perfect the way it sits, not to cluttered. maybe ditch the brush gaurd, unless you come across alot of road obstacles

[carnal_c30]

I'm not much on new things, I like the old ones but I agree the stance is pretty hard with the new tires and sizing.

change is always good though, keep it fresh man

[AJRK]

I think those rims look good on your Q. Pretty rugged look, but nice enough for a night on the town. Good choice.

[NutsPathfinder]

Looks great.

lets just say this is the tools i needed

heavy mallet (preferrably with a rubber tip) (or a BFH) dremel with sander piece drill phillips screwdriver zip-ties strong knife (a box cutter will do) im not gonna post the specifics cause it becomes obvious once you get the tires fitted.... quick release (zip-tied) fender flares for the win!!!

[Adnan]

the rims look great fueler,a little on the flashy side imo but it goes well with your truck...definetly a great addition

[slickroger]

looks nice with those tires and i like the no step rail look on your truck, maybe because i did the same thing but i like it.
