Car: R50 Pathfinder Q swapped

Post

Hi, I swapped the power leather interior, overhead console, woodgrain dash, Bose speakers, leather door panels, front end body,(hood, bumper, grill, lamps, fogs, flares etc) running trim, rear flares, rear lamps, rear bumper cover, mud flaps and related trim, and 4 side door outer clip on panels from a doomed "Clunker Program" buyback 99.5 QX4 onto my 99.5 Pathfinder XE. All but the rear hatch door. still looking for that from an 03/04 Qx4...

All of it was straightforward enough but the 3 spoke wheels from the Q seemed to sit differently on the Q in relation to the flares (depth-wise) than my 5 spoke XE wheels do on the Pathfinder in relation to the Q flares after install.

Is this due to an offset variation, or the hubs being different as the Q was AWD and the Pathy is 2wd?? Both trucks have 245 60 16 tires. I wasn't a fan of the 3 spokes so I let them go, but I don't like the "stance"(I hate that word... lol) of the body kit as it hangs out significantly over the Pathy Wheels.

Anyone have any knowledge of what may be the issue? Thanks!! -Brian

No issue, just different wheel offsets. Probably depended on whether the vehicle had fender flares or not. All QX4s had fender flares if I'm not mistaken, but not all R50s did.
