QX4 center caps on Pathfinder wheels?

[patqx4]

Hey everyone, I'd like to know if 97-00 qx4 center caps will fit into the 17" Pathy LE wheels. I'm trying to buy a set for my qx4 because I just like the style of the wheel better, But I don't want nissan badging on my infiniti.

So, will these caps:


fit into these wheels:


either the whole cap, or just the black part. anyone know?

[patqx4]

It looks like the black centers may fit, but to save $ I will probably try to paint the nissan ones black and glue my current infiniti logos to them.

[SBK03SE]

You'd have to file the nissan logo down too..

[patqx4]

so the nissan logo is not detachable? bummer. I'll let you know what I come up with. I'm driving up to Montreal to buy the wheels on tuesday.

[SBK03SE]

Yea, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's all one piece.

[patqx4]

Got the wheels on the truck, they look great! Already got started on the center caps too, and to my delight once the nissan logos were popped off all that was left were 4 small holes. easily fillable;


Filled the holes with jb weld;



Once fully cured I'll sand them down and apply a gloss black enamel paint, then wait for my vinyl infiniti stickers that I ordered on ebay to arrive. My next update will be the finished product on the truck

Ah, you live and you learn. I deserve a big fat facepalm. Glad it worked out!

[patqx4]

^Thanks bro!

What's next with the emblems? Nissan necklace? Nissan charm bracelet? haha

[patqx4]

junk drawer I'd imagine, if anyone on here wants them, just msg me.

This forum is so quiet now, it seems like there's few of us left after that recall.

[PJSnow]

well i'm still here but that was a great idea. how much did you spend on the pathfinder rims?

[patqx4]

I paid $350 plus traded my crusty old qx4 wheels + new but cheap tires, for these great condition wheels plus brand new bf goodrich rubber. Very nice tread pattern on them, Ill post some pics soon. And thanks

I sold my 20s as i bought a mustang for summers, im desperately trying to find these LE wheels for my q! I always hated qx4 wheels and i was wondering about the badging so this is a great thread

[patqx4]

Got 'er done;

Hi Patqx,

Sorry, but I coudn't get a message to you through the forum. If you still have those chrome Nissan emblems that came on your center caps, I could sure use them. You can reach me at [email protected] if you'd like to make arrangemnts. Thanks - Dan.

they look awesome.
black lug nuts will look awesom-er imo

[patqx4]

Thanks guys, interesting thought alfredo, but I don't know where I would find black lugs.

[Camelfilter]

That came out nice! Thanks for sharing.

hi patqx4,

Thanks for your reply, Just wondering if you can tell me the size of the tires you installed on the 17 inch Rims on the pictures above .are they 245/ 70 R 17 or 245/ 65 R 17 , if you dont mind telling me I would really appreciate it since im about to finish the center caps project and after that i will buy 4 new Bridgestone tires for my QX4.I just want to make sure that they will fit in my SUV without problems. Thanks in advance for your support and kindness.

[patqx4]

Just use the stock tire size for the 01+ QX4. Idk the size off hand.

[fatman023]

Realize that this is an old thread, but I'm considering doing the same thing and was wondering if you needed to do anything due to the different offset of these wheels? or was this a straight swap?

thanks!

[patqx4]

Straight swap.

Those stickers you used aren't available anymore, what would I search for as an alternative? Looks great!
