I have a 96 hardbody 2wd, it has wheels that came off of a 97 pathfinder but the back spacing isn't correct. the tires rub my leaf springs. does anyone know what the standard back spacing is for wheels on these trucks?

i don't know off hand and thought i could find it, but can't. just call over to a tire shop and have them look it up and tell you. probably 4 or 5".

I've searched around but couldn't find it either. Calling a tire shop is a good idea. THX.

The 4x4's have deeper backspacing due to wider wheels and longer axles.

you'r stockers are probably 15x6's with not more than 4" of BS.

When you think about 4" of BS...that's enough to cover your shoe and get some on your sock too

Pathfinders are coil spring rearends.They have an extra 46mm.of space.A tire shop can get you some 1/2 inch spacers to cure your ailment and they're cheap.
