Ive got an old Nissan truck with 15" rims and I don't like them, go figure eh.

My first thought was to buy a set of rims from an afetrmarket dealer but I don't have the $ to get the ones I want.I believe the bolt pattern is 6x5.5 inches. I have thought about Escalade rims but they are worth big $ too. So my other thought was a set of 18" from an Armada they are more in my price range.

Does anyone know if they'll fit or have any info on backspacing and bolt pattern? If the tire will rub the inner fender with them on while turning? Or will they hit the inner fender on bumps? Has anybody actually done this before?
Any help would be great.

note: My plan was to go with a low profile setup.

For anyone interested I emailed a guy on ebay and he said they wouldn't b/c they have a smaller center bore.

I am glad you found an answer. I found my wheels on eBay (OZ Type 88). I would have liked to fit them prior to purchase, but that was the chance I took. They worked out well in the end. Toyota 5 spoke steel wheels look great on a Nissan, if you are in a pinch. They are cheap, too.

Actually I did a search today and found a set of 20x8.5 rims for a Pathfinder. Real nice but they are real cheap, cost wise, it seems to good to be true.
Check them out. Don't know if they will fit though.

CHeap price generally means a cheap rim. Cheap rim means they are more likely to bend and to have their finish break down.

Toyota alloys fit great too -- I'm running a set of late Tacoma 15x7's on my '94 Pathy. The have a 4 5/8" backspacing, making them ideal. You need Nissan 12mm x 125 lugnuts (for alloys) to mount them.

I've bought a set of 19 inch wheels for my Lexus off the guy selling these (DOHCcivic). He always has decent prices and seems to be trustworthy since I got my wheels shortly after paying for them. I just thought I'd let you know.

I put 17" rims from an Infiniti QX4 on my '95 pick-up. They do rub a little on the inner fender when you turn but they look nice. They're the 3 spoke wheels.
