X-Trail Wheel and tire info - Page 2

I was told at my tire place that the X-Trail uses a 30mm offset, which is uncommon among aftermarket wheels. They suggested 35mm was close enough, and widely available. I'm sure 40mm would also work, but try for 35mm.

Mine is the XE, and I managed to snag another set of steelies from a dealership which took a set off an XE in the showroom, and bolted on a set of 18" alloys. I met the parts guy around back of the dealership, gave him $300 cash, and drove away with the steelies. Everyone else wanted $95 + tax per. They are now mounted with Gislaved Nordfrost 3 snows. If you think this SUV does well in the snow with AWD, try a good set of chunky snow tires, like Nokian or Gislaved (not Michelins). The grip is unreal. There isn't a winter weather condition in Southern Ontario that I can't handle (knock on wood).

I'm planning on Winter tires already to replace the all seasons, thats why I'm scoping out extra rims

I have the Nokian Hak Q's and they are great!

Thanks for the info on the offsets. 35mm are mnore common, and would give the truck a slightly wider stance. Which would not be so bad.

I wonder what the Altima or Maxima factory offsets on those wheels would be?

5X114.3 as mentioned above... Offset per Nissan is 45. But it will take up to 35 (flush to fender). Anything lower (like mine is at 15) will cause the tires to jut outwards. Something that makes the X-trail harder to keep clean since water and mud is splattering all the way up to my windows.
