Didn't really know where to stick this thread since I have a couple of questions.

First,for you guys that run Pathfinder rims on your truck,do any of you guys run,or know if the stock chrome Mazda centre caps fit?

Next up,on my Rodeo,I run stock sized 235/75/15 tires. My fuel gauge wire has rotted at the connection at the gas tank and now my fuel gauge doesn't work,which is no big deal,I just know to fill up before 450km. Anyways, I'm supposed to be getting a set of 31x10.5x15 all terrain tires on rims from a friend. They're obviously bigger,and will probably put off my speedometer,and because it reads the wrong speed,it'll eventually add up with incorrect milage,so I'll have to recalulate how many km I can go before I have to fill up again,and what my actual speed is. Anyone know how to do these calculations or anything?

And one last question,the aforementioned 31s...would they fit on a Mazda with no suspension mods? They're wide,10.5",they're on a Pathfinder right now and stick out past the fenders. I'm just wondering,because I've been having lots of problems with the Rodeo lately and don't know if it will last me the winter,so if it dies,I will have to pull out the Mazda and god forbid,drive it in the snow. Since it's 2wd and totally useless,I figure the 31s may help a lot with traction,and look cool as hell before I lower it in the spring.

weird. 31s are so tall, that will look interesting
I dont know if that will fit without rubbing, have ya tried to test fit them yet?

If ya do it take a pic fer sure I'd like to see that

here's the only pic I have of them on my friend's Pathfinder which is on Autotrader right now....$2500 and 310 000km as is. I think he's asking a little much,but the body is mint.

oh awesome,thanks I'll check that out. I just ordered some Cooper Zeon ZPT 195/50/15s today for my Pathfinder rims. $110 each.

holy crap,I lose almost 3 inches of diameter going from a 195/75/14 to a 195/50/15

Negative on the 31's fitting - they are too big.

yeah I ended up not buying them because the Rodeo is dead. Hell,I dont even think the 235/75/15s would fit.
