15" pathfinder wheel specs. & wire wheel info.

Here's a pic of my truck with 15" pathfinders. I was told that they are 15x8 with an offset of +42mm. Could someone confirm if this is correct? My tyres on it now are 205/55R15.

I'd like to get wire wheels for my '93 HB BUT I dont want to get 4x4 sheet metal and still be able to tuck! Is this possible? Anyone done it before? If so, what size wires & tyres are you using? I have 2" Belltech drop spindles as well and was told that the smallest wheel I could run was a 15" rim. I'm also in Canada if that makes any difference. Thanks to all!

wow, let me help you out alittle, what are you trying to ask here? if you can run wires? (spokes are for bicycles) and if so what size are you wanting? most gangstas run a 13x7, which youll be on the ground, and not tuck anyway. youve got drop spindles, and yes you cant run anything smaller than a 15 inch wheel. so write more info on this and tell us all the info, it is hard to help without knowing what you want

well if you want to know what the width of the pathfinder wheels that you already have. take one of them off and look on the back side of the rim is should be stamped on there somewhere. as far as the backspacing measure from the lip of the rim to the spot that rest against the rotor and you have your backspacing.
most wire wheels companies make them in alot of different sizes so you shouldnt have a problem finding some that will tuck.

I guess that I gave too many details, so let me use the KISS system also known as Keep It Simple Stupid LOL

15" Pathfinder wheels are:

15x8 with an offset of +42mm True or False?

Thanks! to kelly (crewcabondubs)for giving me a way of finding out

Yes I want wires, 15" deep dish would be my first choice, if not, standards.

The question was to find out if someone with an HB like mine was able to fit some on his/her truck without having to get 4x4 fenders. And if so what kind of Wires/Tyres combo did you use?

Ok. I did not use the KISS system.Thanks!

well if your wanting wires i would imagine you would probably want something wide like a 13x8 or something like that with a huge neg offset so they stick out and since you are prob wanting wheels like this you won't need 4x4 metal because you prob won't tuck anything

FALSE. Pathys are 15x6.

You will not tuck deep dish wires even with 4x4 fenders. Maybe with standard offset, but if standard offset is 15x8 and 20mm, then no, not even with 4x4. The only set of wires I've ever seen tuck on a 6 lug truck were true knock off with FWD offset.

For import 6 lug trucks, you need at LEAST 32mm offset on a 7 inch wide wheel and at least 39mm offset on a 7.5 inch wide wheel, 45mm for an 8. As far as I know, no one makes this offset in six lug wires.

Pathy's are 15X7. Can't answer anything else for ya.

only if you measure lip to lip. The bead adds 1/2 inch to each side of the rim. I bought a set of 97 style pathfinders, from the nissan dealer, new in the box and they came with 15x6 labels.

why not a set of decent billet 17s that will tuck a little with stock sheetmetal and look alot better then wire rims.

Thanks for the information Russ-D! The Pathys you're talking about are like the ones pictured? (see beginning of my post ^^^^^^^ for pic)

And thanks to everyone else, you're basically confirming what I was thinking. If I want to tuck wires, I'll need to be more creative with allot more work since that I do not want the classic lowrider look with wheels sticking out.

It looks like I'll keep my Pathys for a bit longer and work towards other upgrades for the time being

Thanks to all!
