NISMO wheels but why no mention of the path?

No mention of the pathfinder... but they seem to all share the same factory wheels. The mention of non VDC models does raise a question or two. But of all the aftermarket wheels I've seen these seem to do the most for me.

hmm, that is kind of curious. Im not 100% on this but i think that the offset on the frontier and xterra wheels is a little off from the pathfinder which would give it a different fitment. I dont know about the vdc part though. ill have to look into that one

They should just bolt right on ..FYI they are they are built by Enkei .. .... I saw a set on e-bay a while back , and they were listed for the Pathfinders ....I dont know what the VDC would have to do with anything ....

the SE offroad (X and Path) wheels are the Nismo Fronty Wheels. They are all interchangeable, thus my confusion. I wanted the SE off-road wheels but 18x8.5's might fill in the fenders all pretty like with an OME lift.
Plus I'm pretty Anti-chrome so the polished aluim is more my speed.

NAKA thanks for the info, they look alot like the RT-6 wheels which come in a 18x8.5 (just like the Nismos) and a 6 on 114.3 bolt pattern. says they have a 0 offset vs the Path's +30mm (for 7-7.5" rims). For 155 a wheel it looks like a sweet deal. Anyone know the rules with offset? Sounds like these guys would fill in the flares or even pop out a smidge.... any chance of uneven bearing wear?

Yea, 0 offset would stick out a bit , wouldnt look to bad with a nice set of off road tires , but with street tread , it may look a little silly ....I was looking at the RT-S for a while , found a set in 17" ..but I went with the LE wheels instead .... You would have to test fit a 0 offset to see how it fit to be sure .... I wouldnt worry about wheel bearing issues ...guys put big tires/wheels on these and never have an issue ....
