What is a good 16" wheel for Wrangler DuraTrac tires?

Postby rangeoflight32 » Tue Mar 07, 2017 1:01 am

I bought these tires:

Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac
LT265/75R16
112Q C OWL
Rim Range - 7-8"
Measured Rim - 7.5"

And trying to find a 16" wheel that is compatible with the 2012 Pathfinder:

Bolt Pattern: 6x114.3 - 6x4.5
Offset: +30mm
Backspace: 5.5" (?)

I found some on ebay that seem to work:

But only really two different styles and they are both pretty bland. But I have some ebay gift cards so trying to buy on there, if possible.

How important is the "Backspace"? I don't see it listed anywhere in the specs for these wheels.

Thanks for any ideas.

Great tires I have considered them myself but I just don't need a tire that aggressive.

Go with the 16" wheels that came with the stock 2012 Pathy S model. Solid wheel and prob cheep on line.

Ok was not a lot of choices out there because of the unusual bolt pattern for the Pathfinder. I basically had two choices on ebay. Either the boring ones that came on the Pathfinder S or the slightly less boring ones that came with the Frontier/Xterra. So I went with the latter and probably will average me $120 each and not too bad.

Hay! I am insulted I have the boring wheels that came on the S model Pathfinder! .. Lol.. Just kidding they are boring! They do seem to hold up though.
