R50 wheels on first gen X

Post by Oldyeller »

Iv'e spent days searching the internet for the answer to this question but I couldn't find a definitive answer so here goes...
I'd like to know if 2003 Pathfinder LE six spoke 17" wheels will fit my 2002 Xterra.
I know the bolt pattern is the same and I think the center bore is the same but I wonder about front hub clearance. Can anyone tell me for sure?
I tried attaching a picture but I have no idea how.

The 17" Pathfinder wheels will need to be bored out to fit over the Xterra's front hubs, if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks Simon, that's kind of what I thought. I'm also looking at a set of S/C wheels but the seller isn't returning my emails... The search goes on.
FYI I'm looking for 16" or 17" aluminum to replace the 15" steel O.E. rims so if someone can help, let me know.

I finally heard back from the guy with the S/C wheels, looks like I'll end up with them.
Thanks for the help.

Good choice. I looked forever for those and ended up getting 1st gen X alloys for my R50.
