I have done some research on this but i can not find any good information anywhere. Does anyone know what the stock offset on the 2015 pro4-x trucks are and how much the wheels weight?

I am looking at getting either some XD Bombs which are 30mm and i would like to know if i will be ok with that. The other option i have are the XD addicts at 18mm.

Has anyone ever run or currently do run any of these wheels or similar offsets and have major or any rubbing issues.

The truck will have a 2 inch front lift and 1 inch rear lift. It will probably be mounted on 285 and 18"wheels.

Thanks guys

Thanks, i do not recall if those are the same as mine (mine are 6 like the picture below the url) based on the back but if they all say what the offset is on the back i will crawl under my truck today and see if i can find out.

Appreciate all the help sir. What year are those?

Well it says +30 on the wheel that's on your truck. So your current wheel is +30.

...Unless you meant "running 30mm or 0mm" as a question for the new wheels you're looking at, if so then it all depends on how wide the 18"s are. Try using one of the many wheel offset calculators available on the internet and plug in the numbers to see what kind of fitment situation you're looking at.

Thats what i meant. on the Wheel it says 30 so i assume thats the same as +30.

The wheel i want has the option to run 0 offset or 30mm which is the same as stock but the wheel itself is 18x9 vs the stock 16x7.

I will look for one of those and see what i can find.

Thanks

7" wide wheel with 30mm offset works out to 5.25" backspacing. So, 1.75" of the wheel sticking out past the hub.

9" wide wheel with 30mm offset works out to 6.25" backspacing. So, 2.75" of the wheel sticking out past the hub.

You'd effectively have 1" more wheel inside and 1" more outside. As long as you clear the ball joint up front and don't rub the inner fender liner in the rear when you flex the suspension, this would fit awesome.

If you do the 9" wheel with the 0mm offset, you're going to have big problems. That'll give you 4.00" of the wheel out past the hub and you'll start rubbing like crazy on the body panels.

Thanks for all the help. I figured that with too much wheel sticking out i would have a rubbing issue with the fenders. 18x9 at 30mm seems the best reasonable way to go.

I know it will require minor mud flap trimming and minor melting in the front fender lining. Now if it clears the ball joint i do not know. My math came to about 2 1/4 inches vs 2.75 but yours is probably right. Hope i do not have any fender rubbing issues.

I hope my local shop can advise me on whats best because the other wheels options i have are 25mm and 18mm offsets but all 18x9. Our bolt on pattern truly sucks. YOU HEAR ME NISSAN! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! lol

Yes I cannot understand why they were already using the 6x5.5 pattern just like Toyota and everybody else, and they decided to change it to some weird one-off bolt pattern for the 2nd gen trucks. I just don't understand why you do something like that. It makes no sense. GM has the worst auto engineers in the industry and even they don't do stupid stuff like that.

When you get your wheels and tires on there, post some pics!

I do not see any benefit to making that switch either besides being a pain in my rear end. Limits our wheel selections a lot. Luckily some companies are nice enough to sell blanks and drill whatever pattern you want. I really wanted fuel wheels and had to set for XD.

I will probably create a mini build thread like every does and put all the pictures and info on there.

I just need to find out now if i should get my speedo calibrated or not. not sure of most people do that and who they take it to. I'm trying to be very careful about not loosing my warranty while doing all of these things so i am not sure that i should have the shop do it or let the dealership themselves do it.

The speedo on your trucks are electronic and not mechanical right? cause if i am not wrong the mechanical ones require the little gears.

more stuff to worry about. and need to figure out what brand tires.

I thought the Dodge Dakota and Durango uses that bolt pattern too.

I believe the main reason they went to 6x4.5" is so they can use the same hubs as a bunch of there mid size cars. They just had to drill an extra hole.

Yup. Unfortunately all the available wheels I've looked at that were marketed for Dakotas/Durangos... aren't things you want to see on a Frontier. lol

I have not seen anything that i am looking at for my frontier in dakotas or durangos.

I know Fuel has 2 or 3 wheels that fir our truck and XD has a bigger variety but even so its not so great.

I will say this, now that i have stopped to think about all that goes into lifting trucks. It is not as easy as i originally had seen it to be.

Would you say an 18x8 would be a better and safer choice to go with vs an 18x9 running the stock 30mm offset?

probably less chances of rubbing in the fenders in the rear but not sure about the ball joint.

In my opinion, yes. But I like 8" wheels better anyway because they fit tires from 235 to 285 width and just look and work better. They are the "do all" wheel width.

Good to know. If they fit 285 and have the size i want than i'll rather go safe and do that.

I was not quite sure about the 18x9's.

Thanks for all the help

it's long but if you want to figure out what you can fit, you'll get a lot of your answers from this thread.

I have sen that page before but it's old and does not have a lot of the current stuff i have seen that fits the trucks.

Thanks for the link anyways, i will make sure to update my findings when i get it all done there too.
