I’m with you on the wheels. Part of the reason I didn’t go for the premium package. I think the Nismo look much better. Like the look of you truck so far.

Curious as I’m now looking for a bed cover, which one do you have there and how do you like it? Looks like the style I want.

 

Thanks... I have the Tonno Pro LoRoll from the 2nd gen... Took a lot of finessing to make it work.

If I can find some black beadlocks , my Pro4x wheels will be available. Wink wink @v24design

Oh, those old things? They're listed on local craigslist for sale...

 

Whatcha doing with your black beadlocks huh ?? 😉

 

Looks great. I really like the Nismos on my 2nd gen. I like that Nissan kept the same wheel specs on the new truck so you can use anything from either platform on the other. I kind of think the 3rd gen standard pro4x Non-beadlock rims would look good on my second gen. I like that most of the 3rd gens are 17’s also which is the perfect rim size IMO.

where did you find black lugs and do you have any part numbers? if srick does not make you an offer on the beadlocks maybe we can work out a deal. I would be interested to know what the weight of my SV wheels are? guess I will have to remove them to find out.

 

Got the black lugs off Amazon. It's a 24pc spline drive kit in M12x1.25. Generally lug nuts indicated as "tuner style" will have the taper needed to seat properly on lug-centric aftermarket wheels... The factory Premium wheels also accommodate a tapered seat, so that should work as well.

You can message me regarding the wheels if interested, they're still available.

 

Sick!! Those look awesome!

 

I’m looking to get the Nismo wheels too! I’m located in central CA. if anybody is interested pm me. Selling with tires.

 

I’m not sure if the third gen uses the same lug nuts as the second gen but I would imagine they do. The stock lug nuts “worked” on my axis wheels but the coating on them was getting rubbed off pretty bad when torqued to the wheels. They also didn’t have a bulge seat so it was almost as if the taper seat in the Nismo rims was larger than the lug nut seat. They worked to drive on but something about it didn’t feel right which is why Z1 recommends going to others. Myself and a few other people on FB said the same thing too. I was one of the first people to have the wheels and when I took them back off to redo the torque (I never trust discount tire torque), first thing I noticed was how they didn’t feel right.

Also the stock nuts are so tiny that it’s hard to get them onto the lug stud with the deep holes in the Nismos. I ultimately bought a bunch of McGard M12-1.25 bulge seat nuts which are longer and the bulge seat is what the wheels seemed to really need for proper fitment. Keep in mind this is all on a second gen, but considering the things Nissan reused on the 3rd gen, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the tiny stock lug nuts are reused too.

 

Gotcha, looks like theirs three types of oem lug nuts. Do you know which ones you had? I also ordered some off of z1, but they are on back order. Not an issue for me, but someone is supposed to drive up from socal to pick up my current wheel set. If it works I’ll run them until I get the z1 ones in.

 

Looks like we are good, 285/70/17 on stock wheel dimensions slightly rubs upfront, but if I remove the front mud flaps looks like it will clear

 

Man that looks great! I really love these wheels on both gens of trucks, Nismo did a really good job with them.

 

Dude that looks great. I have the s trim and been looking into these rims but I am worried that the wider width of 7.5 vs 7 as I have now would make issues ...how is the clearance in the back of the wheel to the spindle ??? Basically no space? If you could guestimate how much space you have id appreciate it or did they have to do an alignment afterwards ?? I just cant see a wheel that close to the spindle being alright for folks who want bigger tires .i am having a hard time finding info on all of this

 

what's size tire you want to run?

 

 

Hey man I love them nismo wheels I have the same truck as u are the nismo center caps with the red in them about same color as the new Nissan logo trim color I’m all about matchin

 

 

I’m seriously considering these new Nismo wheels for my 2018 pro4x. I’m currently running the stock 16 pro4x wheels but am curious as to how different the truck will ride with 265/70’s on 17’s compared to the 265/75 16’s. I gotta think losing 1” of sidewall has to make the truck handle better. The possibility of better handling and the fact that they look bad *** makes me pretty sure I’ll pull the trigger. I already have an offer from my neighbor to buy my wheels if I upgrade so that part is taken care of. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with both sizes and can give me some insight. Cheers

Didn’t really notice much difference in handling but I do like the wheels a lot. Of course handling is very much going to depend on the tire you choose. My Michelin defenders are kind of bubble gum-like. They are pretty soft and give a good bit on turns.

 

I am hoping they eventually offer these in black. They do look great in grey but I want to stay with black wheels.

*edit The grey looks amazing with that blue. Wow.

 

I'm looking to order the Nismo Axis myself. Was there a consensus on correct lug nut for Gen 3? I have the base non-premium alloy wheels.

 

Still 6x4.5(114.3)

 

@Truckin we do apologize that we where not able to assist you where you originally requested information, however @Chicky_Hines is spot on. Nissmo wheels are made to fit with factory lug nuts and do not require an aftermarket lug kit. Looking forward to before and after pics.

 

I just picked up a Pro4X in Baja Storm Metallic. I am having a hard time deciding on what wheel color to go with. I honestly prefer the Bronze over the Graphite but not sure how the Bronze wheels would look on my truck. Anyone on here have or have seen the Bronze wheel mounted on Baja Storm Metallic truck?

 

@volky151 congrats on your new truck! Very exciting. This was the only Baja color I could find. Hope this helps.

 

Looks great

 

I dropped off the truck this morning to have Nismo wheels installed. The service manager just called me... she claims that the TPMS sensors on the OEM wheels cannot be installed into the Nismo wheels without a special seal...of course the seal is not available and will have to be ordered. They will mount my wheels today but I have to take back for install of TPMS. This will be done at an additional cost to me. Does this sound right?

 

I would have told them to hold off on swapping wheels until the seal shows up. There's no point in swapping the wheels and then having them remove the wheels again to install the tpms. That gives them an excuse to scratch the wheels.

 

Sounds like something they might have known before getting in too far. If you opted to proceed that might be on you.

 

sounds like you need a new tire shop

 

This was at my local Nissan dealer/service center.

 

All good now.

 

Glad it worked out. Looks really good on your truck
Just disheartening on the B.S. some dealerships pull.
