I had a style like the “tall” acorns in the second pic, but they were not that tall. As far as I know there were only two OEM styles, a small acorn like I had, and your top pic which was for steel wheels. As far as I know all the aluminum/alloy wheels (PRO-4X, SL, Midnight, SV) all uses the same tiny acorns I had. Maybe it’s just the pic but I certainly would not describe what I had as tall like Z1 did. And I def didn’t have the top ones, those are for steel wheels and I’ve seen them used in that application.

Nope: just found the short versions on Z1 and they are literally called that. These are definitely what I had and I know the midnights used them too. Not sure about SL or SV. SL is basically the same wheel as a midnight so I’m guessing it uses the short ones. SV maybe uses the tall ones, I dunno.

the main problem with the short ones was the lack of bulge seat, which is Problem on the tall ones too. The Nismo cone seat is larger. Bulge seats from mcgard seemed to be a better fit that gripped the wheel better. I’m sure either can work, and I did drive 150 miles on my short ones with the Nismos, but when I took them off and refastened, it definitely did not feel right.

there are the ones I have, looks like they’ll work. I’ll update later when I have them mounted

Probably, as long as that flange at the top of the cone doesn’t tighten down on the wheel. Doubt it will, but something to check.

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.

So you think it only rubs due to the mud flaps? Im looking at similar size 285/70 but the K02 and was told they fit but will rub full lock when compressed.

Thanks. And truck looks great!

Yes will rub on mud flaps, when I picked it up it was noticeable, but over a couple of drives it was less noticeable. It actually started trimming itself haha. Remove them and you got no rub. I did a u turn, and had to go on the side walk and no rub. Anything bigger will rub. Was going to go 285/75/17 but that would’ve definitely rubbed unless you had a lift or major trimming.

 

[ElusiveAura]

you planning on a lift or spacers or anything?

Posting a few pics of the Nismo Off Road Axis wheels on my 3rd gen since I couldn't find any on street trucks when researching for myself. While I enjoyed the design and darker color of the Premium wheels, the faux beadlock look just wasn't my bag of doughnuts...

Despite the Nismo wheels appearing smaller in diameter due to spoke/face design, both wheels are identical in size and offset at 17x7.5 +30mm. The Nismo wheels, however, save a staggering 8-lbs of unsprung rotational mass per corner (give or take a few ounces for valve stem and balancing weights).

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

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 will be putting the bfg ko2’s on. Not sure how they compare but did notice the 17” tires are a bit more than the 16’s $wise.

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.

I’ll trade you, my 3rd Gen P4X non-beadlocks for your Nismo.

Where ya located? Doubt I’d actually go through with it but it would be interesting to try.

Currently my long term plan is refinish them in bronze powdercoat which I think I would really like.

 

[Jtruck22]

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.
