Hi!

So recently I came across a set of these wheels for sale. When I look them up on Courtesy Parts it states that the wheels are for 2000-2004 Frontier/Xterra with the V6 motor. However, it does not say V6 ONLY.

My question is will these wheels also fit on a 2003 Nissan Frontier King Cab XE 2wd? I know the lug pattern is the same but I am mainly wondering if there are any differences between the hubs on the 4wd and 2wd Frontiers. I love the style of these wheels and would just like to verify they will fit before I purchase them.

The part number is 4030S-RSD2010

Thanks for any and all help,
Blake

Bolt pattern, center bore are the same between all the frontiers of your vintage. Offset is 40 vs the 20mm.

However from what I can tell the 4030S-RSD2010 is a 6 on 4.5" bolt pattern of the newer frontiers not the 6x5.5" of your truck.

So that would put my bolt pattern at 6x139.7 right?

I emailed the guy and asked him what the bolt pattern was so I'm just waiting for his response. The pattern should be on the inside of the wheel. If he says they are 6x139.7 then they will fit?

Did you ask him the offset? the stock wheel for your truck is a 20mm positive offset. From the link I posted the V6 comes stock with a wheel that has a 40mm positive offset.

More positive offset for the same width means that the wheel will be closer to the suspension.

Will it fit? Most likely. Am I absolutely sure. NOPE.

Okay guys just wanted to come clarify in case anyone else ever looks for this.

I was able to fit the wheels ONLY after installing 1-1/4" thick spacers. The spacers came with 14mm studs over the stock 12mm so you will need additional 12mm nuts and the size is M12x1.25. They fit great now and I think look awesome!

Here are some pictures, enjoy!

Was the space to push the wheels out to compensate for some offset difference. Or was it to change bolt patterns (bolt circle diameter).

Is it me, or does it look like this has a caster problem?

Does look like the wheel is set pretty far back in the well. Those 2wd still had the front suspension tension rod setup. The bushing might be way old and compressed.

Yea, there is definitely something a little bit off.. Cannot quite put my finger on it. I had the tires professionally installed and aligned and they didn't mention anything out of the ordinary...

It was to push the wheel out to make up for the different offset.

Truck still drives straight and the ride is nice so I'm not sure what could be going on.
