: quick question..... rim size again.

I found 99 frontier 15" rims( stock) on craigslist
I have a 03 xterra 4wd 16" ( stock) rims

At a tire place, they stated that i cant put 15 " rims at all on a 03 xterra that has 16" rims stock as the brakes set up on the 03 xterra would inhibit the 15" rims

is that true??

I also want to triple check that rims from a 99 frontier would fit an 03 xterra. would the fact that the xterra is 4wd and hte frontier a 2wd have any issue on the rims fitting??

thanks for answer I'm supposed to pick up the rims today at 8pm

without knowing the specs of either of those wheels off the top of my head, even if you can get those over your brakes the backspacing/offset could give you some headaches if it's not reasonably close.

Just sayin'.


You need to consider all the specs.

Ahh i was under the impression from other threads that frontier tires 15 or 16" were a easy swap for xterra wheels 16"

Never saw info in regards to brake size etc...

wanted to pick these up so I could throw winter tires on them....
