Hello all,

I have a few questions relating to this...unfortunately, it is not possible to get into contact with the original owner so I come to you all to get your expert opinions.

I have an '01 Xterra with Rims from a 86-92 Nissan Pathfinder.. i have seen them nicknamed Legos and can be found

I was wondering if this is okay to have on an 01 Xterra. I have seen that '02 Xterra Rims can fit on an older Pathfinder.. so I am assuming its not a problem.. if it is please tell me

The second question is that the car originally pulled to the right.. then the front tires were switched and it pulled to the right side SIGNIFICANTLY more.. to the point that it was not drivable. Is this indicative of a faulty rim? How do I check if a rim is true?

thank you for your time

not a problem, all old nissan pathfinder/pickup/xterra/frontier rims are the same bolt pattern (6 x 5.5) with the only variations being rim width and backspacing/offset

i know someone with those same wheels on an xterra

a machine shop can check the rim to see if it is warped, a tire shop might even be able to do it..
