I've got the steel 15x7 rims on my Xterra currently, and I'd like to upgrade to the OEM 16x7 alloys. I'm wondering if they'll fit around my auto hubs, or if I'll need to do some material removal on the center bore?

Every place I've found selling the alloy rims only specifies them for 2001-2004 Xterras.

Tried to do a search for this on three different forums but did not have conclusive results. Thanks for the help.

Also, I'm debating between BFG AT KOs, Pirelli Scorpions, or Kumho Road Venture ATs or SATs for tires. I will be running dedicated winter tires once the snow flies, with upwards of 20 feet each winter I'd rather have something designed specifically for ice and snow.

Any suggestions other than the BFGs will last a lot longer?

They will fit just fine, and the only thing that will last longer than the BFGs would be solid rubber, that you could keep cutting new tread into.

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to getting rid of these bald Long Trails.

Pirelli Scorpions are utter crap. Avoid them at all costs. Otherwise, to granitex you listen.

like yoda you speak http://www.elforro.com/images/smilies/yoda.gif

I have a friend who has the Pirelli Scorpions, and he says that they are terrible on his gravel road in the middle of the summer, if that gives you any indications of what they will do for you in the winter.
