What hell wheel is this!!

[Beni C]

Ok guys,

Pop quiz, hopping I can get a quick answer. My 2008 ST GU has 17" x 8" stock alloys that look like the below picture with 275/65 R17 rubber, what vehicle would the same design rim come off thats has a 16" x 8" with the 275/65 R16 rubber??

Reason I ask? Cause my spare is a 16"!!!

Only thing I can suggest is google ROH alloys and see if they have something similar.

Got a pic of the spare?

[Beni C]

Not yet fellas, the boys at Nissan dont believe me but I have to email them photos tonight, will post up tonight when I get home. Was hoping that maybe some knew, to the best of my knowledge the stock alloys have always been 17's hey?

[nissannewby]

There were 16" alloys on the earlier models but these were a different design. As far as I knew the above pictured rims only came in 17"

[MudRunnerTD]

Yep 17 for sure! got a pic please mate

[threedogs]

Heres earlier OE 16" alloys, but powder coated off 2004 S3

Believe or not I'm pretty sure I seen these on a Prado. They look exactly the same. But I didn't pay attention to the size. Sorry.

The new patrols at work com with a 17" road tyre or 16" A/T - Im pretty sure the rims look the same.

Definitely different, the 16s have those indentations bear the wheel nuts, also looks like they have a bit of a ridge/step in the triangular part

That's what it's off.

[MudRunnerTD]

Did you just buy this car mate? Ask the dealership to swap it over as I don't think that would pass roadworthy like that? Guessing?

Thats an optical illusion Clunk, I double checked, that was caused by the camera flash. The rims are dead the same, one just an inch smaller than the other.

Double checked against my old boys D40 Gutsy, def not them!

Fighting it out with the dealership now Mudrunner, yep emails flying back and forth as I type!!

Stay tuned peeps!!

[MudRunnerTD]

ghee there is a fair bit of weight on the spare tyre too! Glad your giving it back to them ;)

[Clunk]

Ooooh look, a Navara with the same looking rims

Oooops sorry, just noticed, they're not quite the same


Tapping on the Tab via MC

On the top alloy pic the middle pattern doesn't line up with spokes, looks all out of whack. is it my eyes
Plus they look like they're off IFS vehicle, no dish to them

They won't line up TD, only five spokes and six holes

Way too early for Maths, tanks BTW, Just looks wrong to me

[Dmwlking]

yes navara had these rims

[Beni C]

The Nav rims are slightly different Dm, they have no square shape cut out in the top of the spoke like the Trol rims.

[Beni C]

So got the wheel swapped over and even Nissan are unsure what the 16" is off. They suspect a R51 Pathfinder but they look like Navara rims. It has baffled even them.

Regardless its not my problem anymore!!

So this was just a test thread WT. lol
What are you using as spare now a proper 17"x 8" patrol rim ??
