The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
That's interesting as to get steelies to fit I had to go to the 16" -23 kings, nothing else would git over the front calipers except the original alloy wheels.
Thank you very much guys for that informative information about the offsets. I think I think might just drive the MQ all the way to brisbane and fit 1 on the back and front to make sure they are all good before I purchase them. Have a nice week "PATROLLERS" LOL
Referring back to story about wrong offset rims supplied new from retailer.
That maybe a common practice, She'll be right, he wont know the difference or notice!!.
Lucky I fitted the spare back on and did notice the stamped offset, fronted salesman that it was not as ordered, he came good.
Some may say, so what! wanting oem specs offset to help ensure less chance of the dreaded wobbles, bump steer issues etc.
Yep offset may not directly cause a wobble but when ya add up any changes to geometry it may help combine to , m2cw.
In the end settled for GQ ti alloys for the std oem offset and quality brand name tyres, +90 000 k's later still steers like new , albit mainly Rd k's.
