Rim Size

[YellowX]

I am looking at some rims for my Stock Xterra, this is what i was looking at and I was mainly concered with the offset. Does anyone know if these will fit? Here are the specs.


SIZE PATTERN OFFSET BSM CAP LOAD
16x8 6 on 5.5 +2 mm 4 1/2 N/I 2100 lbs.

Thank you in advance

Based on the 8" width and +2mm offset, those should have about 4" backspacing. Not sure what the "BSM" spec is but I figure it's the backspacing, they claim 4.5" there. I know there's some fudge factor with offset vs. backspacing, so I figure that's it.
I'm sure they'll "fit" but that's with regard to the wheel only. What really matters is what size tires you're wanting to put on them, and what, if any, lift you have on your Xterra.

Those wheels will limit your tire size choices considerably, moving the tire centerline outboard by an inch at least vs. the stock wheels.

OffroadX, thanks for the reply.
I don't have a lift on my X right now and the tires I was going to put on are 265 70 16, which i believe are 31's.

When you say it will limit my tire size choices considerably what do you mean?

Thanks

The 265/70-16 (31x10.50) is the factory size on the 2002 and newer model, and of course it fits perfectly with the factory wheels. On a 2000 or 2001, a 31x10.50 does not fit without some mild trimming of the flare behind the front tires, again with the factory wheels (from any 2000-2004 Xterra).
Changing the offset/backspacing will make it considerably harder to fit the 31x10.50 size on a 2000/2001, requiring more aggressive trimming, and will likely require some mild trimming on the 2002+ model as well. The more the wheel deviates from the factory offset/backspacing, the less clearance there will be. I think it would take a really funky wheel to make fitting a 31x10.50 tire a real chore, but what you're looking at should be reasonable.
