Re: Compatible Alloys for X-Trail
Hi Glenn,
There is postive and negative offset allowance to the alternative rims that are fitted to the xtrail.

Re: Compatible Alloys for X-Trail
One thing that has not been highlighted in this discussion is that the diameter of the centre hole (called the bore) is also important. So, for example, Jalal's list (Jalal, can you give us the reference for this list please?) at the bottom of page 3 has
TOYOTA MR-2 92-95 5X114.3 60.1
as one of the compatible rims. But as far as I can work out it will not fit because the last number (60.1) is the diameter of the centre hole (measured in mm) and the XTrail bore is 66mm, or 66.1mm - I have seen both mentioned (does anyone know the exact specification?).
I would like to get 2 rims for my ride so that I have multiple spares when I go to central Australia. That means I am after exactly the same as what I already have, which is the standard steel rims. Their specifications are
15x6(size) 5X114.3(stud pattern) 40mm(offset) 66mm(bore)
Whatever I get will have to have exactly the same stud pattern and bore. The offset will have to be within a couple of mm and the size could be 15x6.5 and the tyres I have will still fit.
Given all this, you may ask why I don't just buy another rim from Nissan. The answer is that they wanted $270 each (and they said they were giving me a good deal). So why don't I get a second hand one from a wrecker? I have tried about 6 but nobody has one. So it becomes the question, what other cars at the wreckers will have rims that will work?
So far all I have found is
200SX 94>, 300ZX, Maxima, Serena 5 x 114.3 35...42 66.0
(which is mentioned at http://ausrotary.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=26681&start=20&st=0&sk=t&sd=a )
Does anyone know of any other compatible rims?
Alternatively, do any of you upgrading to alloys want to sell me a couple of your old steel rims?

Re: Compatible Alloys for X-Trail
Alex,
The centre bore for the exy is 66.1mm.
I have used a spacer with a larger size centre bore without any problems, but obviously the centre bore can only be larger and not smaller for them to fit the xtrail.
Was the $270 for a steel or alloy rim? If steel, you can find them at tyre shops selling for around $50 bucks, just ring around and they'd have them there.
Otherwise create a "Wanted to Buy" advert within our forum and am sure someone would have it and will be willing to sell it for you.

Re: Compatible Alloys for X-Trail
I had alloy or aluminium spacers with my 19" alloys Rich and never had a problem with them. They actually were permanently attached to the alloys after a while.
