Re: Compatible Alloys for X-Trail
Hi Guys,
My set of T30 16" alloys and tyres were sold to an owner of a T31 that has 17" wheels. They fit perfectly as I told you previously, so if you are finding it hard to find compatible A/T tyres in the 17" range or finding them very expensive, dropping down a size to 16" is the perfect solution.

Re: Compatible Alloys for X-Trail
Hey guys, I picked up my Murano rims today and firstly did a test fit on my t31 and they are good both front and back.
 
Anyone thinking about these keep an eye on ebay, there has been 3 sets in 4 weeks with the highest price being $200 for the set.

Re: Compatible Alloys for X-Trail
Steve,
There is currently a set of 18" Murano alloys on eBay selling for about $300 bucks from Tempe Tyres. It's a very good price indeed if you want to fit 18" alloys on your ST and they are also 4WD rated, unlike many other alloys which are not.

Re:
Hi Andre,
It could be 45mm, but in terms of fitting alternative alloys that are 40mm, it won't be a problem at all, as there is an allowance with the factory alloys and won't cause any rubbing.
You can check the impact of the offset using THIS tyres and wheels calculator.

Re:
Im running 18" Munaro rims with 245/50 Khumos
been researching the 3% diameter rule for new rims/tyres. Seems that typically if you go for a running diameter exactly as stock fitted(per calculators), you will be running 3% on the safe side for indicated speed verses actual speed, for legal reasons. All new cars work on this figure.
Therefore theoretically, disregarding speedo error( which is always on the safe side, again for legal reasons), if you run a 3% larger diameter combination, you will be indicating much closer to actual speed!!
As tyres wear, diameter decreases and becomes "more tolerant" to error as speed will over read.
There are a lot of other factors as well, tyre temp, load on tyre etc... but overall why not run as close as the upper limit as possible where what the thing reads is correct!!
This is a win/win situation as not only is the speedo indicating actual speed, and in any case buying less expensive tyres(higher profile 50 V 45) in addition you are saving 3km odometer reading per 100 km traveled and get a softer ride.
Just my thoughts....
