i have an 85 nissan kingcab, i want to run escalade rims. im wonedering if its possible to put these rims on my truck. i have seen them on the newer hardbodys and heard that all i have to was grind something down on my hub to make them fit. any info on putting these wheels on my truck would be highly appreciated. because my pathfinders are too small, want 17's.

They will fit, you will have to bore the center of the rim for it to fit properly or some people use a wheel spacer that you can pick them up for about $20 from pep boys.  Dont grind down the hub.

hey dude ive got an 84 nissan reg cab and i put some escalade rims on it. it took i think like 2 days for them to boar them out n it cost maybe 100, 200 dollars. but its worth it if u ever sell them to somebody else with a mini truck. i also got them to powder coat them black n theyre pretty hardcore lol good luck tho

if you dont order them specially for a nissan, you have to bore them.....i dont think i have ever seen a non-aftermarket rim that u didnt have to bore.....is there any?

yes u can use ur stock lug nuts!! on my hardbody with the z71 wheels which have the same back spaceing and bore on the hub i just put a couple of washers behind the wheel to make do for a while on the back. and basiclly if u got a drimnal tool or small grinder u could do the job ur self!!!!!!
