this is a topic i just cant figure out. no matter how much reding i do i cant figure out which size rims will fit on my truck. i need to get them in a 16x8. i dont know what the bolt pattern size is and what the back spacing does. here is the site. i have a 2001 and if some one could just tell me which ones will fit i would feel a lot less stupid.

I could be wrong, but I believe yours are 6x5.5". (correct me if I'm wrong)

Item: 260-3977860P (second from bottom under 16x8)

Pretty much backspacing makes your tires stick out.

I was in the same boat as you, didn't really get it. But this page helped a lot!

The wheels you are looking at are the exact same ones I ordered for my 05 and they did not fit because of the design of the wheel. All the numbers were correct (number of bolts, size of bolts, distance of bolts, backspacing...etc) but still didn't fit.

Find out what your backspacing is, might be able to find that in the manual or ask another person that owns an 01.

do we think these are going to fit or no. because if not american racing makes a nice rim. but the problem is its not gonna be 45 dollars

JOSH, these rims from the site you posted should fit.
260-3977860P
Soft 8 397 Series Wheel
Finish: Black
Size: 16'' x 8''
Bolt Circle: 6 x 5-1/2''
Rear Spacing: 5''

i believe the rear spacing on xterras it 5 1/2". also i think most stock rims are 16X7. but these will work. i hope i was some help to you.

Stock wheels are 5 1/2" backspacing.

Stock wheels are 5 1/2" backspacing.

so the 5"backspace ones should work on his then right?

thanks a lot for the help i think im just gonna order them and pray that they fit. i think i should be ok with the 5inch back space. my stock rims are 16x8. is that not normal?

Yes Josh, that is normal.

The problem I had with the rims were the caliber was too big with the design of the wheel.

When you order from Jegs you pay shipping back if they don't fit. So I would recommend ordering 1. Go to a local place and see if they can just test it to see if it fits correctly. Once you mount the tire, you keep the wheel. So DON'T mount it! Just put the wheel on the truck and check spacing. If they don't fit, then it only costs you like $11 to ship it back to them.

Just my 2 cents mate.

thanks think that is actually a much more economical idea

They have 2-3 day shipping to most places in the country. I got mine in 2 days and I'm a little north of you. So you shouldn't have a problem.

josh are you swapping you current tires to these rims? or are you gonna buy new tires also?

no im gonna swap my old tires onto them. but as soon as i can afford another set im gonna put them on the new rims and keep the ones i have now on the stock rims and use the ones now for daily driving and the new ones for offroad

sounds like a plan. i leave my mud terrains on all the time cause i do construction and i wheel on the job site all the time....lol
