Anyone know if 22's will fit on a 2002 nissan frontier xe crew cab. A guy told me that they may rub on the struts and they may cause transmission problems. Just need a second opinion any advice would help. + reps for any help

Dumb idea is dumb. It will be like trying to pull 44" super swampers on a 2.2litre 4 banger. Good luck doing the speed limit if it's above 50mph.

You're going to scrub, Your speedo is going to be way off, You will be making 19 point turns, And it's going to look like a tonka toy...

Doesn't look like a tonka toy to me. Looks pretty clean. I just talked to a guy at a rim shot, he says you have to get the right offset and he has never had a problem with frontiers.

Well I decided to go with 22's instead of 20's on my frontier. After talking to a lot of people I decided to go to a custom rim shop located in virgina, They specialize in nissan wheels. Just wanted to be sure that the offset and lug patter were 100%. They are guaranteed not to scrub or cause suspension issues or money back and they are backed by a lifetime warranty on the wheel. I'll post pics of it under the car pics section when they get here ( If anyone Cares). But for now here is a sample....

22x9.5 on a 265/35/22 tire

Did you get the 9.5's? Since you'll be pulling your boat?
