I installed new wheels and tires on my 2007 Nissan Xterra!! Black Rhino Chamber!!

In this video I lay out the specs for my wheel and tire combo along with giving an overview of the ceramic coating process. One addition that I have done since purchasing the wheels is getting some hub rings. The hub for the Xterra is 66.1mm and the bore for the wheels is 76.1mm. I like using the rings because it helps me to align the lug nuts better when fitting the wheels. If you have any questions about this video please leave them in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

Looks great man👍🏾

[@TheNonnell]

Thanks! I appreciate it. Many more upgrades to come.

[@PinPeatHD]

Look Awesome!!! Great video! I'm thinking to get new wheel on Pro-4X also. Thank for sharing.

[@TheNonnell]

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment. What type of wheels are you looking to buy?

[@PinPeatHD]

@@TheNonnell oh I like Method Race Wheel 16x7 Black

[@TheNonnell]

Nice! I like Method. Good choice.

Looks awesome 👏

[@TheNonnell]

Thanks! I was on the fence about buying these wheels, because you never know 100% how they'll look until they're on. After installation I've been very pleased.

[@Mindamasta]

@@TheNonnell no rubbing issues aside from the area in the fender well mentioned in your video?

[@TheNonnell]

That is correct. Again, I only notice it whenever going full lock side to side. Usually, Nissan owners will do what is called a melt mod to make clearance for that small rub, but so far it hasn't bothered anything. Just a slight audible sound under full lock.

[@uno3863]

Can't go wrong with the black rhino's, I have the black rhino's shogun on my 2012 tacoma "16 with -10 offset in black to match the rest of my truck, on 265/75/r16 toyo open country rt trails 👌🏾😎

[@TheNonnell]

💯. They definitely set off the truck.

[@trevorcorysmokesletsgo]

I have a 2008 and I bought it with aftermarket rims n tires. Bf goodrich a/t and I think the same size. They rubbed, so I heated the wheel well plastic and molded it a bit. It worked! Then last year I had to get new tires, got the same and it rubs slightly due to more tread. Now I just let it be lol

[@TheNonnell]

Yeah man. As I'm sure you've noticed it isn't that big of a deal and doesn't happen all the time. I didn't think it was worth the effort to get that small amount of plastic pushed back. Hardly even notice anymore. Thanks for sharing.

[@CeciShaw]

The car look great with the new tires. I like the size of the tires also.

[@TheNonnell]

Thanks! The fit and look is exactly what I wanted. I’ve really enjoyed them.

[@joshuafrank9084]

Awesome set up , have you noticed any damage to the tires over time from the rubbing, or have issues going over rocks bumps when the wheel is turned or just going straight? would you recommend getting 265x65x18 tires? thanks!

[@TheNonnell]

Thanks for the comment! I have not noticed any damage to the wheels/tires from scraping against the fender lining. Also, I haven't noticed any rubbing going over objects. That being said, I haven't done any off-roading on this setup to where I would be at full articulation of the suspension. It looks like the 265/65r18 is very similar to the diameter of what I'm running now. I would assume that would be alright. If I'm not mistaken, I stayed away from the 18s due to lack of options and price. Best of luck!

[@JB-fp9yv]

Looks great! I'm guessing your spare is the full size you took off. Any concerns about size difference if needing to use it?

[@TheNonnell]

Thanks! Yes, my spare is OEM. I plan to replace my rear bumper with one that has a tire carrier so I can fit a new full size spare. Hopefully no flats between now and then. 😬

[@MegaGregor44]

I dont know enough about ceramic coating a new wheel so is it for protection of the wheel? I was really happy to see this after the tire shop said I could not go up toa 17 inch wheel without a lift

[@TheNonnell]

Ceramic coating is for some level of “protection”. It offers protection for the paint on the wheels. It doesn’t protect against rock chips or curb rash. Also, it makes cleaning the wheels so much easier. It’s probably overkill, but I really like these wheels and wanted to take extra care of them. Beside the little rub at full lock, I don’t have any issues with these wheels. Also, you could look up how to do the melt mod which everyone talks about and that would take care of the rub. Best of luck!

Hey awesome video! Just bought an 08 S and was looking at slightly bigger tires/wheels. 275/70 or 75 is what I'm thinking. I'm in NC too, there's some good trails in the state

[@TheNonnell]

Thanks! Bigger tires is definitely where it's at. In my opinion it really transforms the look of the X. Where in NC are you? I'm outside of Charlotte. I've been to Uwharrie a few times, but haven't really been anywhere else to try trails yet. I'm hoping to get out and do more wheeling this spring.

Those are sweet wheels.. Do you know if they come in 16" I'd love them for a winter set. And the melt mod is really nothing at all.. you won't even need to do too much of it.. Did you swap your seats.. I have an 07OR as well but not that seat cover (you have an SE is guess.. anyhow.. again nice wheels.. Btw most Xterra owners with OR, go with 285-75-16..

[@TheNonnell]

Thank you! I love my wheels. I think they come in 16, 17, 18, and 20 inches. I have not swapped my seats. My Xterra is an "X" trim. Not sure how the seats differ, but that is what I have. Thanks again for the comment and best of luck getting some wheels.

[@chengchang7932]

What about 33or35

[@yonglor5317]

Was told these wheel requires spacer to clear the front caliper. Did you have you use spacers?

[@TheNonnell]

Good question. I checked multiple websites before I bought these wheels bc I was unsure of the fitment. Fortunately, I can say that for my 07 Xterra and this set of black rhino wheels, they fit perfectly. There isn’t a huge amount of space between wheel and caliper, but there is clearance and I haven’t had any issues.

[@vgaleana5132]

Hey bro your Xterra look really good I have a 2010 I would like to get the same set of tires & rims can you tell me the size & rim model thanks 🙏

[@TheNonnell]

Sure. 2:00 minute mark of the video I believe I cover the specifications. Thanks!

[@sphinxone1518]

Anyone know a rim size for a stock 2010 i want them to poke like 2 inches

[@TheNonnell]

I don’t have a specific size for ya but if you know what offset the OEM wheel is then you can determine how much poke you’d get by the aftermarket offset. Zero Offset The hub mounting surface is even with the centerline of the wheel. Positive The hub mounting surface is located in the front half of the wheel closer to the wheel face. This tucks the entire wheel in toward the brakes and vehicle suspension. Positive offset wheels are generally found on front-wheel drive cars and newer rear-wheel drive cars. Negative The hub mounting surface is located in the back half of the wheel closer to the back lip flange. This moves the wheel out away from the vehicle brakes and suspension. "Deep dish" wheels and wheels for lifted trucks are typically a negative offset.

[@RelentlessDH]

Lift? I just got an xterra and want some new wheels and tires but not ready for a lift

[@TheNonnell]

I haven't installed a lift yet, but it is in my future plans. I've been looking at Nisstec for some possibilities. No need for a lift with this setup of wheels and tires. There is a slight amount of rub, but it's very minor.

[@LS-DAVID]

What lug pattern are the rims are they 6x5.5?

[@TheNonnell]

I believe they’re 6 x 4.5”

[@_moes_garage_]

What was the tire size beforehand? My 2006 Xterra says 265/75/16 is the stock size

[@TheNonnell]

265/70 R16 was what came on it. I think that's standard across the board for these vehicles. I definitely prefer the upgraded wheels and tires I have now. The look with the aftermarket wheels fits the Xterra so much better.

[@_moes_garage_]

@@TheNonnell oh wow so that +5 in the tires aspect ratio really made a difference.. nice!

[@TheNonnell]

@@_moes_garage_ I’m not sure what you mean but I’m running 265/70 R17 now. The wheels made the most difference with their offset. They make the Xterra look more muscular.

[@tylercorkum3569]

I was thinking about putting 285/75/16 on it, I don't know if it will rub or not

So, that’s close to a 33in I believe. You’re running stock wheels? It may rub. Those are larger diameter than the wheel/tire combo that I have now and mine rub a little.

[@xisotopex]

how do these new wheels differ from the stock on the xterra?

[@TheNonnell]

The wheels have a different offset, causing them to slightly protrude. To ensure a precise fit, a hub ring is needed. Additionally, these wheels are wider than the standard ones. I love them.

[@xisotopex]

@@TheNonnell do you know what the offset is on these new wheels? thanks! hope you are enjoying this nice weather here in El Cakalaky del Norte!

The tire you picked is almost the same tire height that came stock on the Off-Road and PRO-4X models according to the tire charts that I’ve seen.
