Wheels (sic)

Yes they will. As long as you keep to that tire size they will. I have seen them fitted to a navara locally to me and they look tops. Even better then they do on the patrol. They also sit nice with the gaurd.

Just keep an eye on the wheel nuts, I have a mate that had them rims and the front left came off twice at Hwy speeds.

Patrols are well know for the alloy rims coming off.

One member got defected of the road even though nissan said his car was compliant after he changed from steelies to alloys.

Being bigger and heavier they'll probably sap a bit of power to.

If you end up going down this road can you post some pics and a bit of feed back, cause I've been interested in putting those exact alloys on for some time, would be much appreciated

Click the link i posted above, its a search of the Patrol forum for "wheel fell off".
Mostly seems to happen when people change from steel rims to alloys but use the nuts that held the steel rims on. Apparently the nuts are different.

Yep, heard of that before. The nuts are different with a different mating face on the mag, usually has a flatter face. Make sure you use the nuts that come with the wheel. Also check the hub hole for the hub is the same diameter or the weight of the car is sitting on the studs and not the hub.

Never hurts to use a tention wrench when tightening the wheels.

Patrol wheels have a 110 centre bore and D22 Navara are a 100mm centre bore but not a problem as the bore is only used to assist locating the wheel onto the studs and it is the clamping force of the wheel nuts that hold the wheel on and no weight of the wheel is taken by the centre bore hole (the axle would have to be pressed through the bore if it were to take any weight). Some vehicles don't even use the certre bore at all to help locate the wheel. Nissan said that the wheel falling off issue was due to incorrect reinstatment of wheels with the nuts done up with the studs not centrally located within the holes but as a solution fitted wheel nut indicators to patrols with alloy rims on every second nut under a recall. I have the 16x8 series 2 patrol alloys on my navara and bought 2 sets of Nissan wheel nut indicators (12 in each set but wanted one on each nut) of nizzbits on this forum as some added reassurance, they look quite nice, chrome with nissan writen on a dial that you turn to all line up the same direction.

I used the chrome ST-R Navara nuts. Nissan use tapered wheel nuts on all there alloy and steel rims on both the Patrol and Navara.
