datsunon40s Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 looking for bigger wheels to put on my 620 kc what will hit what will fit .... I was looking at 18" escalade wheels, has anyone ran these on their 620??? what else looks good as far as cheaper than going to the tire store and spending 500 per wheel...... help?? thanks Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 what width and offset are you looking for? Nissan Titan wheels are common. 18x8, +20 (I think) and really cheap. I got my set for $150/four. I've seen them in Washington usually for $300-400 a set. You just have to wait until the seller drops the price. Seems that you would want zero offset though. Does your truck have factory disc brakes up front? OH, and yes people have used the older 17" Escalade wheels. I'm not sure if the Esky bolt pattern changed later on when they started using 18" factory wheels. The Titan and Frontier bolt patterns changed to a smaller 6-lug in 2005 I think. So you'll be looking for 2001-2004 approx Nissan wheels. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I ran Nissan Titans on mine. 18 x 8. Can't recall the backspacing offhand, but there are pic's with measurements in the FAQ link in my sig ;) The eskies should fit if they measure out the same. Quote Link to comment
datsunon40s Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 does anybody have pics of a truck running escalade wheels??? Just cant quite picture it ... thanks Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 The 18"s or the 17"s? Haven't seen one on the 18"s yet. A couple guys around here have the 17"s maybe they will post up some pic's. You could browse the picture threads as well ;) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Are these for your truck? It would just look like your 4x4 but with larger wheels and slightly lower profile 40inch tires. On a lowered truck, chrome 18's look something like this. I dont' think these are Escalade wheels ok, you updated your profile now. I see you have more than just the lifted Datsun 620.... 1 Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 titan and frontier still are 6 x 139/ or 6x 5.5 bolt pattern, they changed the hub bore to smaller bore, any gm 6 lug eskie wheels will work, u still have to bore out the hub bore, to 4", i believe datsun and most nissan hub bore is 3.75/ or 3 and 3/4", need 1/4" bore out bigger, u can get done at machine shop for about 25 / 30.00 per wheel, or get a 3.75" steel hole saw and a 4" steel hole saw put them together on an arbor bit and start cutting, i have done this and it works, u can use a 1/2" drive drill chuck or a drill press, either way make sure you have a way to secure the wheel, so it does not spin, drill on slow speed so to not burn out bits, and or damage wheels..:D this works good, drill from back side of wheels outward, so u don't damage face of wheel if bit slips, wear all protective equipment..ie glasses, gloves, pants, long sleeve shirt, u get the idea..:D Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Frontier wheels have been 6 X 5.0 since 05. I prefer to machine the hubs so that any 6 X 5.5 wheel will work on my truck. Quote Link to comment
dat620 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 i apologize for the wrong info on fronty wheels, i haven't had a fronty since 02, mine was a 2000 crew cab..:D Quote Link to comment

datsunon40s Posted April 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 pic of the eskies these arent mine but mine look identical they are 2007s Quote Link to comment
pope_face Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 The Escalade wheels would look nice, but I'd prefer them with a plain center cap (or with DATSUN written on it) and a nice powdercoat... Either powdercoat it all white or leave it chrome, then do the body colour in the indent on each spoke, and in between the spokes. I think that would look pretty slick. You already bought the Titans for your truck? They look good. The more I see them, the more I want a set myself. Quote Link to comment
datsunon40s Posted April 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I love my titans and am constantly getting compliments about them Quote Link to comment
HesS10 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I just picked up my 620 and have an 07 Esky. thinking hard about getting 24's for my Esky and slapping the 18's on the 620. has anyone seen issues with these rims on a 620? I ask because I am torn on just running some old Z71 16's and keeping it old school. Quote Link to comment
