Will these pathfinder wheels work?

Does anybody know if these rims will work on my 2nd gen 4rnr? The ad says they came off a pathfinder. Heres the ad...

Thanks for any help.

Pathfinders have the same 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern as Toyota. So, yeah, they'll fit. Assuming the ad is correct.

should work just fine well first see what the back spacing is that can be done with a tape measure and a piece of wood across the wheel

I just picked the wheels up for 100 bucks today. They are in good condition, and have 3 3/4 backspacing. I beleive thats 1 inch less than stock, so they should work with 31x10.5 tires considering people run 32x11.5 with no problems.
One thing im concerned about though is the size of the hole in the center(where the hub goes through). They look bigger than they should be, now that i look at it. They have aproxamatly a diameter of 4 1/4 inch. Is that the size that it should be? I think im just being paranoid.

better too big a hub hole than too small eh?

Nice 2 door-I just spotted one in junkyard down here if you need any unique parts. Like shouldn't yours have the rear tire carrier?

good score on the wheels and tires

You'll be fine with the larger bore. Some wheels are 'hub-centric', meaning they fit the hub tightly. Those are not that way. I've run two sets of the steelies on two different 2nd gens with zero issues. Post some pics when you get them on.

You will be fine, as long as the hub isn't too big, cool lookin' wheels for 100 bucks though.

All right thanks guys, i dont know why i thought it needed to be tight on the hub, i must of been thinking of hub centric wheels i guess.
I got a new set of lug nuts when i looked at those 33s i almost bought(Another post).
Im pretty sure they will work, Its just the taper on the end that will make them not work? Thats why i had to get new ones. I bet one of the 2 sets i have will work.
