Nissan Patrol / Safari Y60 / GQ wheel fitment
The Y60 uses a large centre opening to clear its hubs. Factory narrow-wheel and wide-wheel versions differ substantially in offset, while community off-road builds commonly use 15- or 16-inch wheels.

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Patrol / Safari: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Lifted truck wheel fitment: backspacing, 33s, 35s and trimmingPlan larger truck tyres around lift-kit requirements, backspacing, steering and articulation. Compare 33 and 35 inch tyres without assuming a lift guarantees clearance.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.

33-inch off-road
- Front and rear
- 15 × 8 inch, ET-22 · 33x12.50R15
Sold as a GQ package and consistent with forum builds. Requires checking lift, bump-stop travel and flare coverage; also check clearance if the brakes have been changed.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- Nissan's Y60 workshop manual specifies a wheel-nut torque range of 118–147 Nm. The single-value torque field is omitted rather than choosing an arbitrary midpoint.
- Some wheel sellers round the hub opening to 110 mm. Use a wheel explicitly approved for the Y60 and check that it clears the hub.
- Negative offsets increase track and can require wider flares. Test clearance through steering and articulation.
- Stock configurations vary by country, body and trim; the listed packages should be checked against the vehicle placard.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

Questions
What is the GQ Patrol bolt pattern?
It is 6x139.7, with M12x1.25 wheel nuts and a nominal 110.1 mm centre bore.
What torque do Y60 wheel nuts need?
The Nissan workshop manual gives 118–147 Nm. Follow the wheel and fastening instructions for the actual installation.
Can I fit 33-inch tyres on a GQ?
33x12.50R15 on 15x8 wheels is a documented off-road choice. Lift, flare coverage and clearance at full compression still need checking.
Will any six-stud Toyota wheel fit?
No. Matching the stud pattern is only one check. The wheel must also clear the Patrol hub, brakes and suspension.
