A question so dumb I’m almost afraid to ask.

EDIT: nevermind the guy was confused they are actually 18” wheels.

I have a Nissan Titan with 265/75/18 tires, and it has 18” steel wheels. A guy on Facebook has a set of alloy wheels off of a Nissan Titan but they are 16” and have a set of 265/75 tires on them. I wouldn’t mind having an extra set of wheels for off-road use.

Here’s the embarrassingly stupid question: other than stuff like speedometer calibration and TPMS errors is there any reason I couldn’t use his 16” wheels on my truck?

My father is probably rolling over in his grave that I would have to ask such a stupid question.

The 16 incher diameter is 2 inches less so the truck will have 1 inch less ground clearance. Not exactly what you want for off-road use.

If they were an option for your year of truck they should work. Brakes on newer vehicles are getting bigger than can fit in 16 inch wheels on some.

What year is your Titan? What year is his?

Mine‘s a 2017. Don‘t know what year his was. The brake thing might be an issue. Mine has huge brake disks.

The smallest wheels/tires I'm seeing offered by TireRack are 17". My guess is 16" wheels may not fit over your brakes.

Titan never had 16" wheels that Im aware of.

04 first year (my year) had 17's.

I doubt 16's will fit.

 

[Elkins45]

It turns out the guy is selling them for his dad and got the size wrong. They’re 18s.

 

[CharBaby]

So then, they are the same size as yours? Get'em!

Hey! I resemble that remark.

If your Titan has 18", I'd only use those, and nothing more or less. Tons of geometry, calculus, and algebra goes into creating vehicles, down to the last millimeter.
