so to recap......
17 wheels seem to have a better availability of tire sizes out there, hence the attraction.....
From what Im gathering from above, titan hubs are pretty much a no go unless i want to convert a bunch of stuff in the front a rear, which I dont. I have no desire to do custom axles etc at this point. I found a 6x4.5 to 6x5.5 conversion spacer, and looks like that is 1.25"....so with the difference in toyota offset would mean 4runner trail wheels would stick 2.25" further than standard Xterra wheels, which Im pretty sure would stick out a good bit past the fenders...which I do not want. lol. 1" spacing is about all I would want.
Not trying to be difficult, just don't want to get that involved with this project..was hoping for an easy/quick fix....at the end of the day I can just run 285 75r16 like everybody else and get by.
I also didn't realize that other second Gen Xterra models came with a 17x7.5" wheel.

If I decide to go with a beadlock wheel, the best bet would be to try and get some folks from thenewx onboard and have hutchinson make a 17x8 in the bolt pattern and offset we need. I cant imagine that would require much work on their end with a multi piece wheel.....
The education on the items discussed was informative. Thanks guys.
Edit:
and of course the first gen had a 17" 6x5.5 -__- 40mm offset. I found a set of 1" pattern adapters...so 8/2 = 4, 40mm = 1.57", = 2.43 + 1" for the spacer has me at 3.43. That might work....
