Tires Wearing Fast

@David in TN , I'd recommend using hubcentric ring adapters 66.1 to 64.1 mm. I also would build up the inside of the Nissan rims a little (I used JB weld) so that the rims are more flush with the hub (the hub ridge is deeper on the Nissan than it is on the Honda).

 

Thanks! I'll certainly see about that.

@David in TN , here is a post with some photos of what I did to my Nissan Maxima wheel to get happy with the hub fitment. I might have overkilled a little "doubling" the depth of the hubcentric ring by cutting the flange off one ring and putting it inside a full ring with the flange. It helps to see the difference in the two rims if you can lay one of the original Honda rims and one of the Nissan rims side by side face down to see how they are different where they fit the hub. That's what make me want to build up the interior of the Nissan wheel to make it more flush with the hub.

Edited to add:
Also, Honda uses a radial (semicircular) base to the lugs, whereas Nissan will have either conical (acorn) or mag-type lug design. You should change out your lug nuts to match the type that originally came with the Nissan wheels.

 

I have a variety of lug nuts. Using conical on Maxima wheels.

 

Excessive toe causes wear across whatever surface of the tire meets the road. It’s a constant scrubbing of the surface of the tire.

Camber will determine if the inside/outside/center is more prone to wear.

I think that is true for the most part. But take it to the extreme. If the wheels were toed-in 90 degrees which part of the tire would be worn the most? Yes, the outer edges. I think to a lesser degree than camber, toe-in will cause slightly more wear on the outside edges of the tires and toe-out will cause slightly more wear on the inside edges.

In Georgia, large portions of the interstate highways use a coarse aggregate. It is a lot more expensive to lay down, but acts the same way as having tread on your tires. Most other roads are topped with small aggregate. If makes for a smooth surface and quiet roads, but is very slick when it rains.

 

I would agree in theory especially if camber was fixed. But middle tire wear in this case would change my opinion.

I am having the same issue......excessive wear.....except mine are wearing on the outside.....
