I like them and think they are one of the better combinations of width and offset for our vans. Advanced 4x4 had a black NV on their site with these same wheels running 275 width tires. I don't remember if they were 70 or 75 series. I think you'll be fine.

Oh yeah. They work fine with the center caps.

Alex - The TPMS worked fine, but I did have a problem with the stud length. I started another thread about that. I guess I should have linked them together. I just needed some extended shank lugs to take care of it. Here's the other thread: http://nissannvforum.com/topic/1076-stud-length-with-aluminum-wheels/ I can get part numbers for the lugs and post it later.

That's poor form, Breeze.

We've had the same beeping issues with our 2016 SL. I did what some others have suggested and removed the frame, then drilled some new holes in the plate to mount it to frame mounting holes. It very rarely beeps without a reason now.

I don't think you'll damage the transmission as long as the engine is still running. The engine-driven fluid pump should still be lubricating the transmission.

I don't know about the potential for damage from coasting in neutral, but you're probably not saving fuel if that's your motivation. The fuel injectors are often shut off in a coasting situation - meaning zero fuel flow. In neutral there is enough flow to idle the engine. Just a thought...

There is a rear AC unit and fan - at least on the passenger vans. We have a 2016 SL and the air is weak out of the rear ceiling vents. I'm not sure how the ducting is routed, but it seems that the air is strongest out of the ceiling vents that are nearest the front of the vehicle and progressively weaker as you go back. It's probably a case of the air taking the path of least resistance. The second row gets plenty of air from the dash vents. We usually close off (or partially close) some of the ceiling vents toward the front to get stronger air flow to the rear. The other thing to consider is these vans have a lot of interior volume. There is a lot more air that needs to be cooled down compared to a minivan or a SUV. We used to have a full-size Ford and it was similar. That said, I think Nissan could have done a better job of balancing the flow on those rear vents. Good luck.

Mark, I can't think of anything that makes a similar sequence of beeps in my van. The front sensors are usually single, random beeps. You could turn off the bluetooth on your phone to rule out that interaction.

It works on some other models, so maybe they planned to add it and changed their minds. Thanks.

Here is a link to some factory Nissan service manuals if you are interested. http://www.nicoclub.com/nissan-service-manuals

It probably depends on your driving habits and load. It might be OK if you drive mostly in town and don't tow anything. I have to drive a lot of 2-lane highways with 7 people, so I chose the V8 for extra passing ability.

Yeah, that's the site is where I found the Cd numbers. I don't think the regular Titans weigh that much according to Nissan. The Titan XD is closer in weight to the NV, but the XD doesn't get EPA ratings. Here's an interesting video I saw this summer where they compared the fuel economy of a Titan XD gas vs diesel. They tested them both towing a trailer and unladen. http://www.tfltruck.com/2016/07/diesel-still-mpg-king-2016-nissan-titan-xd-gas-vs-diesel-towing-mpg-review/ In the 100 mile highway loop at 70mph, unloaded, the gas truck got 17mpg. Maybe it would have done better in a longer test? I guess we'll find out when the 2017s start rolling out. :)

Not sure how accurate it is because it wasn't from Nissan, but I found some info that said aero on the van is worse than the truck. Van Cd was listed as .36-.40 while Titan XD was listed as .34. That coupled with the extra weight should mean lower numbers than the truck. My guess is that 8% improvement number that's been thrown around might be close.

Thanks. Ford has them available for the Transit, so I'm a little surprised Nissan doesn't have anything. Aabel - I thought the Aluminess set that you were working on looked pretty good too.
