What thread size does the Nissan Pathfinder use?

Catalog records for the Nissan Pathfinder list lug nuts with M12 x 1.25 thread.
What is the wheel lug torque on a Nissan Pathfinder?
Catalog records show 113 for the 5×114.3 variant and 133 for the 6×114.3 variant. Socket size is not inferred from thread.
Is 5×114.3 the same as 5×4.5?
Yes. 5×114.3 and 5×4.5 describe the same bolt circle: 5 lugs on 114.3 mm (4.5 in). Use either notation when comparing wheels.
Is 6×114.3 the same as 6×4.5?
Yes. 6×114.3 and 6×4.5 describe the same bolt circle: 6 lugs on 114.3 mm (4.5 in). Use either notation when comparing wheels.
Is 6×139.7 the same as 6×5.5?
Yes. 6×139.7 and 6×5.5 describe the same bolt circle: 6 lugs on 139.7 mm (5.5 in). Use either notation when comparing wheels.
Can I use wheels with a different bolt pattern on a Nissan Pathfinder?
Only with a bolt-on wheel adapter from the vehicle pattern (5×114.3 or the other recorded pattern) to the wheel pattern. Adapters are directional. Confirm thickness, center bore, thread, stud engagement, clearance, and load rating. Hub swaps and redrilling are not equivalent shortcuts.
What adapter do I need to change from 5×114.3 to another pattern?
You need a directed adapter whose source pattern is 5×114.3 and whose target pattern matches the wheels. 5×114.3 to another circle is not the same as the reverse unless the catalog lists both directions. Pick the target on this page; thickness is not chosen automatically.
What wheel spacers fit this bolt pattern?
Spacers must match the vehicle bolt pattern (5×114.3 or 6×114.3 or 6×139.7). Choose thickness for clearance and offset. Matching the pattern is not a claim that a given spacer fits the vehicle.
Do I need hub-centric rings on a Nissan Pathfinder?
Only when the wheel center bore is larger than the vehicle hub. Catalog records show 66.1 mm. Rings fill that gap. They do not fix every vibration issue and they do not change bolt pattern.
