Thank you

Hi Rich, as MikeGC has mentioned you should have No Problems as all Nissan Wheels have the same dimensions, Hole size, pitch circle diameter, number of holes, Centre Bore etc..... Take a look at this attachment it should help you to double check if needed, we use 17” Winter & 19” Summer on our QQ as an example - Dave 😊

They'll fit no worries. The 19s are a fraction shorter in circumference, like -1.1% so 60 mph would be 59.3. Speed is picked up off the ABS or speed sensor in transmission, unsure if the ECU will work itself out but if it feels weird you can get the tyre size changed in the ECU at a dealer.
