   2022 Nissan Frontier Owner's Manual, Publication No. OM22EA 0D41U2 ("Printing : April 2022"), 567 pp. com and extracted the text. PDF pages 428 and 482 each state verbatim: "Wheel nut tightening torque: 98 ft-lb (133 N·m)". PDF page 521, "WHEELS AND TIRES" (columns Wheel Type / Offset in (mm) / Size): "Steel | 1.18 (30) | 16 x 7JJ", "Aluminum | 1.18 (30) | 17 x 7.5J"; Tires "P265/70R16, 265/65R17, 265/70R17". A full-text regex scan of all 567 pages for "114.3", "139.7", "bolt pattern", "bolt circle", "center bore", "M12" and "PCD" returned ZERO hits - this manual states no bolt circle, bore or thread pitch.

   2023 Nissan Frontier Owner's Manual, Publication No. OM23EA 0D41U2 ("Printing : May 2023"), 567 pp. PDF pages 423 and 480: "Wheel nut tightening torque: 98 ft-lb (133 N·m)". PDF page 522 "WHEELS AND TIRES": "Steel | 30 mm | 1.18 in | 16 x 7JJ", "Aluminum | 30 mm | 1.18 in | 17 x 7.5J"; Tires "P265/70R16, 265/65R17, 265/70R17"; Spare "Steel 16" Full size / Steel 16" P265/70R16 / Steel 17" Full size". Same zero-hit result for bolt-circle/bore/thread-pitch terms. Also states the re-torque rule: p423 "Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for 620 miles (1,000 km)" and p480 "...600 miles (1,000 km)" - Nissan's own two imperial conversions of 1,000 km disagree.

PDF page 510 "WHEELS AND TIRES" lists THREE wheels where 2022-2023 listed two: "Steel | 30 mm | 1.18 in | 16 x 7JJ", "Aluminum | 30 mm | 1.18 in | 16 x 7J", "Aluminum | 30 mm | 1.18 in | 17 x 7.5J" - confirming a 16-inch ALLOY is added for 2024 MY. No bolt circle/bore/thread pitch anywhere.

   Nissan 2025 Frontier Body Builder's Guide, 2025-Nissan-Frontier-BBG-v1.pdf, 455 pp, served live from nissan-techinfo.com (PDF metadata: Subject "Nissan BBG Manual", Producer "Tweddle Group" - Nissan's publications vendor - created 2024-07-24). Page footer reads "2022-2025 Frontier". PDF page 444, "WHEEL AND TIRE [SPECIFICATIONS]", "Wheel Dimensions" table, verbatim: Diameter "16 in / 17 in"; Width "7.0 in / 7.5 in"; Offset "16 X 7.0JJ steel wheel: 30 mm (1.18 in)" and "17 X 7.5J alloy wheel: 30 mm (1.18 in)"; Bolt pattern "6 x 139.7 mm (6 X 5.5 in)"; Center bore "66 mm (2.60 in)"; Lug nut thread pitch "M12 x 1.25"; Brake caliper clearance "3.0 mm (0.12 in) min." Per-trim table on the same page: King Cab S / Crew Cab S = 16 X 7.0JJ Styled Steel + P265/70R16; King Cab SV = 17 X 7.5J Alloy + 265/65R17; Crew Cab SV, SL (SWB/LWB) = 17 X 7.5J Alloy + 265/65R17; PRO-X and PRO-4X = 17 X 7.5J Alloy + 265/70R17; all spares "Full size - Steel". A regex scan of all 455 pages found "6 x 139.7" ONLY on p444 (every other 139.7 hit is a wheelbase or exhaust-clearance dimension) and found NO occurrence of 114.3 as a bolt circle. Offset, center bore and thread pitch are taken from this page; THE BOLT PATTERN ROW IS ASSESSED AS ERRONEOUS.

   CROSS-CHECK PROVING THE BBG BOLT-PATTERN ROW IS AN UN-EDITED TEMPLATE CARRY-OVER (retrieved LIVE): Nissan 2024 TITAN Body Builder's Guide, 2024-Nissan-Titan-BBG-v1.pdf, 603 pp, nissan-techinfo.com (same Subject "Nissan BBG Manual", same Producer "Tweddle Group"). Footer "2017-2024 Titan". The identical "Wheel Dimensions" table appears FOUR times (PDF pages 585, 586, 587, 588, one per model-year block), every time reading: Bolt pattern "6 x 139.7 mm (6 X 5.5 in)" - byte-identical to the Frontier string - Center bore "77.77 mm (3.06 in)", Lug nut thread pitch "M12 x 1.25", Brake caliper clearance "Front: 3.8 mm (0.15 in) min. / Rear: 5.9 mm (0.23 in) min." 6x139.7 is genuinely correct for the TITAN. The Frontier BBG author localized the NEIGHBOURING rows correctly (center bore 66 mm vs TITAN 77.77 mm; a single caliper clearance 3.0 mm vs the TITAN's split front/rear; Frontier-specific offsets and per-trim wheels) but left the bolt-pattern row at the TITAN value - the signature of one un-edited row in a copied template.

   Full citation and quoted values

   Nissan USA Newsroom press release, "A Frontier first: Nissan NISMO off-road parts to debut at the 2020 Rebelle Rally". Section "NISMO off-road Wheels" states verbatim: "Custom designed and manufactured for NISMO. Size: 17x7.5-inch; Bolt Pattern: 6x114.3; Backspacing: +30mm; Load Rated for 1,950 lbs. (above factory OEM spec). Axis Gray painted finish." CRITICAL SENTENCE THE FIRST RESEARCHER QUOTED ONLY IN PART - the full applicability sentence reads: "NISMO off-road parts will be available for the 2005-2020 model year Frontier, 2016-2021 model year TITAN and 2005-2015 model year Xterra later this fall, AND WILL ALSO BE OFFERED ON THE FORTHCOMING, NEXT-GENERATION FRONTIER." That final clause is Nissan, in the same document that states 6x114.3, extending the parts line to the D41. Caveat recorded honestly: the release describes this as an accessory wheel "Designed and tested to rigorous SAE J2530 standards for aftermarket wheels", and the clause covers the parts line generally rather than naming this wheel's bolt circle for the D41 specifically. Note also that Nissan mislabels the +30 mm figure as "Backspacing" when it is an offset.

   Nissan USA Newsroom, "A Frontier first: Nissan NISMO off-road parts to debut at the 2020 Rebelle Rally" - THE PRIMARY BOLT-PATTERN SOURCE FOR THIS GENERATION. Verbatim: "NISMO off-road Wheels - Custom designed and manufactured for NISMO. Size: 17x7.5-inch; Bolt Pattern: 6x114.3; Backspacing: +30mm; Load Rated for 1,950 lbs. (above factory OEM spec)." Applicability, verbatim and in full: "NISMO off-road parts will be available for the 2005-2020 model year Frontier, 2016-2021 model year TITAN and 2005-2015 model year Xterra later this fall, and will also be offered on the forthcoming, next-generation Frontier." A single Nissan-authored document stating BOTH the numeric bolt circle AND that it is a 2005-2020 Frontier application - this is the basis for verified:true on bolt pattern for the D40. No OEM document contradicts it for this generation (the conflicting 6x139.7 row is in the D41-scoped Body Builder's Guide).

   2021 Nissan Frontier Owner's Manual, Publication No. OM21EA 0D40U1 ("Printing : March 2021"), 492 pp - final model year of the generation. PDF page 360: "Wheel nut tightening torque: 98 ft-lb (133 N·m)". PDF page 444 "WHEELS AND TIRES" (Wheel Type / Offset in (mm) / Size): "Steel | 1.18 (30) | 16 x 7JJ", "Aluminum | 1.18 (30) | 16 x 7J", "Aluminum | 1.18 (30) | 18 x 7.5J"; Tires "P265/70R16, P265/75R16, P265/60R18". CONFIRMED OEM TYPO: the second torque statement, PDF page 414 (tire-rotation section), misprints the metric value as "98 ft-lb (133 ft-lb)"; the primary statement on p360 correctly reads "133 N·m". No bolt circle, bore or thread pitch anywhere in the manual (full-page regex scan).

   2020 Nissan Frontier Owner's Manual, Publication No. OM20EA 0D40U1 ("Printing : July 2020"), 492 pp - A SOURCE THE FIRST RESEARCHER DID NOT USE. PDF page 360: "Wheel nut tightening torque: 98 ft-lb (133 N·m)". PDF page 444 "WHEELS AND TIRES": "Steel | 1.18 (30) | 16 x 7JJ", "Aluminum | 1.18 (30) | 16 x 7J", "Aluminum | 1.18 (30) | 18 x 7.5J"; Tires P265/70R16, P265/75R16, P265/60R18. Carries the SAME "98 ft-lb (133 ft-lb)" misprint on PDF page 414, showing the typo predates the 2021 edition. This is also the model year the NISMO press release names as its last Frontier application, so it pins the bolt-pattern statement and the torque to the same MY.

   2019 Nissan Frontier Owner's Manual ("Printing : January 2019"). PDF page 462 "WHEELS AND TIRES" (Wheel Type / Offset in (mm) / Size) reads verbatim: "Steel | 0.79 (20) | 15 x 6.5JJ", "Steel | 1.18 (30) | 16 x 7JJ", "Aluminum | 1.18 (30) | 16 x 7J", "Aluminum | 1.18 (30) | 18 x 7.5J". The 15-inch steel wheel is published at 20 mm, NOT 30 mm. The 2018 manual ("Printing : February 2018") states the same: "Steel | 0.79 (20) | 15 x 6.5JJ" with all other rows at 1.18 (30). The 2015 manual (Publication No. OM1E 0D40U1, "Printing : January 2015 (22)", PDF page 425) likewise: "Steel | 15 x 6.5JJ | 0.79 (20)". Against those three, the 2016 manual (OM1E 0D40U1, "Printing : March 2016 (24)", PDF p427) and the 2017 manual (OM1E 0D40U1, "Printing : June 2017 (27)", PDF p439) both print "Steel | 1.18 (30) | 15 x 6.5JJ" - Nissan's own manuals contradict each other on this one wheel. Torque in every one of these five editions: "98 ft-lb (133 N·m)".

   EARLY-GENERATION WHEEL/TIRE FITMENTS THE FIRST RESEARCHER OMITTED ENTIRELY. 2008 Nissan Frontier Owner's Manual, 352 pp: PDF pages 246 and 301 both state "Wheel nut tightening torque: 98 ft-lb (133 N·m)"; PDF page 312 "WHEELS AND TIRES": Wheels "15 x 7.0J, 16 x 7.0J, 17 x 7.5J"; Tires "P235/75R15, P265/70R16, P265/75R16, P265/65R17"; Spare "Full size" - note the 17-INCH wheel and the P265/65R17 tire, which appear in no later manual. 2009 manual, 366 pp: PDF pages 260 and 315 "98 ft-lb (133 N·m)"; PDF page 327: Wheels "15 x 7.0J, 16 x 7.0J, 18 x 8.0J"; Tires "P235/75R15, P265/70R16, P265/75R16, P265/65R18" - an 18x8.0J at a DIFFERENT WIDTH from the 18x7.5J of 2010+, on a P265/65R18. Neither manual prints an offset column, and neither states a bolt circle or bore.

   MID-GENERATION COVERAGE, all downloaded and text-extracted; every one states "Wheel nut tightening torque: 98 ft-lb (133 N·m)" twice. 2010 (Publication No. OM0E 0D40U1 / OM0E 0D40U2, "Printing : July 2010 (13)"), PDF p336: Wheels "15 x 7.0J, 16 x 7.0J, 18 x 7.5J"; Tires "P235/75R15, P265/70R16, P265/75R16, P265/60R18"; no offset column. 2011: same wheel list as 2010; no offset column. 2012: Wheels "15 x 6.5JJ, 16 x 7.0JJ, 18 x 7.5J"; no offset column - this is where the 15-inch drops from 7.0J to 6.5JJ. 2013 (Publication No. OM3E 0D40U0 / OM1E 0D40U1, "Printing : November 2012 (17)"), PDF p404: Wheels "15 x 6.5JJ, 16 x 7.0JJ, 18 x 7.5JJ"; no offset column. 2014, PDF spec page: "Steel 15 x 6.5JJ, Steel 16 x 7.0JJ, Alloy 16 x 7.0JJ, Alloy (off-road) 16 x 7.0JJ, Alloy 18 x 7.5JJ" - the first edition to split steel from alloy and to name a distinct off-road alloy, still with no offset column. Offsets first appear in the 2015 edition.

   SUPPORTING ONLY, NOT PRIMARY FOR THIS GENERATION: Nissan 2025 Frontier Body Builder's Guide (2022-2025 Frontier), PDF page 444, gives "Center bore 66 mm (2.60 in)" and "Lug nut thread pitch M12 x 1.25" for the D41, the same hub family carried over from the D40. No D40-era Nissan document stating a center bore or a thread pitch was located, so those two fields are carried across generations and are NOT OEM-sourced for the D40. This document's bolt-pattern row ("6 x 139.7 mm") is D41-scoped and is assessed as a TITAN template carry-over; it is not evidence about the D40 and must not be allowed to leak into this row.
