I can't say that I have ever heard of anyone doing this. The thing that you need to find is what the overall tire diameter will be. That will be listed in the tire specifications. The other thing you will need to know is the backspacing of the Frontier factory wheels (typically 5.5") vs. the backspacing of the Titan wheels.

Again, the two biggest issues are tire diameter and wheel backspacing. If the backspacing is too much or too little, that will make the wheels not fit.


Let me know if this does not help you.

Was thinking that my 06 frontier would get better mileage without those overly fat stock tires.
Is there a skinnier treaded tire that'll fit the same wheels while having the same load rating?

There are several tire size calculators available online. Try selecting a narrow tire size that maintains the overall tire diameter.

I have 32" mud tires and I have only lost about 1mpg over the stock tires. These are 6 ply and my old mud tires were 8 ply. Even with two sets of mud tires, I have only noticed a slight decrease in mileage over stock. If I went to a tire narrower than the stock, I would get better mileage but I would have more body role in curves. I don't drive fast on curves because it wears out my mud tires but if I had a narrower tire, it would wear it out even faster due to body role.
