Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - MSW Type 11 - Are rim styles available with different offsets?

bplourde · 10-14-2010, 05:51 PM

Tire Rack USED to sell MSW Type 11 wheels that I really wanted for my winter setup... I can no longer find them when entering the 370z as a car but I CAN find them if I spec out winter packages for an Altima. It says the offset is 45mm.

Question: Do specific wheel styles come in different offsets or can I assume that the MSW Type 11 will ALWAYS be a 45mm offset? It seems like wheels come in diff size diameters but I haven't seen the same style with different offsets. My logic is that i've seen the Type 11 on the 370z w/ sport package so even though Tire Rack isn't listing it as a proper fit it should still work if I buy the Altima-spec'd package. From Tire Rack:

# Size: 18x8
# Offset: 45mm
# Backspacing: 7.12"
# Bolt Pattern: 5-114
# Rec. Tire Size: 235/45-18
# Weight: 25.5lbs.
