Aftermarket 18's Help. Experts only please
My Cars
Please check out this link and tell me what offset is exactly stock or close enough to where i dont have to get new tires. I have the non sport package 18's. I want to keep my yokohamas, just plug and play with aftermarket 18's.I know i need 18x8 and 18x9 and a 5-114.3 bolt pattern but the offsets range from 35-40. I dont want to make a mistake in buying wheels that will destroy my suspension,ride quality, etc. Trying to get this done soon and the post in the wheel/tires forum is SLOW getting any answer. Thanks guys Ps- Lets not get into a discussion about 18's vs 19's vs 20's. Just help a brother out trying to keep the bill below or around 1000$ who also wants an aftermarket look. |

Offset has nothing to do with the size of the tire fitting the rim. The rims are all 8" & 9" wide. Therefore, your tires will fit all listed rims. The offset is too small to worry about i.e. 5mm = ~ 1/5 ". So, select the one you like best!

offset is what makes the wheel look good, versus making that same wheel look like it was not meant for your car.
you want to go about 20mm less than the stock offsets if you want them to look good. As far as stock offsets go, search the wheel and tire forum, there is a post in there with everything you need. you asked basically the same question in the wheel and tire forums. the first post there by DDM gave you the offsets that would look best on the car using the stock tires. Another post in there gave a link to what tire-rack says fits your car... |

The sneaky b@stards at Nissan make it really hard to learn the offset. They spent many hours determining where best to hide it. In the end, they hid the information in the owners manual!!! I guess they figure most people don't look in theirs. I out-smarted them and read mine. There is a lot of good info in that thing. You should check out yours.
