18 "s on a sentra -will it work

Malm · 05-19-2014, 11:08 AM

Buddies wife got a 14 sentra. They want sportier wheels. I am selling my 18" z base wheels (Powdercoated black). Front is on a 225 tire and rear is 245. Will these fit the sentra and not look terrible? Thanks.

And sorry for lack of info. Quick type up while at work.

I am assuming they have the base Sentra? Why not get the Sentra SR model wheels? They will fit for sure.

You need to look at the offset and what the overall tire diameter will be to keep the speedometer accurate. You may not have a tire profile that can get you there, especially if it's the stock Advans from the Z. The wheels for the Z are also staggered, so you'll have issues with the offsets on the sentra. If you have (4) front 18" base Z wheels and the right tire outside diameter...it may work, albeit with a really low profile tire.

a stagger setup on a front wheel drive not only looks stupid but will throw the car dynamic off and will not be able to rotate.

Probably because he is trying to sell them his wheels.

Yep. If it did work, he was going to buy them (he is a Z enthusiast)... maybe I can convince him to buy them for a 280 he is restoring. He likes to add as many up to date conviences as he can..its fun for him. Of course his Z has a 4 bolt ..and the wheel is 5.

No big deal.

If you wind up not selling to your buddy PM me about how much you are selling those wheels for (if you don't mind). Trying to get some wheels for a winter setup.
