So there's this guy selling some 20s...

daCelt · 06-11-2015, 04:58 PM

Hi all. There's this cat close to home selling a set of 20" rims that are considered universal and he had on an 05 Maxima. They're pretty sweet looking but he has no data on them as far as measurements go other than 20". I guess what I need to ask is, how do i measure a wheel for offset when all i have is the physical wheel? Also, for width is it "inner to outer edge of the rim" or "inner to outer bead landing"? I'd like to see if i could get them on my wife's '13 370z Roadster without suspension mods.

Thanks!

Easiest way is to first check if the specs were embossed on the backside of the wheel.

Otherwise, width is measured from inner to inner "bead landing".

Measure backspacing and calculate the offset from there.

You don't know who makes the wheels? Can you post a good pic? Maybe we can figure it out if we knew who the manufacturer is.

Not going to work, I don't even need to see specs

just take some pics...if hes not running -8 camber on an 05' maxima, the offsets will be conservative on a 370z

You know it's not even going to work, why bother checking

I would never buy wheels from someone who doesn't know their specs, RED FLAG!

yah, im with waiz on that. i dont know maxima's stock offsets, but chances are they are too narrow and offset too weak.

"Universal" wheels, that's all I needed to hear. Keep searching brotha. If you find a wheel style you like, post it up along with your budget and we'll try to help you narrow down correct specs.
