do you guys think 17' chrome niche shocks would look good on my white 3rd gen? I thinking about buying a set of them.

 

17's probably would, dunno for sure, but 3rd gen. lines seem to like 5-spoke wheels pretty well, esp. thin spoked wheels. Try 'em out.

 

Woah! Those are crazy rims man! I'd give an opinion, but I can't even vizualize those on a 3rd Gen

Make sure to check the offset (35-30mm) if you want 235/45 tires, otherwise it's less important with narrower tires (but check it anyway).

 

those would look sick if they were 18s!!

 

They should have a (35-30mm) offset the guy had them on an Ifinity, shoudn't they?

 

Are you saying they should have 30-35 because they'd been on an Infinity? I think since most "Infinitis" mean 4th Gen chassis I wouldn't infer that they have that offset. Most Infiniti rims and most aftermarket rims have 40-ish offset, which is fine if you run 215 sized tires, but to fit the big 235/45's properly you'd need 35-30 offset. If you don't mind the extra cost you could always buy wheel spacers too if you want.

It sounds like you're buying these used, but try to find out the offset on those wheels. Maybe e-mail/phone up some places that sell them and they can usually tell you.

(The bonus of getting them from off another Nissan is they should come with a set of hub rings to fit between the wheel and hub.)

 

the tires on the wheel are 234's. how much would spacers cost me?would the 234's fit?

 

You mean 235's? (As in 235/45R17 ?) Yes they'll fit... if the offset ends up right. I think www.hrsprings.com says the spacers are about $70-130(?) per pair MSRP. If you do get spacers though, you'll have to do a bunch of work and replace all the wheel studs with longer ones which the kit comes with. Or you could pay to have them replaced...

So just some stuff to keep in mind when figuring out the overall cost of these rims to you.

(Try contacting www.contemporarymotorsport.com about that offset - they carry Niche)
