hey all, i just got some rims off ebay but they sent me the wrong rims. i ordered 17x7 with offset 40 but they sent me 18x7.5 with offset 48. does anyone know if these rims will fit my 98 maxima? thanks.

 

why don't you get up and stop being lazy and put them on!!!! they prob do'nt have tires, but you can still see if the rim is going to hit anything like the control arms, etc. etc. If you they do fit, and you have extra cash laying around, you lucked out in a way. but lemme tell you that tires are much more expensive for 18's than 17's. approx $60 more on each tire. so $60 x 4 is another $240 you woulda saved if you went with 17's instead of 18's

 

dude, chill out... they sent me the wrong rims and i dont want to install them since i might i have to return them. just wanted to know if anyone has tried this combo with no problems. if they fit then ill just keep the rims and sell my current 17 rims/tires for some 18" tires.

 

Yes!!! they will fit Easily.

 

sorry, didn't mean to sound like i was bashing on you. sorry if you took it the wrong way. but it should fit without a problem. if not use spacers. but i'm pretty sure that they will fit...but you can still open one of the boxes and just put them on your car to check if it does fit correctly

 

They may fit but it will be close. But you really don't want a 48mm offset. Send them back.

 

i have 48mm offset wheels.. they fit fine.. no rubbing or anything..

 

I have 18x7.5 +45mm offset and it fit fine. only had little probablem with the center cap on the rear cause of the grease caps but i fixed that problem very easily.

 

im also lowered with eibach pros/gr-2. will that make any difference? also, are you rolling on 235-40-18?

just want to make sure cause ebay seller is not responding... thanks

 

With a hammer and chizel?....= ]

 

or a 5mm spacer..

 

anyone else use 48 offset. dont want to waste money on tires if there not going to fit? thanks

 

bump.......

 

that's a no no.. that grease cap is there for a reason. never remove it.
i tried with a 10mm spacer but still wasn't enough space!! and plus the lugs were barely staying on so i took them off and did this... take the nubs off the center cap and super glue it on to the rims it's been on past 2-3 months now and it's waaaay better than having no center cap

 

are you having any problem rubbing?

 

nope never.. even on a hard bump or going mucho fast and turning... no probs

 

i have 18 x 7.5 r1's and i rub every once and a while... im not sure what offset my gtr-10 wheels are though

 

are you rubbing your front fenders or the inside strut assembly?
