What's the Offset of your wheels, size, and brand?? post pics if you got em

I hate how my rear rims sit inward on the rear of the car, I wanna get a rim where is sits almost flush with the body, I'm not sure what the best offset for that is... I was thinking somewhere between 25mm and 35mm offset....but then the problem is how it will look in the front... I know some companys sell rims packages with diff offsets for front and back rims, but they are hard to come by...

It's very hard to find a nice looking, clean rim that goes with the body style of our maximas..its even harder to find that rim with a good width and with a good offset! .... so I wanna see what kind of rims everyone is running.. PLEASE POST SIZE, OFFSET, AND PICS IF YOU HAVE THEM..

I've thought about wheelspacers but I dont feel like messing around with that crap, as safe as people say it is, I still dont feel safe having spacers between my rotor and rim

Get spacers if you want front and rear to sit evenly and flush.

37mm offset is good, then add some 15mm spacers out back. I have 42mm offset 18x8 and there is room to go out further. Poowill has 37mm Volks.

Have the new 6 star 18's found on the '06 maxima's which are 18X7.5" with a 40mm offset. I think they look great w/o being too flashy. The fronts are almost perfectly flush, but the back still set in a little bit...

where could I get new spacers? I never even knew you could get them to even the wheels out.

Tire Rack has 19X8 SSR GT7-H in silver with +40mm for $199 each right now. They are super light for 19" and I think they look good on a 4th gen.

Agree with Jstutter, 37mm for up front and adding a spacer to the rear would be perfect...



37mm, no spacers.

17x7 42mm offset.

Have 20MM H&R spacers. With my drop I should probably get them milled down some I rub on some dips or big bumps.

Hey, sorry if this is somewhat off topic, but did you have to get a hub kit for those rims? I actually JUST bought those rims, and noticed afterwards that the bolt spacing is different?

I have 19x8.5 with a +38 offset, and they do not rub at all

on my other fourth gen I have 18x8 with a +35 offset and they do rub (235/40 tire) if I go over big dips/bumps...I think if I roll the fenders they will be just fine.
