First off, i know this is a wrong forum, but people at the Wheel/Tire forum never answer...

I was just wondering what offset i should get for 18x8.5. the choices i have are 22, 30, or 40mm offset. I will be running tein-SS coilovers with them. Thanks for your input.

 

anyone knows?

 

40

are you sure it is not going to run on the inside, near the coilovers?

 

I'm getting Nismo 5-spoke 18x9.5 FTW!!!

They're gonna stick out 1 inch each side because they're made for RWD.

 

i'm sure.

if you run 30 mm your going to be rubbing the fender.

 

that's great grant. That was so offtopic.

 

Yo Brian, you wanna tell me where I can wrap my trunk in CF?

 

do you want some fried RICE with that also? j/k

 

Dude, I'm bringing some super duper Holly's Mandarin fried rice to the Freakmont meet.

...reserved only for Maximas - no maxima no touchy

 

daaaaaaaaaaaamn!!! did you get it imported from Japan with overnight delivery?

 

Damm you guys are gay, all he did was ask a simple quiestion and you are flaming him, why?

 

The G35C wheels on my Max are 30mm offset and they sit flush with 245/40/18 tires.

 

8.5" wheels, I would say go with a 35mm offset. 30, and you will be sticking out a bit too far in the front. My 18x8's have a 30 offset and are perfect....

 

Anyone have a link that explains offset's etc?

 

check tirerack.com...there is an explanation there.

 

Will do thanks, hey do you have your Maxpseeds back on yet?

 

nope, may be a few weeks.....I'm getting some *newer* maxspeeds for free from someone, so I may "experiment' with my old, rusty ones

I did a different suspension project today

can i run 18x8.5 in the front with 40mm offset and 18x9 with 30mm offset in the rear? will that setup rub? thanks.

 

^ i want it to be as flush as possible in the back so that i would not have to buy spacers... thanks

 

Here you go, you be the judge:

I have a set of 17x8.5 with 40mm offsets and are wrapped with 245 45, they don’t rub. You may have to trim the excess materials off the inside fender wall, but only on the passenger side. I don’t recommend using a 9 inch with a 30mm offset on the rear. I had to trim the inside where the fender panel and the bumper connect to prevent the tires I have from rubbing and what you are proposing would cause the wheel to protrude an additional 16mm.

To answer the first question: 40mm

Hey guys! I got my '03 Maxima wrapped in 235/40-18 tires. I know that stock 16' tires should have 33psi front and 30psi rear, but I have no idea what to put in the new ones. I thought that bigger will need a bit more pressure plus I like when car is a bit stiffer. Any advices on how much to inflate those? Any help would be appreaciated.

Maxima Rulesss...:attention

 

so will a 18x9 wheel with +38 offset fit in the back fine?

 

give me some fried rice and i'll tell you

 

I am about to order the rims tommorow so i need to know the following:

will a 18x9 rim with +38mm offset and 255/40/18 mounted on it rub in the back and be flush with the fender? thanks.
