Im looking to order new wheels....18x9 with 15 offset. Im going for the Stance look. slammed look. but is this too low of an offset? or will i be flush?

 

From what Ive done as far as research that should be about right if you want a poke and a stretched tire...

Pics or wheels!?

 

TE37

 

If you really want that look, then regardless of what the sizes are... MAKE THEM FIT. Your gonna have to roll the fenders anyways to get it anywhere close to flush, so use that as an opportunity for some minor bodywork.

 

Quit being lazy, roll your fenders and make them fit.

 

i think 18x9 +15 is too low for a 5th gen i have +45 up front w/ 19x9.5 & i poke about 1/2 a inch at least a +30 imo but hey whoo knows i say go for it

 

this is the 3rd thread with nearly the same specs.....

 

My 18x8.5 +30 offset is right at "flush" in the front, the same wheel in the rear needs a 15-20mm spacer to be the flush. What you are suggesting (18x9 +15) is going to poke alot in the front, but apparently that is what "flush" means these days... the more poke and ridiculous camber, the more "flush" it is.

Regardless of what you choose, you'll need fender rolling in the rear at a minimum.

If you want the superpoke/camber version of "flush" go ahead with the +15 all around with 15-20MM spacers in the rear, get some camber plates and your rear beam bent, then get some 225s and stretch them on. You won't have to worry about your car handling well or getting straight line traction anymore, but it will look HELLA FLUSH, YO!

IMO with 18x9, I would go +35 offset in the front and +15 in the rear if you want it to actually be flush with the fenders. Of course a +30-35 with a spacer in the rear will get the same effect.

 

^^^this ridiculous trend is get uh, ridiculous.

i would say +25 +30 up front and +15 on the rear. if your really going to spend that much on TE37 i would get a stagger set up. no sense in getting a certain spec if your can get the right stagger set up for around the same price....

 

Personally, I would get an equal setup that I can swap front to rear and utilize a spacer in the rear. It's nice to be able to swap tires front to back sometimes as quickly as our front tires like to wear (or is that just me going to the track too much?).

Of course, I didn't go that route. I have 245/40/18s in the front on 8.5" wheels, and 225/45/18s in the rear on 8" wheels... FWD stagger, yo! It may look a little weird, but at least it's not a functionally useless RWD stagger on a FWD car purely for looks.

 

^^^ Yea, sometimes I wish I could switch too. I eat up front tires like Nacho cheese Doritos. But then I look at how sick the rear wheel looks with this width and offset and magically I dont care anymore. lol.

If I had a maxima, I probably would go with less aggresive sizing and a more simple design. I'd probably just leave the stock SE wheels on there and do a mild drop. The i30's body lines are just too ugly (especially in my color) to pull of something simple. lol
