NOW INSTALLED (New rims)

So I had a chance to get some SE-R(sentra) wheels for around 250 and I jumped on it. One has a little road rash(not too bad) and the tires are a little low on tread but I think it was a real good deal. Tires are Continental ContiSportContact 2 with 20k on them(they'll last the summer)

I was thinking of refinishing the rashed wheel and painting them a deep bronze or a deep gunmetal.

The offset is 50 so will that need spacers or will they bolt right up?(I am noob to wheels) I think the offest is 50 on the new wheels and 45 height on the tires



mock up


and mock up on my ladie's Juke

50mm offset you will not need spacers, you could possibly need spacers if the offset went the other direction (less than) from our stock 40mm offset

That is high offset. A little higher than stock. The rears will look bad I think.

Mount them on the car and see how they look, or post pics. You will know if you need spacers or not.

50mm offset is massive inset into wheel well. Based on the pics, I think once you get them pushed out, they will look good. You might consider the 10mm/15mm set up or they will still look inset too much.

That would give you a 40mm front and 35mm rear offset which should look nice.

Think I should keep the 45s or bump up to a 50 height?
