Will 2013 Altima 18" wheels fit on '08 Maxima SE?

I've been researching and just looked through several posts on this site. I currently have the stock wheels/tires on my Maxima.

I have an extra set of snow tires that I would like to purchase wheels for, so that I don't have to swap every winter. My snow tires are 245 45 18's.

I found a great deal on craigslist. A set of like new 18" wheels off of a 2013 Altima for $350. Here are the specs to the best of my knowledge:

18 inch rims: 18x7.5J - offset 55 mm
standard tire size: 235/45/R18
bolt pattern of 5 x 114.3

I pulled that off of another site. It seems that the offset is the only difference, correct? I just want to be sure. I hope to confirm with the person selling the tonight or early tomorrow, since they are willing to sell all 4 for $350.

Will these fit?

Thanks for your help!

Should be fine but I would use your size of tires vs the Altima ones.

Be aware if the offset is numerically higher your wheels will sit more inward.

Check the wheel and tire forum stickies for offset calculators.

They will fit, however they will be narrower. I believe ours are 8 1/2 in width stock.

No they're not, OEM are 7.5" wide. The Z33 tracks are 8.5" wide and only in the rear.

tire rack says our wheels are 18x8 and these are 18x7.5 then they will just be in a little bit farther. More than likely they are 18x8 with 235 tires. I run 20x8 in front, and 20x8.5 rear with 235 tires all the way around. Stock 04 SE tires are 18x8 http://nissan.dealerdirectparts.com/...627-624872.htm

That's a good looking wheel. The person selling these here in seattle wants 800 for the set. Sounds like you found a steal

I know! I'm pretty excited to get that deal. They look that clean too.

Thanks for your input everyone. You know how it is.. best to get a group decision before buying something questionable.

I might use these for the summer wheels since they are in much better shape.
