Hi all. I have an opportunity to put ruff racing r281 chrome rims m offset +25 on my car. Was curious if the offset would work? I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to wheels and fitment. Usually I just go to a place and buy what they say fits, but this opportunity came up and they look good in black. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

They came off my buddies Honda Accord.

would need more info like rim size (diameter and width) and tire size

Jared526

Sorry. 20x9 in front 20x10 in back. No tires yet. I need to replace the ones he had. So I can get whatever would fit.

If they're staggered, the offset may be different between fronts and rears.

Jared526

I was told +25. I'm finding out now. I just text him. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your help.

While i have your attention. would Infiniti m45 20 inch wheels fit on the 16 maxima? I don't know the actual specs but tires are 245/40zr20

Factory rim shouldn't be too aggressive of an offset, so yes they would fit. The tire size will give you a problem. Most people are running 245/35R20 with some rubbing and some not, but very little in the front. The rears people have been going with 255/35R20 if they do have too wide of a wheel.

As for the ruff racing wheels, you may have problems with the front tires rubbing against the liner on extreme turns. These wheels sound like they would fit, but if you're planning on lowering, you would definitely have to roll the rear fenders.

Jared526

Great thank you. I'd like to lower this as well so I need to take that into consideration. Last car I had, I did it all at once so I didn't have any issues at the time. This one I'm taking a little slower as my finances are different and since my previous car was stolen I don't have the wheels or springs to offset costs. I once again appreciate your help and advice. Thank you

I'm running 20x8.5 front 20x10 rear Giovanni's wrapped in 245/45/20 all around, lowered on Eibachs, with a -.5 degree camber in the front with no rub at all. Daily driver and the ride is beautiful!

245/45r20?!?!?

im not gay but $20 is $20

245/45R20 is a little over 2 inches taller in diameter than the factory 18's and 19's.

My bad 245/35/20 squared.

Jared526

tc8510-again I'm learning more each day, as I mentioned before I gave people money and they did stuff to my car and I knew nothing of details. So with that said, are your rims offset the same as these? Or are they different? I am so close to biting the bullet and going to a wheel shop and just have them get me wheels that fit properly. But as I said I have a good opportunity (if they fit) so I want to be sure before I pass. Thank you

tc8510

Mine are +38 and +43 offset. I think with a +25 offset you would have to negative camber your wheels too much. Depending on how you drive your you will eat thru tires!

Jared526

Yea, now this is getting more complicated, and forcing me to Google all this stuff, camber and offset, I don't know what to do. I will think about it this weekend and try to come up with an answer. Thanks again

To give an example, my wheels are 20x9 +35 squared running with 245/35R20 and eibach springs. No rubbing at all and not even needing to roll the rear fenders. The rims are exactly flush with the fender.

tc8510

Camber is the wheel tilting in and out. Negative camber tucks wheels under wheel wells. But wear out the inside of your tires prematurely if too aggressive.

Offset is based on the hub of the wheel the more positive you go with lower number the more the wheel sticks out side of the fender. Whit Maximas you want to stay within +32 and +45.

Any lower than +32 the more you will have to negative camber your wheels. Which will cause you to eat thru your tires.

There you go in a nut shell.

I used to be in the same boat as you with trying to figure this sh*t out... but that's why there are forums so we can help!

That ruff racing wheel is a nice wheel I had a set on my 99 Buick Regal GS.

Just snapped a pic for ya... don't mind the dirt weather has been crazy here at Ft Campbell.

I spent a good 5 hours trying different configurations, going back out to the car with a straight edge and a ruler taking measurements. I found it very calming actually.

The wheels you were originally asking about thought will stick out 10 mm further out compared to mine, and the rears will stick out 23 mm further out than mine. Will definitely have the wheels passing the fender.

Jared526

Wow, Thank you both. I almost want to know what you have so I can copy it. Thats exactly the look I want. I love the flush tucked look. Guess I will pass on those rims and continue my search, but now with all your help, I know what to look for, so thank you again for the advice, pictures and words of encouragement.

tc8510

Anytime!

Check my profile for other pix etc in the event you need anymore ideas.

Jared526

Will do!

This online calculator may be helpful (current factories are 245/40/19, 8”, Offset: 50 on the SR):

I believe the SRs are 245/40R19

BxBorn65

Oops, yep typo. I started putting in the SL tire and forgot to change those numbers. Thanks for catching that.

dcpatters

Damn, those wheels looks fantastic. Sorry for the thread hijack, but anymore shots of wheels on car?

I ordered 18 inch wheels for my platinum but after ordering I realized they have an offset of 35 which means they will stick out about 15 mm. I wanted to use the stock tire's for now (245/45/18) but I'm thinking with the additional stick out the front wheels will hit the liner. Has anyone tried this combination with a ÷35 offset? If you had rubbing what tire did u try? I was thinking 255/40/18 might do the trick?

Jared526

Ok so I have another question guys. So when i visit www.willtheyfit.com and
I get answer like the one below:

"Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 1.3mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 11.4mm more than before."

I understand the distance that the outer rim pokes out, but the distance closer to the suspension strut, is that a critical number? Does the lower number mean that I would more likely rub if I hit a bump? Is there any travel in that number or is it a fixed distance? What is the true meaning of it?

Hope this question makes sense. Thanks guys!

The rubbing doesn't happen with the suspension, it's the fender or liner that rubs the tire. If the tire is hitting the suspension, that's very bad news. 1.3 mm closer to suspension isn't bad at all though

Jared526

Thank you. I understand what causes the rubbing. I just wasn't sure what the acceptable distance is from the suspension and if the distance minimizes with the springs or is it a fixed distance.

I have a 2017 maxima sr thinking of upgrading my rims
would 19x8.5 +40 with 245/40/19 front and 19x9.5 +40 with 265/35/19 rear work or would there be fitment issues, any insight appreciated

robtroxel

Whatever WHEELS and tires you choose, there is a risk of messing up the handling on a staggered front rear set up. Let alone rubbing fenders etc. Really this is not a BMW so is it the car that will benefit from this upgrade?
