Just ordered wheels n tires!

Fondmetal 5800, with 245/45 17 HanKook tires.

The rims are 7.5" wide. I would prefer a 8" rim, but 7.5" will do.


I will post pics when the wheels arrive.

Nice... so how are the spray-painted ones holding up for you? And atleast post some pics of the wheel off another site, you have to atleast post one pic... Don't keep us in suspense like this!

It's not on a Maxima, but I wanted you guys to see what the wheel looks like in reality.

I think they look BadAss.


Do you think 245s on 35mm offset is ok? I'm not worried about the back, but I think the fronts might bulge out little.

Everything came out to

$993.

I stayed under one grand. $150 each for wheels, and $97 for tires. The shipping was free, from Discounttiredirec.com

Oh, I also paid $5 for valve stems too.

Stock is 45mm. 40 mm offset is perfectly flush with the front and set in a bit on the back. Ideal is to have 40mm front and 35mm back. You may have just a tad of bulge on the front but nothing bad, at least neither front or back will be set in. I would rather have your offset than mine, which is 40mm.

Wait, I just realized I think you have a 5th gen and I am refering to a 4th.....I'll post it anyhow. These may not purtain to a 5th gen??
