I'm new to this whole wheels and tires thing, so please bear with me. I'm looking to get the Nakayama Phantom GT-R's in 18's. Does anyone have them on a 5th gen? The offset I was told was somewhere around 38mm? Also, the tires that are included in this package are 215/35/18's. Could or would this be an ideal fit for an 03?

Any advice is appreciated!


Thanks!

 

Here is a pic:

 

The tires are too narrow. Find some 245/35/18 tires. Those tire sizes are for a Civic, not a 5th Gen.

 

Those tires are wayyyyyy too small. Get 245/40/18.

 

Here's the thing tho: It's part of a wheel and tire package deal. I really dont want the tires, but they come with them. Would the wheels then be still ok if I get wider tires?

 

How wide are the wheels? Need at least an 8" wide wheel to run 245/40/18
Check any of the tire spec charts on www.tirerack.com

 

How wide are the wheels? I am guessing they are 7.5"? You will have to get a 225/40, or 235/40 maybe.

 

you know, I thought I saw 18X8's on that site, but for some strange reason, now it seems like it doesn't list it?
I had a feeling the 215's were gonna be too small, but that could be fixed when I get wider Toyo's for them. I'm really concerned with whether or not it would look like it would have any fitment issues with the Max? I mean a size 18 wheel is a size 18 wheel across the board, isn't it? (this is why I said please bear with me in the beginning! )

 

Yup, 18" is 18", across the board. You're looking for an offset in the 35mm to 45mm range, so 38mm should be perfect. On a 8" wide rim, or even a 7.5" rim, go for the 235/40 tire. Many places will let you upgrade the tires with a package for an additional cost.

 

Cool, thanks for the advice!
