Anybody running 18x8 w/30mm offset rims?

Any rubbing problems on front? What tires do you have?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I need at least +35 offset to clear my stock brake setup...

Those wheels will work on the 5th gen as it worked on my 4th gen. With the stock tires it raises the ca up considerably..

No pics, but IMO it didn't look right. My car looked almost stock height with them on with S. techs. They do look 10X better on a lighter colored maxima though...

Yeah, with their curved shape the illusion will probably do that, since it's coming from such a short/low car.

I think I should get someone to photochop me some.

I've got 19X8.5s on 35 offset. Using this site it comes out to be 1mm INSET more than mine. I'm running 245s and no rub, but they are pushed out about as far as I feel they should go. The rears are tighter than the fronts, you shouldn't have any issues on the front.

That's it then, they should fit.

It will work just fine. I took 4 stock 350Z wheels and put the rears from the 350 on my rear. The tire is much to large, but the wheels themselves are all the same.

Were they Track Model rims though? They're all different.

Fronts sound like the concern.
