HELP ASAP! Nismo Rims question

Sorry, havnt posted in a while, and I couldnt search. My SSR Competition 17x8" rims where stolen off my car last night in my driveway (found my car on bricks )
I notified the cops, had car fingerprinted etc. but no luck.
So insurance said theyd let me replace my SSR with another set of rims of my choice, that are of "relatively" same price.


But I need a quick answer because I need to order some rims today.

Does Nismo make any 18" rims that'll fit my 2002 Max SE?

I went to courtesynissan, and brian said they didnt, but tried to match up some 350z Nismo rims just to see if they fit. And apparently the offset is different, and wouldnt work.

Also can I run a 235/40/18 tires on a 18x7.5 rim for my car?
Thanks for the help once again.

I dont' think that NISMO would be affordable since they're so expensive

Dude! This happened in Plano??? What part of Plano do you live in? I live near Preston and Legacy.

Also check these folks out: http://www.wheelsboutique.com/
They were referred to me from HRE Wheels and their response has been good.

You have some of the worst luck lately. Glad you are gonna get replacements. I know that you are probably looking at a lightweight wheel, but if you are interested in ADR, let me know.

I don't know if those are NISMO or not (they look like Volk Gram Lights) but it is a NISMO show car and they should fit the Max.

the NISMO rims are made by rays engineering, so the are rebadged volk's. TE37's I believe. You're lookin around $500-550 per rim in 18x8. Mad-props if you go-through with the NISMO/Volks

Here's the link to Ray's web site that shows the LM GT4 and the different sizes and offsets available. Might be interesting to see if a Volk dealer can get them in 18x8.5 and +40 or +43 offset that is show in the size table. Click on NISMO on the left side of the chart(Ray's Wheel Database) and then click on LM GT4.

If your insurance pays for NISMOs, please give me the name and number of your agent so I can join. There's no way...
