I have a 2003 maxima and I am looking at two sets of the same wheels with different sizes:

18x8+43 18x9+44

18x8+36 114.3 5h 18x9+36 114/3 5h

I am not sure what my stock offset is and if I can run one of these sizes. Can soemone clear this up for me. I have a general understanding of what an offset is but I don't know my size or what I can use.
Thanks

 

Not trying to be a ****, but 1300+ posts and you still don't know your stock offset? It's +45mm. You can run as wide as 18x9 all-around with +44 offset in the fronts and +36 in the rears. Put 245/40/18 or 255/40/18 on them. Needless to say, you can run 18x8 safely. BTW, how much dropped are you?

 

I have to chose between one of those sizes. 18x8+43 18x9+44 is one set and
18x8+36 114.3 5h 18x9+36 114/3 5h is another set. Unless I can get the seller to break up the sets and give me both of the 18x9's.
Dropped 1.6 front 1.0 rear.
Thanks

 

I don't think you'd have any problems running the +36mm offset, with 235/40/18 and 255/40/18. But if you want to be on the safe side, you can choose the higher offset.

 

Thanks for your input.

 

why are you buying a staggered setup anyways, might I ask?

 

I have 40 offset 19x8 in the rear with 245 tires and it's tucked way in.. 36 offset is nothing
