Looking at rims, offset Q.

I am looking into buying a set of winter rims used. THey came off of a G35 coupe, and are 17x7.5 with a +32 offset. Could anyone tell me if i will have any rubbing issues? I currently have my coilovers set with a 3" drop, so i dont know if the smaller offset will cause issues

Fitment issues with offset are directly related to the width of the wheel, just because an offset is low doesn't mean that it won't fit..

I can have a seven inch wheel with a +13 offset, because the width is significantly smaller than say, a 9 inch wheel, the added clearence will allow me to run a lower offset to be flush with the fender.

This is why we have the offset calculator at the top of the page, it does the work for you...

I think we should add this note the offset calculator, based on the observations I have of setups on 4th gen maximas (5th and 6th can add their 2 cents later... )

For a fourth gen Maxima and a moderately flush setup in the front (little/no poke, I believe 3mm), roll rear fender and space to match:

Width Offset Tire Size

9 +38 255

8.5 +32 245

8 +25 235

7.5 +19 225

7 +13 215

You can vary the offset a little, but I don't recommend going too much lower if you don't want to stretch tires too much to fit. The tire sizes are also not concrete, but I don't recommend going too much bigger because of rubbing issues, especially if your slammed...

Moderators, do you think you could add that? I see offset threads weekly now it seems, would be nice Maybe add read before asking question in title
