Sorry for mentioning the CF's again, but who could you even trust to mount the tires on these things?

The fronts are 225/50, 8.5", weigh 42 pounds
The rears are 235/50, 9", weigh 48 pounds

Is that considered light weight?

Are those a forged wheel? The 6th gen Altima SE-R wheels say "FORGED" right on the rim. idk about using a staggered set on a fwd car. Would you run the 9s on the front?

You lost me

sunken battleships?

Seems to me like they would fit 17.5 5x144.3 but I'm not 100% sure about the offset or the center bore.

(17x7.5JJ, 5x114.3, +40mm offset, 67.1mm center bore, 17.5lbs each) with Toyo Proxes T1-R (T1-R 235/45ZR17 97Y) tires

Sunken battleships is a term referencing a lack of width and desirable offset. In other words, they won't be flush with the fender, at all. Sunk in the fender, get it?

Got it, thanks for the help.

Too bad, would have been a good price. Oh well back to the drawing board.

Look for around 8.5 +30-35 all around to be flush. With simple math you can account for different widths. Your car will look more aggressive than the above sizes, and you will thank us

LOL it doesn't have anything to do with man enough to do it, has to do with know what size/offset I need. Once I find them if I have the $$, I'm in.

Yes those gram lights would have fit just fine. They'd be inside the fenders just a little bit.

I ended up moving to my winter setup. Big O EuroTour tires and my MSR 17in wheels
I weighed everything.
18"Boss 304s with rubber 51lbs
17" MSR wheels with rubber 40-41lbs.

I weighed them several times and that's what I kept coming up with. My winter set up seems a little light?

I tried to get to the track last night but it didn't happen.
