I am thinking about buying some 350Z Wheels for my altima coupe.Here is the specs the tires and rims are from a 2007 Nissan 350z they are going to be factory tires and rims with less than 20 miles on them. the 2 front are 225/45/R18 and the 2 rear are 245/45/R18 they are 18 inches. They have a five lug pattern. Will these fit on a 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5S? Would you recommend doing this? I read a previous post that said he got all fronts and I wondering if it would still work if it was 2 fronts and 2 rears?

Thanks

Hi Colton,

Do you know the offsets for the wheels??? For the most part to my understanding these will fit rears and fronts. The only reason why people get all fronts is because having a staggered setup on a FWD is useless unless you put the rear wheels on the front of the car that being said they should work. At least I have seen them work on the 3.5 without rubbing, but the 3.5 has a stiffer suspension then the 2.5. I know 18x8 +33 offset and 18x8.3 +35 offset do fit on an unlowered 3.5 without rubbing. If the offsets are lower you may have rubbing.

The rims are 5x114.3 The Front rims are 17" x 7.5 at 30mm offset, and the rear rims are 17" x 8 at 33mm offset. Will they fit a 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 2.5s If so what would be the best tires to get for these rims?

350Z wheels come in 17's, 18's and a 18F/19R set up.

All except the 18F/19R should fit the Altima Coupe.

17's are 7.5 +30 & 8.0 +3318's are 8.0 +30 F&Ror18's are 8.0 +30 & 8.5 +3318F/19R are 18x9 +30 19x10 +30

theres no "best" tire.. it depends on its usage... and your pockets...

looking for cheapest? performance? all season?

theres not even a "best" in those categories.. theres more of an... elite few... pick what type of tire you are looking for first.
