Picking up my 2015 AWD SL next week. Where I live we have snow covered roads all winter (6 months worth), and typical 1 foot to 1½ feet of snow per sometimes-weekly storms. We also get a few 3 footers. So, snow tires are a must, for me.

I'm curious if any of the rims from any of the other Nissans (maybe the Rogue Select, or Altima?) will be a correct fit. I'm looking for a rim that will have the correct bolt pattern (obviously :) ) as well as proper offset and centerbore.

Also, if possible, I'd like to go with a minus 2 or minus 3 fitment! The SL comes with 19" rims, but I'd rather have a smaller rim with a narrower, higher profile tire to aid in traction.

If there are smaller rims available(16s or 17s maybe?) , how small can you go before you start getting clearance issues with thing like the brakes?

If there are no other Nissans that fulfill these requirements, are there any other brand of cars out there that use similar rim dimensions? Worse comes to worse, I can always get some steelies from Tire Rack, but I'd prefer to get something a little nicer looking, and not have to resort to using hub caps.

don't go smaller then 17", you may have a issue with clearance between your front wheels and brake calipers.

Still looking for rims to throw some snow tires onto. Anyone know what other Nissan rims will fit the 2014/2015 Rogue without issue? Oh, I need to correct something I posted above...stock rims are 18" , not 19"
