Black rims + redp lip...

jus wondering if these wheels would fit my 2.5s 09 coupe

18x8 4x100/114.3 45 Offset

found them on craigs.
i am looking at the tenzo tenspec
and what size tires would i need?
sorry!! i known this is in the wrong part of the forums, but i am looking for a speedy reply!. thanks!!!

They will not fit without running some kind of adapters. Our wheels are 5x114.3. and the offset is the same as stock so personally I would go with a little wider rim and lower offset but they will look identical to stock if you can find the same hub pattern....

[elevate]

hmm what kinda of adapters are you talking about?

o sorry forgot to post a link here:

would any of them fit?

[DJ_B_Easy]

All of them will fit. They have dual hole patterns, anything with 5 x 114 listed will fit.

Sorry I can't contribute to the technical aspect of this thread but nice choice, Tenspecs were my second choice next to the Cuzcos.

In the original thread he was asking about 4x100 wheels. There are a few places that make or can make 4x100 to 5x114 adapters. They will be thick though. Unless it was a typo and he meant dual drilled 5x100/5x114 wheels. Then Id say just go with something a little wider, a little lower offset, or run some regular spacers once he buys the wheels. You can never go wrong with tenzo's though. All of the rims on that link you posted would fit. If your looking for something that will look really good then stay away from the +45 offset wheels. Cause it would be the same as stock and still sink way too far in. If I were you id run a 235/40/18 tire on rims that size unless you want to stretch a 225/40/18 a little bit. Some would even say 215 but that would be quite the stretch, a little cali style. I wouldnt do anything like that unless you were running some serious spacers with rolled fenders and coilovers maxed low.

It is quite impossible I think man...

i'm assuming you're talking about the 2nd to last rim in the craigs ad. the rims listed on the ad for the 4x100/114 will not fit without an adapter like mentioned. the good thing is, that since the offset is so high that when you use the adapter then the wheels should sit pretty flush with your fenders.

an easier thing to do would go with the last set of rims on the ad, those are 19x5.114 which will fit without an adapter. the offset is still a little bit high at 45, but since the rims are 8" wide then they should be fine. you won't sit very flush but you also won't be really deep into your fenders. just so you know, stock rims are about 7" wide and 45 offset so the new wheels will stick out 1" further than stock.

for tires, if you're getting 8" wide rims then you should get anything from 225 to 245 tires.

thanks for all the info, really appreciate it. i was just asking because i ordered bc racing coils couple of days ago, so i wanted to get the wheels and tires as well. ive been looking into the whole wheel plus tire deal and it is REALLY confusing to me

[trigger_storey]

It always depends on how good the deal is. Sometimes its cheaper to buys wheels seperate than tires if you have a good place around that will mount and balance for a good price. Alot of guys just go with the tire and wheel combo because the dont want to mess with having to get them mounted and balanced. The thing to watch out for is if the place your buying from mounts and balances them with the tpms sensors also or your just going to have to turn around and pull the tires back off anyways. If you need any info just pm me and Ill give you my phone number and explain everything a little more in depth. Good luck bro

for sure bro
my email is [email protected]
if you cant mail me any info on that, would be dope.
i was actually thinking of buying the wheels and tires separate, because my aunt owns a tire shop where they do all that

[trigger_storey]

If you buy tires and wheels seperate just make sure you either buy new tpms sensors off ebay or through your nissan dealer or you can take the stock ones out of your stock wheels and tires and have them put it the new wheels and tires. When you take your car in just tell them you want your sensors switched over to the new wheels and then the new tires mounted and balanced. If you buy the wheel and tire package you need to see if the place your buying them from offers new tpms installed or once you get them you will have to have the shop take the new tires off, put the sensors in, and then remount the tires all over again. Also make sure whatever wheel you buy you see what the hub bore is on it because alot of companies run a different hub size than what our coupes are. You can just google hubcentric rings and see what Im talking about. Once you pick the wheels find the size and then get the reducer to your hub size which is 66.1 I would suggest the aluminum ones as the rubber or plastic ones can crack or get hot and melt. If your family owns a tire shop you should have no problem getting this done. Anything else just ask. I just had all this done and I think it cost me about 80 dollars to get everything switched over and new tires mounted and balanced etc. And that was just from some shop down the road, no deals or family etc.

arite that sounds good!
the only part im not understanding is the part about the hubcentric rings, ill google it to get more info. but that is definitely new info because i have never heard of that.
and i really appreciate it your help and time on writing these explanations!!
and i think i will have to bring someone with me that knows about all this, when i buy anything that has to do with wheels and tires haha
because as i kept reading and looking into it more, i learned that there is a lot more going on than just buying a wheel and putting it in lol

Its just alot of the wheels they make dont fit on our car. The inside of the rim is bigger than the actual hub on our car. The ring is basically just a spacer that fits over the hub to make the rim fit onto the car. Helps make it fit tight and gets get of vibration etc. Anything else just ask man. I had alot of questions before I started doing things to my car also. I came from a mustang and never knew anything about hubcentric rings or tpms sensors etc.
