What about these? Anybody have any comments?? Good or bad. Paul

I dunno, 5 spoke wheels are just so right proportion wise... so I like the first set. The second set look very ricer IMHO... not my cup of tea.

Too bad I never put the wheels from my Alty on the Rogue. I sold them a month ago. They were ROH Drift-R wheels in 17x8 with correct offset for FWD Nissan's including the Rogue. I could have shoe horned some 255's under the fenders with those and it would have looked pretty mean. But they are totally impractical for my kind of driving (dirt roads, construction sites, etc). Stockers are just fine and I likely get some new tires for them at some point... along with a set of steelies and snow tires for winter.

Thanks, thats what I kind of thought as well. These wheels are not even that expensive( $150.00) Hope they are half decent quality. They are American Eagle MSR wheels.

What are the details? What diameter, width and offset (for the first set)? I'm not a fan of the second set, either.

Not really sure about the details. They are just 17" wheels similar size as the stock wheels. I just want to use the Conti's for now and get some snowtires in the fall and put them on the stock wheels.

Found it here.

Looks like same offset as stock (+40mm), and at 7.5" a good width for the stock 225 section width tires. As far as fitment for the stock tires on a Rogue SL, you really can't do better than this. As far as quality, I think they should be decent, considering the parent company.

Just make sure whoever sells you these wheels provides you with the requisite installation hardware (hubcentric rings and lugs to suit the wheels and Rogue). Hopefully these fit the TPMS sensors okay; see if your seller can check this before you purchase.

Ed, thanks for the reply. I am dealing with a very reputable tire place here in Edmonton and they know their stuff.

Looking at MAAS rims 245 352R- 20 95 W Nitto tires and life time warrenty that where on my sons altima there just a little big for his 05 . What am I to expect with that size tire, he is telling me I will here more road noise and a different steering and handling. I know they look new and there not cheep. For a new set of stock tires on the 05 Altima I can get the Maas and Nito tires any though would help.

245's on an Alty is iffy. I had 245/45R17 and they just cleared. I can see those tires having lots of issues if the offset was not carefully chosen.

Anyway, those tires are small for the Rogue by about 3%. You really should stay as close as possible to the stock diameter (less than 1%) to avoid issues with the ABS, VDC, and AWD systems. Not to mention 35 series tires on 20's will not be very comfortable... I would expect more noise (due to higher performance tires) and alot rougher ride.
