I know this is not VIP but I just brought some murano rims off ebay because I wanted to keep everything nico. I have not received them yet but they have a +50 offset and the size is 20x7.5, and I'm going to put some 235/40's on them. Do you think the offset will stick out or will it tuck just under the fender or will it fit flush. I know the original is a +40 but it is 8.5" wide and I dont know if that affects the offset.

Opinions??

Offset is from centerline, so yes, the width of the rim and the offset affect the tuck.

I seen a murano at the yard and thought the same thing. I wanted to get them lol.

My issue is the cost of tires for those. I can still get all 4 tires for under $300. These 17, 18, 19 newer wheels get too expensive tire wise. Considering how horrible the roads are in this country, I feel safer on ugly 215/60R16s lol.

I once seen in Las Vegas 1 pothole flatten 3 tires in 1 night. I was waiting in the parking lot with my friends Malibu on 20s waiting for her to get some help. I’ve hit tons of craters and was sure I’d have a blowout, but knock on rubber...

Every thing came in today 4- Achilles 245/40/20's off Amazon and 4 20 inch Murano rims off a 2011. The rim is 7.5 inches wide but the 245 fits perfect with no bugle. And it looks amazing. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

Got the rims for 90 each and the tires for 70 each
So a total of 360+280= $640

19s are a choice rim but the tireS are to pricey when it is time to replace.

Here is the picture. I am still going to put half inch spacers on the wheels to bring out a little further because they sit exactly where the factory rims sit. And I want them them just a little further out but not enough to roll the finders.

I got nissan center caps with nissan removed, but I just ordered the infiniti gaps off a g35, same color so now they will be a complete set when they come in from ebay. But I do wish I had the premium edition. If I find one the same color for cheap I am going to grab it.

I know right. It's the forgotten luxury car. This body style was the least remembered by people. You see more of the other ones on the road than the f50 bodies. Since I brought this car in july I have yet to pass one on the road in Virginia. Seen a bunch of y33 bodies though. Go figure, like somebody brought all the f50s and hiding them in a garage somewhere.

Agreed! I'm in Southern California and don't come across very many F50's. When I do, they are very well taken care of and the owners still enjoy them.

Here is my 02. I came across these takoff's from a new 2019 Q70. Glad these are on. I was getting fed up with having to replace the original center bolt covers. They become brittle and was replacing one every couple of years.
