Anybody confirm whether the 2000 I30t wheel is the same as the 2000-2001Q wheel. The 2000-2001Q45 wheel has a recall on it. The I does not, thereby leading me to believe they are different. Anybody know the width ot the I and if it will support a 92Q?

According to the owner manuals on http://www.nissan-techinfo.com, they are different. 2000 I30t's wheels are 17x7 with a 45mm offset. 2000-2001 Q45t's wheels are 17x7.5 with a 30mm offset.

The 17x7 with 45mm offset will fit the Q, I believe, but the tire selection choices for the narrower width is a bit limiting.

Almost all the 245/45-17 tires need 7.5" rims - see my post in a related tire thread on available tires (in a text form that you can read into Excel - if you want the Excel file directly, please drop me an e-mail).

So you have to get something less wide (like a 225 or 235) or higher aspect ratio (like a 50 or 60).
