Does anyone know if Murano 18" wheels will fit an 08 Rogue S AWD?I know the originals are 16" with a +40mm offset and the murano"s are 18" with a +35 offset. but I don't know if they will work.

They will. I was checking for it the whole summer but I was looking if anybody sells the rims from 09 murano. Those are gorgeous in my opinion and they are actually 19" I believe.

Thanks for the reply, I went and bought these today.

Sounded like a good deal to me. They are local so I avoided the shipping cost, & these wheels are in perfect condition. Just put the bare wheel on & seemed as though everything will work fine.

Thanks again Rick

The 2009 Murano SE wheels are 18x7.5 +50. The 2009 Murano LE Wheels are 20x7.5 +50.

The 20" wheels are very big wheels for the Rogue. They may be a tight fit depending on tire size. The combination of large offset and a wider rim & tire may cause the tire to rub in the wheel wells. Also, the lower profile tire used on 20" wheels is going to deteriorate ride quality... read: very stiff and noisy. If you are interested in doing this, the only way to be sure is to try. No one here has yet to try 20" wheels.

BTW, if you choose the use the Murano wheels you will have to replace the tires regardless. The Murano tires are far too large for the Rogue... by over 8%. This difference will throw off the speedometer and may adversely affect the ABS, VDC and AWD systems.

I will post some pics once the weather clears up.

When I went to pick up the wheels, I learned that they had a good supply of them in two differnt styles. They were very accomidating, and good people to do business with, so if anyone is intrested in buying a set

I bought Yokohama Avid TRZ (225/55/18) & had them put on. What a difference! The original tires were so noisy, I thought the car sounded really cheap. But now it is so quiet I can't beleive just changing tires would make such a difference, quite an improvement in handling also.

Excellent, the Yok Avid TRZ has gotten some good reviews by other Rogue owners.

One headlight to practice $140+q45 projectors $150+ rings $45 +nissan maxima ballast and xenon bulbs $150 + other parts don't remember how much = roughly $500-$550 The 2nd headlight I could not find anywhere so I just started to cut the original from the car on weekends after completing the 1st:)
