Because they passed a law in a certain province, all dealership are BO on Versa steel rims until next spring. Now there is no way in hell I will be running my mags in the snow/salt/winter crap.

Is there a concensus on what other wheels fit the Versa? Anything from older Sentra's? I need rims that I can fit 185/65/15.

I did search in here and found nada.

I had a set of S13 teardrop which my girlfriend now use as winter wheels for her Versa. They fit like a glove.

I went through the same routine in shopping for steelies for winter tires. Wound up buying 4 rims off a 2007 Nissan Sentra for $100.00. They are a little wider, but everything fits without rubs. I got a set of 205 60 15's and they are incredible. The Versa tracks straight and the ride is even better.

Those are the same winter tires I have on the Q (but in 215-60-15). Fantastic in the rain. Haven't had to test them in the snow yet.

For a minute I was wondering how you were using 5-lug wheels on the Versa. Then I noticed the box with the plastic hubcap in it.

With a Versa, any other OEM Nissan wheel won't hit the caliper. All have about the same offset. To hit the caliper the wheel would need to be higher than +50 or so on a 6" wheel.

Hi There MOD..this Pic's for you...[IMG][/IMG]

My wifes original old 1994 Maxima with 84,000 miles, now parked in the Barn. Our new 07' Versa SL with CVT was the replacement.

Every now and then she wistfully visits it and wishes we were still using it.

Didn't somebody on here with 2nd-gen G20 wheels need spacers to fit their Versa? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have the stock wheels off of my Q45. They are 15" and stock tire size was 195 wide.

According to my sizing guide a Versa takes:

*OEM 15" or 16"

*4x114.3 bolt pattern (also 4x4.5")

*66.1mm or greater center hub diameter

*Recommended Offset of 35 to 42mm

------------------------------------------------------------

The Q45 wheels are:

. . . dammit. They are 5 lug. Oh well. GL on finding some wheels.

You should be able to get some off of eBay for a half decent price.
