I notice that the 370 has similar wheels to the rogue SL

has anyone tried fitting the front wheels of a 370 on a rogue ?

will these fit >?

also is there any company that makes identical wheels just in an 18" as opposed to a 17 inch wheel ? :confused:

Although the bolt pattern and hub diameter of the 370 wheels are the same as the Rogue, the wheel offsets are completely different. To make matters worse, the 370Z uses different offsets front and rear which will not look correct when installed on the Rogue. ie, the rear tires will be pushed further in than the fronts.

The only way I can see doing this is to get four 370Z front wheels of the same type. The offsets are very close to the Rogue and should work. Good luck finding them though... the 370Z has scarcely been out 2 years so used parts will be difficult to find. New OEM wheels from the dealer are very expensive: about $800/each.

Oh, the 2011 Rogue now comes with an 18" wheel option:

There should be any issues using any OEM Nissan wheels so long as they fit and you use the correct sized tires.

Where you start to have problems is if you use incorrect offsets. This can negatively affect suspension and wheel bearing life.

Some Rules of Thumb:

- Keep the tire diameter with 3% of the OEM tires.
- Keep the wheel offset within +/- 3mm of stock (Stock offset is 40mm)

If you want to know more about how wheel offsets can affect handling, do a google search on 'wheel offset scrub radius'.
