Performance tire and wheel package question

From Infiniti.com:

Performance Tire and Wheel Package

- 7-spoke, 18-inch titanium-finished aluminum-alloy wheels (replaces 17-inch wheels) - 225/45R18 (front)/245/45R18 (rear) W-rated performance tires

Anyone know what the width of the wheels are in this package? I have this package and am curious, thanks.

I believe 8" for both F&R. Of course, factory front wheels are indexed so they can't be swapped with rears. Is it not stated in your owner's manual?The manual should show all factory wheel dimensions.

Thanks for the reply. I looked in my manual a little closer and found that they are indeed 8" wide.

The front and rear wheels have different offsets, I believe. Look inside the wheel for the width and offset information.

Should have mentioned it. Both are 30mm per OM.

The wheels are 18x8 with +30mm offset. Although the wheels can be used front or rear, when looking for part numbers, the list a part number specfically for front wheel and one for the rear wheel.

Ah! Thanks for the correction. That is a change from the past. It used to be 30mm and 33mm offsets - I forget which was the front and which was the back. Meant you could not "rotate" tires front to back.

If the offset is now 30mm on all wheels, then it should be fine to swap front to back, I would think.

Or, is there some other reason not to?

No problem at all to rotate. The 17" wheels and 19" wheels on the coupe have different offsets front to rear. the 350 z has different offsets on the 17's and the track wheels. Not 100% on the 18's.

On my 18" wheel pkg. there is an extra stud off the front hub that will only fit inside a recess on the front wheel, not the rear wheel. This is how they keep them from being swapped.
