I really really love the Status S805 Game.

My question is, will they fit my 2009 Nissan Murano SL? I know I want 20s, but what I can't decide or figure out is if they have to be 20x8.5 or 20x9 and also if the offset has to be +35 or +40 or whatever the best fit will be. I don't want to do any modifications to my fender or brakes, just bolt and go. Can you help me with this plz?

Thanks in advance

The safest way to upsize your wheels without issue is to simply upsize the wheels using the same specs your OEM wheels have. For example, if your OEM wheels are 18x7.5 (45) offset. Purchase a set of 20" wheels that are 20x7.5 (45). Doing so will eliminate the need to role fenders, clear your brakes, and prevent interior suspension rubbing because you upgraded within the OEM specs. However, you will also need to take into consideration the tire size you mount on the wheels too. Be sure not to mount tires that are to thick or wide on your 20" wheels are you may experience fender, and/or interior suspension contact.
