I was thinking about getting ROTA P45R 18x9.5 +30 offset rims for my 2008 Altima Coupe 2.5. Would these rims fit properly on the coupe on both the front and rear? The car has no modifications currently. Thanks in advance!

they'll fit but they'll stick out a bit, 8.5 rims with 33 offset are pretty much flush so you'll stick out just a tad, maybe half an inch or so

My guess would be 245/45/18. But I'm definitely not a tire expert. But I'm sure if you call tire rack...1-888-353-5082. They can tell you the exact size you would need. :mike

245's on a 30mm rim may scrub and need the fender lips rolled in the back.

play around with a tire calculator, put in your stock tire size and try to find the right match, i think that 245/45/18 is about the same as stock. http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp? ... &text2=g35

if you plan to roll your fender up , then 245 is OK , but if not it will be rub special when you lower the car ..my tire is 245/35/19 with off set 30 and it rub the rear all the time until i rolled the fender up. good luck :whistle:

To the OP, make sure to get the right tires that are able to stretch better. Not a fan of over stretching. Your aggressive wheel size and offset is going to look very awkward without a drop. Lower the car ASAP.

yup...and on most Nissan's it's usually the rear passenger side that is the worse one for rubbing.

Thanks for the quick great responses everyone! I think I will get my fenders rolled and get 245/40/18 tires on the 18x9.5 +30 wheels and probably some eibach springs. Would 40 be a good tire height for springs? Thanks again, this was very useful.
