I bet you could fit 18" wheels on it. Not sure why you'd want to...but you probably could. I've test-fit 18" wheels on my older Maxima that has the same diameter stock wheels/tires as the Versa and the set I was fitting actually looked good (non-chrome!).

Does anyone know if the nismo wheels from a (B15)sentra will fit on the Versa. I am ordering a Versa in January( or whenever the sports package comes out ) and if able to will be putting my Nismo wheels on the versa off of my Sentra, thetire size will be 215-45-17, I normally run a 225-45 on the Sentra but think that may be too wide for the versa.

any suggestions?

17" x 7.5", less weight and much better handling.

Well I already have the rims (5 actually including the spare) im just concerned for the fit, the tires are pretty thin on that car i think 185 wide to push 215 seems like on hell of a jump, in terms of clearing the struts and not rubbing on turns, I will have to check the offsets and see.

I'm going wider but I'm going to replace the springs and struts at the same time.

i dont know i test fitted one of my old prelude 17's gunmetal rim to check out size and see if i should go lighter or darker rims. the tires for the versa might need a bigger profile tires, which is good since that means less bent rims for me.

I now want 18 on the, but i will most likely stick to 17 or less for weight issue, now i am thinking of trying out black rims. :P

And the Versa has to be lower if you want to get some nice rims. grrr more money to spend.

For A 17 Inch Rim It Looks Tiny On The Versa.Make Sure You Don't Throw Off Your Wheel Sensor(tpc) Or The Speedo!

haha not even one day old and it was wearing new shoes. haha. i had a old set of 17's rims from my prelude. The offset is nice, but yes the 17's are small but it has a lip, so it looks smaller. But the tires need a larger profile, because i check the gap and the stock sit taller then my 17's.

grrr choices choices, i want rims now!!!

These are 7.5 wide, 40 mm offset. Tires are 205/55 - 16. There is just a couple mm clearance to the suspension at the front. At stock height no issues with the body.
