I just recently purchased a 2009 nissan morano LE. It is a great car. My other car that I had, had 18 inch tires. I have a set of 18 inch tires for the snow that are in great shape. I am having a very hard time locating the 20 inch tires that I need for this newer car. Can I change the tires and wheel size from 20 inch to 18 inch or am I stuck?

You can definitely downsize your wheels/tires to 18" if you get the right size.

Wheels - You need the same bolt pattern, width and offset.
Tires - You need the same outside diameter so your speedo won't be off.

235/65/18 is the closest and off by only 0.5%. That is actually the stock size for all 18" Murano wheels.

Right on! Find a deal on the 18' rims and buy some snow tires and you will be all set. Maybe check e-bay or even your local Craigslist. There should be a lot of them out there.
