Wheel Fitment Questions

[los_inc]

hey folks,

i have a 2010 rogue and i'm getting bored of the stock sl wheels.
i currently have a set of SSR Type-C RS wheels (18x9.5 +30 offset) that i would like to install.
has anyone tried fitting this wide of a wheel before.
as far as tires are concerned i'm thinking of running 245/50/r18 Yokohama avid s.4
please feel to make suggestions
thanks again for all your help.

Hi there, we have an existing wheel fitment thread, here is the link:

aftermarket-wheel-tire-fitment-chart-t293478.html

I haven't had a chance to check the thread and confirm that it will answer your question but it's a good start. Good luck.

thank you for the quick reply.
i can't seem to find anything about fitting such a wide wheel on a rogue.
i guess i'll just test fit them this weekend.
i'll make sure to post my results
thanks

I think you will be one of the first, although I have seen 22 inch wheels on Car Domain. Can you weigh the wheels with tires before you put them on? Also, tell us how it drives!

[los_inc]

the wheels are about 19lbs and change almost 20lbs
which is about 4 pounds lighter then stock.
i only have a pair accesible at the moment
so i'm going to test fit them on the front and take some pictures at full lock and stuff
also the rims currently have on them 225/40/r18 which a little to stiff for the rogue.

I can already see the first issue... although it's largely cosmetic.

The Rogue has very long front spindles/axles that stick out past the hub surface by a good 2 inches. You will have issues getting the hubcaps on with that kind of wheel design. Many have tried already: Venom Rogue, Madox75, etc.

ya i was reading about that thanks for the heads up Philip.
i guess it's a good thing i never got them, i think SSR sells them separately.

Wow, that is crazy light!! My 18 x 8 Enkei's are about 24 lbs. Mind you, one of your wheels is the cost of my entire set in the States.

hey guys, so i finally got a chance to test fit the wheels.
i still haven't mounted the tires i plan on using with these wheels.(245/55/R18)
i currently have 225/40/r18 mounted since these wheels were on my 240sx
either way here are some test shots sorry for the cell phone pix i left my dslr at work.

I think they look great! You probably don't have to worry about the center caps as most wheels like yours don't use them. How can you go wrong with SSR? The real question is does the width and offset of the rim affect wheel geometry? Is it pushed out too much for your liking? What are your options? Sell them and buy a whole new set? Since they are on 225 tires now, maybe you should go for 235 series tires though.

we haz fitment!


fits like a glove left front rubs at full lock only when going up a hill
i'll keep you guys posted.

edit: the rubbing is from the front left mud flap.
now i have a reason to get rally amour mud flaps
