I have just recently gotten a 2008 Altima coupe in Code Red and I have to change the factory 16s. I know I want to get 18s since I am still in college and tires are cheaper than 19s or 20s and I can still lower it in a couple years if I get tired of the ride height. But I don't know much about offset or even what style/brands to get. Thanks for the help.

Do you have any wheels in mind? I mean looks wise, have you seen anything you like?

We can definitely help you with offset/tire sizes, just need to see what you have in mind first.

I'd start looking into Varrstoens, if you're on a budget and into 18" wheels.

I've liked the look of the Konig Integram, Rohana RL-06, and some 5 spoke designs. The Varrstoen ES3 are nice too. I'm leaning more towards a black wheel but I'm definitely open to something that would look sick.

I found a set of 18in Rohana RL-06 wheels in matte black, Front 18x8 et37 Rear 18x9 et40 with Goodyear Eagle Sport 225/45/18 on the front and Toyo 245/45/18 in the rear for $1000. They were on a g35 and he ran them with spacers. Any worries about buying these or anything extra needed?

You can definitely fit those. But if you want it that flush look then you'll need spacers in the rear.

I'm also looking for some advice on wheel fitment issues. I really like the Touren TR9's, black with machined face. I wanna stay at 17x7", but I have a question about the offset. Would a +42 offset cause any scrubbing issues? I've made no suspension mods, the car is stock height. I know I will need center bore spacers, and found some for a decent price. I just wanted to know if this offset is too high. Another user told me to stay in the +30 range, so I'm hoping these will work. Thanks for the help, guys.

I never knew buying wheels could be so complicated!

what size spacers did you get? +42 is high but should clear your struts. I wouldn't risk it to be honest, they don't sell those wheels in better specs?
