will the 2003 nissan oem 18 inch murano rims fit on my 08 rogue?

[08nissanrogue]

hi there.

i was just wondering if anyone know if these wheels fit ok on a 08 rogue?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...43958

i know that the rogue have a +40mm offset stock and a 66.06mm center bore. bolt pattern for the rogue is 5x114.3 which is the same as the murano rims. but these rims have an offset of +35mm and i dont know the center bore.also i wanted to add: will the 5mm different offset wear out my wheel bearings? because i read a thread earlier saying on this chart to stay as close to +40mm offset as possible.

any help would be appreciatedthanks in advance

Good question! I've been looking at new wheels myself and wondered the same thing. I'm looking at 18x8 and 19x8 with a 40 offset, I've been told that 38-42 will also be okay but I want to know if going a bit lower or higher will work too. Will running a 35 or 45 offset be a problem?

I don't see why not. It is a same bolt pattern as most of the nissan/infinity which is 5x114.3. I wasn't thinking about chrome wheels for myself but these don't look that bad. Looks like it came from manufacture this way.

i can't answer the fit question, but if you're looking to save a few dollars, I'm pretty sure you can get some aftermarket rims for about the same amount give or take a hundred dollars and have a much larger selection. I'd check some of the aftermarket suppliers on the right or just Google some rims and see what pops up. you might be pleasantly surprised.

good luck and please post some pics!

Depending on model year, the Murano was available with factory chrome wheels. There aren't many out there... at least not that I have seen.

As for offset, it's not that uncommon to adjust offset to fit a particular wheel or to get a certain look. +5mm is not a big deal in my book. Heck, I run Altima steel rims during winter with a +45 offset... never had problems.

Anyway, the Murano wheels with +35 offset will actually push the wheels out a bit... I punched the values into an offset calculator:

Compared to OEM 17x7 +40, the Murano wheels will be 11mm or 7/16" further out (closer to the edge of the fender). The interior clearance (from the strut) is almost the same... 1/32" inch outwards. This will give a more 'flush' appearance to the wheels. Tire clearance is a non-issue as the Rogue has huge wheel wells. The only downside to all of this? You have to stick with the same 225 width tire... you cannot go wider on a 7.5" rim width.

I still like the wheels Eddnog put on his Rogue. IMHO very classy, and just enough rubber (sidewall height)... no 1/2' 'rubberband' look here.

thanks for the info

i just needed to know that these wheels will fit and mount no problem and not wear out my wheel bearings fast.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories

and ive found a thead saying all 89+ nissan/infiniti's center bore is 66.1mmjust a little info i wanted to add for others on this thread that might not know like me lol

im getting a fairly good deal on these rims from a local guy. i just wanted to confirm that they will fit with no prob.

thanks for the info everyone

ill try to post pics up after i slap the rims on.

any ideas on what size profile tires i should run?

i was thinking. 225/55/18's?

i would sure like to go lower profile like 50mm or 45mm but i think that changes the overall diameter and circumference of the wheels and will cause speed error @ 60mph. just something i read off a chart. dont quote me on that. lol

So if I was to get an 18 inch rim, would it be better to get a 38 or 42 offset?

[dolbydj]

Also, would it make a difference if it were a 7.5 or 8 inch wide rim?

judging from the info we're gettin from philipa, i guess it doesnt matter. so if you want your rims popping out more, go with the lower offset. if you want your rims more tucked in, go with the higher offset.

[philipa_240sx]

A 5mm difference in offset is not a big deal. Now if it were something like 25mm I would be concerned.

Eddnog produced an excellent tire and wheel fitment chart that explains all the tire sizes available for the Rogue. Read more here:

If you want to go with 18's then 225/55-18 would work but I would recommend going with a wider tire and possibly a wider wheel.

I want to go with 19's and run 245/45-19 tires just like Ed but to cut down on wheel and tire costs I'm going to go with 18's and 235/50-18 tires. The sidewalls on the 245/45's is 4.3" and on the 235/50's is 4.6", so the look other than the 1" difference in the wheel size will be close but with a bit more tire (which is always good for comfort). Take a look at the VW Tiguan and BMW X3, they both come with optional 18" wheels and 235/50-18 tires, I think the tire/wheel size is a good compromise of style, performance and function.

are you sure i can mount 235mm tires on a 18x7.5inch rim? someone earlier on this thread sayz it cant be done with a 7.5inch wide rim. 225mm is max? yea sure i would love to go 235/50/18's but i dont want to compromise the tire/tread life.let me know what u guys think.thanks again

[dolbydj]

I am no expert, but you can mount a 235 tire on a 7.5 inch rim. A quick search on google will tell you that it can be ill advised. You can get uneven tire wear and less that factory spec tire performance under load as the sidewall will be slightly protruding from the rim. There is an excellent article on this months (Nov 09) DSPORT dragsport.com regarding wheel weight and size. It found that a 1 inch wider chrome wheel and tire combo weighed 10lbs more and produced 5 less horsepower at the wheel. This might not be much of a factor for cars producing 250+hp, but ours only make 170. Here is an excellent chart to compare the weight of wheels http://wheelweights.net/ Good luck on your wheel choice and let us know how you did!

Nissan put 245-45's on factory 7.5" rims (2004+ Maxima) so I see no issue.

[skholla]

235mm wide tires will fit a 7.5-8.5" wide wheel.

Sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead, but just curious if anyone has pics of a Rogue with the 03-05 Murano 18" wheels. I have my eye on a set.

Also, is there any problem with the front spindle being too long causing interference with the wheel center cap?

TIA

[old sparks]

Well, it cost me 40 bucks and a quarter tank of gas, but I am able to say with certainty that the 2003 murano oem 18 wheel will clear the front spindle on a 2012 Rogue.

[audtatious]

Did you purchase a set for your Rogue? If so, we always like pix

[old sparks]

Yes. I managed to score 3 more Murano rims at the wrecker. Unfortuantely, they could use repainting, which I will do over the winter. I'll be certain to post pics come spring. Now to scope out some deals on 225/55r18 tires...

i have a set of 20s which will fit. would let them go cheap
