I have an 08 A/C with the 16" rims so I've been searching for some bigger wheels.

I came accross these on craigslist.

Hey! Look what's at the top of the Suspension, Brakes, Rims and Tires section of the Altima forum!

Try posting in the thread made specifically to answer these questions instead of opening a new one. :poke:

if those really are 18's, yes they will fit, and you shouldn't have to worry about rubbing at all on a stock suspension, or even eibachs. next time though, it would be nice to specify that they are 18x8 +35 or +40, it makes life a bit easier. :dblthumb:

No, pontiacs run a 5x115 bolt pattern, the ac runs a 5x114.3 (5x4.5). The offsets would be comparable to the ac, but you would need some sort of adapter to make them fit. They make adapters, but I have never tried them.

I didn't know what their offset etc was...the guy said he didn't know either so after finding them on the net I thought I'd ask the wheel gooroos...
But thanks for pointing out the specific wheel thread...12-16hr shifts all week make my patience for searches non existant. :crazy:


Spawn thanks for the info...think I'll keep looking around now...Really want black or gunmetal anyways. :naughty:

i searched around a bit, didn't find the sport edition kv5 in a 18x8 5x115mm, so i assumed that the pontiac driver used a 114.3. If it is a 5x115, then my mistake, it won't fit (at least not safely), don't even bother trying.

a pontiac driver could stuff a 5x114.3 on his car, dumb (not to mention extremely dangerous) as that may be, but hey, people aren't exactly the brightest. sadly, i've seen it done before :tisk:

dude it's sticked at the top of the forum subsection, not even a half page down from the new topic button :facepalm:
