Would the Nissan GT-R Wheels fit the A/C?Or are there similar designs like this?

Just thought those rims look really nice. I'm not sure if they are stock or what, or who designs them.

What size are they? 19s?

Or maybe it's just the spacing between the wheel and the body that makes it look extremely nice, yet the A/C has a lot of space.

Here's a link for ya:

To summarize, the front is 20 x 9.5 and the rear is 20 x 10.5. This means that they are both really wide and staggered.

Staggered rims are... Debatable on a front wheel drive car for obvious reasons. As for the actual size of the rims, well, they are just too wide. I really don't think they would fit under the fender and, although the offset is not stated, it can be assumed that wheels this wide have a low offset (not sure if this is always correct).

So I would have to say no, they wouldn't fit, at least not easily. Plus, getting your hands on those would cost a fortune!

I think there are better looking wheels out there, but from the pics I have seen the oem GT-R rims are too wide for the coupe..

even if GT-R wheels fit you cant afford any. the only place to get them is the dealer and you'll have to prove that you own a GT-R. oh and a GT-R owner cant get after market wheels because of some ghey sensor

Not to mention that even if you could somehow fit them, you wouldn't even be able to find them. Only 6000 GT-R's are hitting US shores. 12,000 are being produced, and half of them are staying on the other side of the Pacific.

Yes, I thought that would be the answer. I was hoping someone could point me to a company that has a production of rims in the similar style.

The only way to reduce the space between the body and the tires is lowering the car, but that is no where better for the car to actually handle? I do get bothered by the space between there.

Thanks for the input guys.

Actually, in most cases, lowering the center of gravity will improve handling of your vehicle. Except in cases when people will "slam" their cars a ridiculous amount by cutting springs

Well, these wheels would also be used in a lot of snow, which is the typical weather around here, so it's always keep me from investing going some 19s.

Ooo, those rooms that mcheddadi are really nice!
