Thumbs up question and opinions on this size....

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

yeah i tried that earlier tonight and i just couldn't figure it out... im tire retarded.... i have no idea about anything about offsets... it just doesn't make sense to me... the lower the number the further out it sticks out? you'd think its the other way around...

awesome... that answered alot of questions...

now for your opinions on tire sizes... 245/40 and 275/45... will that keep my diameter within the allowed size for the VDC not to act up? or should i run 245/40 and 275/40 as stated above?

The wheels are the same as the NISMO wheels. Recommended tires are here: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...ode=4030S-18SR
