Stanced wheels on a budget.
So I am currently running stock 2003 18x8.5 nissan wheels. Front tires 225/45/18 and rear 245/45/18. I have been looking for some new wheels but wanted to know if anyone might know a set that would give me a more stanced look. I believe the stock wheels are +35 offset? What offset looks the best? Wanting to spend less than 600$ Thanks.

For 18"s most people go with 18x9.5 for the front and 18x10.5 for the rear with an offset of +15. I mention those because any setup that is larger than 18 and with an offset less than that will be out of your price range. The tires alone are going to eat up most of your budget, unless you plan on stretching yours. Mine are 18x10.5 with +15 and I am not flush in the rear. I could definitely use a spacer. I ran spacers on my stock wheels and I was able to get pretty flush, if you want to run 25mm spacers. I am not an expert, so I would think someone else with more info will chime in.

Actually not looking to do the *stance crap* My wheels look like they suck into the car too much. Just want to have a good offset that just gives the car a better look.

As gmotion said, close to flush fit without spacers:
18 (or 19 or 20 or...) x 9.5 +15mm offset FRONT
18 (ibid) x10.5 +15mm offset REAR
Look at the last pic of this post for what this looks like:

Then note that the rears are only 9.5 meaning I could go 10.5 without too much trouble.
My car is NOT what anyone would call "stanced" (or I hope not). It's a performance setup that works. Hundreds if not thousands of Zs here run similar setups. Hope this helps some.
Oh, and if you want to try keeping this on a budget, it can be done - unless your $600 budget is for wheels AND tires.
This thread shows what you can do with a budget of about $600 for WHEELS ALONE:

Not a balla. Just a college student working part time trying to have some fun on a budget. Daddy's money could not afford me new wheels after he bought me a 350z *LOL* Ill buy name brand wheels one day when I'm rich like you! (;

shiiiiiiiit, i am far from rich but work hard for what i have. on a serious note, if i were you i would wait until you can get something you want instead of getting something meh. enkei rpf1 are good, light, and reasonably priced at $320ish per wheel for the proper specs.
