Hey guys I'm looking to get new wheels soon and was looking at the Gold Rota T2R's. I don't know the Wheel Diameter/Width, the bolt pattern, or offset I will be wanting/needing though. I've got an '04 performance model that I daily and I drive pretty aggressively.
(edit) Or maybe matte bronze STR 524's.


Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

OK, if you go with the Rotas, those are available in 18x9.5 +20 or +38 offset. Stay away from the +38 and go with the +20. If you want/need to stagger rear 18x10 +25 and those will work fine.

Pair these with 245/40-18F and 275/40-18R and this will be a nice set up without issues. Most likely will not need to roll the fender lips at all unless aggressively lowered.

Oh and those all have a 73mm center hub hole. You will need hub ring adapters sized 73.1mm ==> 66.1mm to fit properly with Nissan hub. $5 on Ebay or from whoever sells you the wheels.

FWIW, the STRs only come in 18x9 +30. Too close to stock fitment, IMO.

I'm running a 245/40-18 F and 265/40-18 R on OEM Touring V2 wheels (8 F / 8.5 R) so I would think with 9 F and 10 R you would want / desire / need even wider rubber no?

I have the same sized tires on 9.5 wheels, they fit fine. Your a little wide for those 8.5s

If you follow the "1.2 Rule"; that is, a tire width shouldn't exceed the wheel width by 120% (1.2x), you're fine. Stated otherwise, in order to get the maximum performance out of a given tire, your best bet is to stay within 0.9x to 1.2x tread width:wheel width ratio.

Physically, you can go up or down a bit but performance drops off outside of the above range.

While rarely advertised or mentioned by shops, this is the range of the tire manufacturer's "minimum and maximum RECOMMENDED wheel width" for given size tire.

Thanks for your help.
Would I be able to use my 245-45-18 until the tread is gone then upgrade to a bigger tire in the rear if I am looking at xxr 527 18x9.75 +20mm wheels?

This is telling me I would be okay with the smaller tire huh...

Im getting ground control suspension springs with the koni but Im not sure which springs to get yet.
