Looking to put wheels on my 08 versa hatchback, im thinking about 18", would those be too big?

I have seen 20's fit under the big guards with only minimal scrubbing, so 18's should be fine. Once I get my missus in a good mood, I'll be hunting some 18s myself

Haven't seen lots of mags on Tiida/Versa's yet so not sure what style I'll pick just yet.

Wheel size is a 4 stud, 114.3 with 40 offset from memory.

i have the 20's they only rub the plastic when the wheel is turned all the way... my offset is +38 the correct offset is +42... my wheels are 7 1/2 inches wide... theyre ok but the ride can be a bit rough at times...

+38 eh? Gah, now I have to go and question the three mag shops that told me +40.....

 

[superskunk]

+38 brings the wheel almost flush to the fender... but like i said before the correct offset is +42

I'd say go with 17" wheels, +40 to +42 mm offset, and 215/45R17 tires.

Anyone have an opinion on how an 18" with a +45 offset with 225/40's might do? My concern is clearing the brakes, not hitting any suspension and not rubbing.

 

[superskunk]

i would personally recommend +38 or even a +40, that way you come out toward the fender....

 

[superskunk]

oh and by the way welcome to the forum! where do you stay at?

Thanks for the welcome. Im in Carmel Indiana...northern burb of Indy. Just did the cash for clunkers for an 09 black/black hatchback S model. Already debadged and tinted. This is just a toy car for me that I will be doing some things to and letting my son drive on occasion. I have 2" (51mm) drop springs on order as well as the front air dam, front grille and rear underbody fascia. I already have a brand new set of 225/40/18 tires in the garage awaiting some wheels. I really like these. I think they will look great on my black/black/tinted/slammed V. They only seem to come in +45 offset though.

Sounds great dude. Post some pics when you have time I'd like to see some different tastes!

 

[Indyjenks]

Soooo....back to my original....what are the thoughts of 225/40's on 18's with a +45 offset? Fit?..not fit??? Rubbing suspension?...sticking out too far???

I'm no genius on this subject, but the tire calculators I saw say it should work. I run 225/50/17 which according to said calculator is bigger. I scrape some at full turn and just a tiny bit when i have the wheel cocked at about 50% or so. This is not enough to damage the tires.

A 2nd opinion would probably be wise.

 

[AusTiida]

At STD ride height I run 18's with no scraping at all, however when the springs go in next week I'm sure that'll change.

What offset are your 18's?

 

[AusTiida]

I believe its a 40 offset.

So people are saying that the 17X7 5 spoke 02-03 Sentra SE-R wheels will fit the versa. A friend of mine told me to check into the offset. Well the info I came up with was 47mm. Is this an issue or concern? Whats the versa's normal offset?, and what will 47mm do to my car? Is 4X114.3 the correct bolt pattern? Thanks

 

[robj80]

that is the correct bolt pattern. The offset I'm unsure of.
