Hello all,
I just bought an 2003 Altima 3.5SE and wanted to purchase a nice set of 18" aftermarket wheels/tires to replace the 17" factory ones. Does anybody know what the proper offset would be for a 18" X 8" rim? I'm seeing stuff like 100, 114 and +32, +35? I would just hate to get a set and not have them fit right.

The 100 and 114 refer to the bolt pattern. Use this link to understand bolt patterns:

Use this to calulate the change in off-set:

Buy them from a reputable shop, and they will put the right set of wheels on your ride. I'd stay away from internet deals, unless they have a shop near you.

Thanks bro!

Just to add to what Ruben said, before I upgraded to 19's,
I had a set of 18 x 8" with a +38et and 245/45's that
fit like a glove...
