Hi,

5 bolt pattern, rim size is 6" x 6.5" offset is 40

The largest I've seen was 20" rims, but that's pushing it, more common are 17" and 18" rims.

the nissan dealership in vancouver had a SE with 20" on it and 55 series tires
and it still had lots of wheel gap

They are 5 x 114.3

Do know that due to the weight of bigger wheels, your acceleration is going to suffer with anything bigger than 17-18" wheels, just a precaution

They do fit, but the rear does not have enough clearance when the suspension is compressed. The rear tires will often hit the inner fender wells or even rub against the plastic shock towers. Biggest I would go would be 18 inch wheels for clearance, aesthetic, mileage, and aceleration compromises.

well im lookin to buy some 18"


but i havent decided what profile tires to go with?

i dont want anything to lowpro so every bump i hit will run a chance of damaging my rim

i was thinkin 50 series

ViperZ

In order to maintain proper speedometer readings, you have to chose a tire size that is cloase to the same diameter of the stock tires. The profile will be dictated by the width of the tires.

The Stock Tires are 215/65/16 = 27" diameter

To be close to that with a 50 tire you would need:

235/50/18 = 27.25" diameter
255/50/18 = 27.04' diameter

Either are with in the 2% recommendation

could I use P215/70R16 instead of 65??

ERBell

I saw one with 20" wheels and there was lots of clearance. If you don't mind sacrificing gas mileage, ride and versatility, 22" wheels with 30 series rubber will fit. Remember a 22" wheel weighs about 80-90 lbs. Thats 320 lbs of extra unsprung weight.

ERBell

When you go to a larger wheel does the offset need to change or should it stay the same?

For example, I am considering an 18" wheel with 235 55R 18 tires. The reason I am asking is because I am buying my stuff from Tire Rack and they don't list the X Trail.

I was wondering if the Altima had the same offset.
