Great, yet another rim and offset question
Great, yet another rim and offset question
As if people aren't tired enough on this issue.
This is the first time I've ever had to purchase new rims for a car, and I'm confused as hell when it comes to making sure I pick out a proper set. So, I'm hoping that people on this board might be able to help me out.
I was able to get a line up on some 17's to get my winter setup on my coupe, however there's concerns that the rims may not clear the brakes. I picked up a set of FRD 80's at a Nissan dealership here in Calgary. The folks at the dealership said that the offset should match and that they should clear my brakes (06 Coupe, sport package). However, when I matched them up to my car at home, the offset seams to look off.
To make matters worse, a search on the next seems to turn up no information in regards to the offset or anything on the rims that I've got. Maybe I suck at teh internets and just can't seem to track down the info I need.
I'd just like to find out if anyone else has ever had a set or heard of a set of these working for the coupe. I don't have the access right now to just toss on the rim to make sure it clears the brakes, and the dealership said I could only return them if they aren't mounted on to tires.
Hope some of you offset/tire guru's might be able to help me out.
