Hi my name is Felisha and need some help with rims. I have a 03 sedan with 18s and wondering how I can run them.
18x8.5 with 225/45 in front
18x9.5 with 235/45 in rear
Offset I believe is 35
My car is stock and I'm wondering with the rear rims do I need different tires or will my tires be fine. I just wanted a little stretch in the back. Do I need anything at all for these to run OK? Or can I leave everything as is with no probs.
Thanks

 

I prefer it to stay the way it is and not having to add anything but if I cant run it like this then I have no choice.

 

I have a 04 sedan with 18x8.5 front and rear with 235 45 18 tires all around so I can rotate them every oil change.

 

Ok kool so you think mine should be ok with 18x9.5 in rear with a little stretch?

 

With wider tires in the back you will have to get your fenders roll or the tires will rub every time you hit a bump or dip in the road.

 

Even without a drop?

 

Yes when I first got my wheels I got them from a guy who had a coupe the tires were 225 45 up front and 245 40 rear, and my car would rub every time I hit a bump or going to fast over dips in the road, and it got worse if someone was in the car with me. I now have the 235 45 18 all round with H tech springs and no problems.

 

Thnx alot you have been very helpful.. Oh one last thing will I need spacers?

 

No you should not need spacers if you have factory infiniti wheels, but if your using aftermarket wheels you might depending on the offset.

 

You can do a 18x10 in the rear depends on the offset of the rim but if you're looking for max lip ten would be nice. I knew a few kats in MD runnin 18x10s on Sedans all day. As far as tire size I would go with a 245/40 rear 235/45 front..

Now adays people are going for that stretch tire look.. to me its sick But since your living in Jersey I wouldn't recommend you slammin you car to the ground in pot hole city..lol

Here are some samples for ya to look at..




these are more "tuck" then stretch.. looks nice 4 sho

 

Hey lance I did exactly that i ran 235 n 245....lol u r def right about the drop lol this is extremely pot hole city n my car will be messed up in this city but I love them looks with the rims n I think my rims are like 3in deep in the back not that deep..... I do want to drop it a lil tho

 

sounds like you got a setup 3" rear is nice on the sedan..as far as a drop go u can get springs an bring the front and rear down a lill.. nothin to agressive thou.

 

How low do u think???
