I'm sure they'll fit on the X, in fact i'd say it's actually on the conservative side for size and offset.
I do have 245/40/19s on them, but they feel no different from the 18" OEM 050a's. I was rather surprised that it rode the same, even with the lower profile. (The 19s are Falken FK452s with the reinforced sidewall.)
That said, 225/45 will have the same sidewall as the 245/40 so there won't be much of a difference going that route. Not to mention, 225 is a little too narrow for an 8.5" wide wheel. The 50 series is going to be somewhat taller and will affect your speedo.
Thanks Mike. I will probably need to go 245/40/19 but I really want 245/45/19, but if I go that route I'm afraid I might have too much tire and it will hit the suspension bar on the X. What do you think? Do you think I will feel a drastic difference going from 225/55/17 to 245/40/19 or 245/45/19 (if this option is available)?Originally Posted by soundmike

Did you somehow remove the 'Nismo' off of the wheels? The one thing I don't like is that wording, but I don't see it in your photos?
Looks great, BTW.

ovrkast, 245/45 won't be too bad. Your speedo is still going to be off by a bit. Although, If i'm not mistaken, there's someone else on here with those tires on his X. I can't put my finger on the name right now. From the 17s to 19s you will definitely feel a difference but i would say it's a good difference. Possibly slightly rougher ride but you gain in handling. In my case, from the sport 18s to these Nismo's there wasn't any difference in ride quality - possibly because the overall package is lighter so it reacts faster to road undulations.
GeeWizzard, yep i removed the stickers. They're only sticky vinyl that comes off with your nails. I didn't even have to clean up with Goo-B-Gone.
I did the same on the Altima Nismo 18s on my old Max.
G35Ian, thanks!

bringing this thread back from the dead, only to say, I love these wheels. I want them!! Too bad they have been discontinued.
