Difficulty in finding wheels...

Short of having custom made wheels made, pickings are slim. In fact I've only found one set of wheels that will fit like stock (50 offset in rear, 40 in front), and nothing else really very close either in 18 or 19" diameters.

My ideal setup would be a 19x8.5 with 38mm offset (front with 245) and 19x9.5 with 48mm offset (rear with 265). All in a wheel that doesn't cost much more than $3-400. Am I dreaming?

What are you sedan guys doing short of paying out the butt for a custom wheel set that doesn't rub?

Thanks,
Chris

F: 19x8.5 35-38mm offset (for 245 tire)
R: 19x9.5 45-48mm offset (for 265 tire)
Can't afford more than $1600 just for wheels (and thats a tall order)
Really appreciate what a forged wheel offers, preferably in a good 5 spoke pattern.

I checked them out and 99% of them are for the coupe fitments. In fact the only ones listed for the sedan were actually made for Altimas.

Anyone know about where to find sedan fitments?

What about 5Zigen Sports Engine SC3000? They cost around $1200 shipped from most dealers and they are 19x8.5 +38 and 19x9.5 +45.

^^ +1. Axis, ADR, MRR are just a few that carry a good selection for a reasonable price. Their staggered fitments are excellent for our sedans. BTW, you should go with 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.

(>")> G35: Those look nice. I've had 5Zigen before with good experience. Where did you get them?

Chico: The 5 spoke in your avatar is what I'm looking for more or less. Where did you pick those up?

The reason I want to go with a 265rear with a 245 front is that I don't want to effect the balance putting more understeer into the car. If I could, I would go with a 255 front but its a questionable fit.

I have the MRR GT-1s on the way. The offsets aren't exactly what you specified, but as far as I could tell the first time I got them in with the wrong size rubbers, they seem to fit just fine... I should have them and some picks soon. I am out of town this weekend, so depending on when they arrive...
