Itasha Coupe
I have nothing against your choice in color, but I'd get 19" or 20" instead. I think 18" wheels on a coupe are too small.

not to mention you will look ridiculous running around with +45 offset. these are made for the altima. I have a set on my altima in silver and love them. at 8.5" wide and ~17-18 lbs they are a nice rim, but definitely not made for the g.

This is embarrassing to post but I really need your help. I ended up buying it before reading your replies. I got it for $800 brand new, thought it was a good deal. I didn't know the offset was +45 which looks really shoved inside and luckily it cleared the brembo. Here are some pics, I'm not ready to cut my loses yet. I measured the wheel spacer needed to get it flushed, it's 1 inch front (25mm) and 1.5 inch rear (35 mm). Will the spacer salvage the situation or just cut my loses and put back the 18 oem wheels and sell these. One thing I like about these wheels is they are ridiculously light. If you recommend a different/better wheel spacer size please let me know.

I like them(although I am partial), but unless you are going to go with a 19" rims or bigger, I would just space them out and be done with it. spacers aren't a bad thing. it is an 8.5" wide rim, so you are good there and they look good with your car. just need some springs and some spaces are you will be good

and $800 is a great deal, especially with tires

IMO, cause you asked, hehe...They just don't have the size to really make them flow with the G...I like the idea, but like the offsets...it just doesn't work for me

As always tho, if you love em...rock em! it's your ride and the only one who HAS to like it...is you

If you really want to keep them, the Ichiba 38mm spacer is what I would use to get these to sit right..that will correct your offset to +7. Anything smaller would still look tucked IMO. And you're definitely going to need a drop to pull it off.

But if I were you, I would cut my losses and sell them. Look for something that fits better. You say you like them because they're light, so are you planning on tracking or doing any spirited driving? If you are, I wouldn't recommend doing it with spacers. I would only do 18's for track wheels so if you're planning for looks only, look into 19's with offsets in the 20's max.

Just want to update this thread, I purchased 25mm for front and 38mm ichiba wheel spacers and I think it improved the look of my car. here are some pics. I will need new tires soon and thinking of getting +1, what you guys think?
