Motegi's with Tires

Godson · 07-01-2007, 01:54 PM

Sorry to make one of these kinda threads but I really dont have enough time to scour through threads to see if its been asked alread but if anybody could help me out with this one I would greatly appreciate it. A friend of mine is selling these rims with tires and while he got a few hits from his posting nobody has actually came out and bought them. He called me to see if i wanted them but Im not sure if they will fit on my 4th gen. Could anyone tell me if they would fit. Im a complete noob when it comes to aftermarket rims and the like so things like offset and lug patterns are greek to me. heres the link to his listing.....http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/363438413.html He's leaving for vacation later tonight and would like to get rid of them sometime today so Im really just looking for any thoughts before i kick out some dough for them. Thanks a million in advance.

The tires are far too short for a 4th gen--your car would look ridiculous and your speedo would be off considerably. He makes no mention of offset so I can't tell you if they'd be okay. Chances are they'll fit, but will look retarded.

Im sorry morph,when you say short what do you mean?The profile? I called him and he said he dont know the offset but the lug pattern is 5-114. I kinda like the wheels themselves but for some reason I was thinking they might not look right either,although I couldnt put my finger on why.Thanks a million bro, i hate to blow a couple hundred on them and then hate them.

The sidewall is too small, so the overall diameter is too small.

I ran 215/45/16's for a while and the wheel gap was huge and the car was too heavy for the size. You'd probably crush little 205's.

Good deal...thanks guys. I actually drove out to his house later that night and just eyeballing them nest to the car it looked wrong...plus my car is riding on stock suspension so the it made the gap look so much worse. Found a yard around here that has 4 Altima rims without tires,I have to look at them tomorrow as the guy said they have minor scrapes on 2 of them but the price seems very good as long as they arent shredded.
