lol, I really don't know! I will have to check as I am at work now. They were ordered by the dealer as the "only 18" wheels" that fit the sport brakes at that time....
There is no difference in the offsets in the wheels as they can be rotated front to back as well. The wheel spacers make them more aesthetically pleasing at least...

I was going to buy Rays 19's and tires, but decided not to invest that much for 4 months a year, plus the fact they might look like s#*! after a couple of years. I went with Sport Edition Wheels (they didn't have the rims I wanted until February) and I have Blizzack LM-25 - 225/50/18's. They fit fine and look decent, at least for the winter months.

You only get to drive summer tires for three weeks in August? I think I wouldn't change tires...

i think he was just kidding around and exaggerating how long the winter season is where he lives. after all, we all know they get at least 2 solid months without snow ;)

We didn't have snow this summer, but it has happened before...

I change my tires by May and then have them switched back to winters by October. Basically 6 months on each set. Oh well, I guess they will last longer that way!

^^6 months is typical for each set of tires anywhere in Canada. On my most recent DD Altima I would put the winters on around Nov 1st (Z's goes into storage then!) then switch back around May 1st also when I bring the summer cars out again, so then I know April rains have wash away all of the salt that they dumped on our roads! It's so nasty! I would never expose my Z to the salt we have around here makes cars look like SH!T:shakes head:!!!!!!!

I find even driving the Z's in late October it can get a little slick because it will drop below the magic 10*C when the tires start to lose grip! so on those cool nights around freezing(0*) to 3*C you can have some fun in some open parking lots!DONUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol only in my 300zx so far though.......:driving:
