kong milligram lighning zero in and some other ones go for 175 at discount tires with 50 dollars rebate. get it in 18x9.5 with 45mm in front and 25mm in the back. you would get some cheap track use out of it. as an idiot who track too much, mmy word 9of advice is dont waste money on fancy volk wheels. also the whole oem setup doesnt make sense if you are not class limited. it would be like me designing my own oil cooler kit for 610 instead of buying one for 645

I'm not seeing a spot on tires.com to choose the offset.

I'm just seeing 18X9.5 5-114.3 25GBL, which I'm guessing 25GBL is the offset, but no other options to choose a different offset.

edit: Not to mention, no Kumho XS are available in my area, so it doesn't even let me select them. Same with RE-11's. This **** is getting annoying.

cossie1600 03-17-2011 01:49 PM

when do you need it by?

25 is the offset, gbl is the color.

you need 45 offset in front and 25 in rear

My next track event is end of April, so around a week before then.

So I did find someone that could sell me just the rear base 18's. This offset + my spacers won't work for the front though, right?

if you have spacers, you can probably buy 4 25mm wheel and use the 15 or 20mm in the front.. thats even better! you can rotate your tires! i run 35mm as a compromise so i dont have to use spacers!

order them today, you will have it by end of month i bet. you will love the 275 35 18 setup, stagger setup are mainly for looks and safety in a front engine car. (or class limitation).

cossie1600 03-17-2011 02:14 PM

just double check the konig clear over the sports caliper

sell your oem 18s on the maxima forums, those guys love it

Why would you run spacers up front? The rears need lower offsets than the front.

cossie1600 03-17-2011 02:14 PM

what is the offset and size on the stock 18s?

No, 5mm

I'm so confused. No go on running the base 18 rears on the front with a 15mm spacer?

You'd want no spacer if you ran them up front. A spacer decreases offset.
