5 x 114,3mm
F 18 x 10J offset +25mm
R 18 x 12J offset -5mm


How easy would those fitments be for the Nissan or the Lexus :confused:

[Tech]

Really like these cars, closest looking think to the Nissan Maxima Hire car I had in america...

As Nick said if your gonna do it, do it VIP ;)

I have 18 x 10jj on the front and rear of mine mate. The back of 15 needed a flare and the front needed a 5mm spacer and then was slightly touching the 50mm wider fenders

so i'm gna say you'll probably need overfenders for the front and rear. Especially to get the 12jj under with the negative offset!!

pandaa is it possible to tint the glass front and back :thumbs:

[Pandaa]

If it had windows, maybe ;)

But here's a quick edit...

http://i50.tinypic.com/30bpkqb.jpg

DO IT! :nod:

[mercedessx]

Cheers mate , springs to lower this are quite expensive i might as well go the whole hog and get the coils i think , the only reason i didint want coils is because i never keep the dailys long enough and i would never get my money back with swapping parts and all that :rolleyes:
