Hi All,

Will these rims fit on the stock geolandar tires?? They have 35mm offset and 45mm offset options? Would one be better than the other? I'm terrible with the tire/wheel spec stuff.

Enkei Performance
Draco, machined w/ black accent
18x8
35mm or 45mm offset

You will need +35. I have 18x8.5 and fits with no issues. The max rim width for the Geolandars is 8"

Rsr or Tanabe will be fine for jus springs but if u want coilovers RSR makes one, Megan racing has one and pb brakes also has one. Only the RSR is made in Japan and I would go that route.

I had RSR coilovers on my IS back in the day. I didn't know the RSR coils fit on the NX. The RSR website only lists the SUS springs for the NX.

Finally found my wheels now trying to decide on tire sizing. 20x9 wheels + 35 offset F-sport AWD model. 245's or 255's......any issues with 255's rubbing? I'm going to use these for summer only and the factory wheels for winter. The shop tells me 245 but 255 will work....

Tried to PM this person but their message box is full.

Anybody know what wheel brand, size, and tires model this person has?
And is it AWD?
And was wondering if it is stock height or lowered?

Me either ! Too bad it will be spring before they go on and I can get some pictures. - anyone interested in wheel packages give them a call. I was very happy with the speed of returned emails and how fast they procured the wheels.
