A good start



A good start might be to consider the stock 17s and P215/45R17s that come on the S Plus model and transcribe those specs to your wheels of choice.

 

Ah i get ya, i just see some of the guys here going all out on drops and wide rims, stretching tires. I just want lowered on 17s so it looks nice, and remove some wheel gap. Its not a race car, lol i want looks and keep ride quality.

 

The 215/45R17 is a little small, not sure why Toyota used it. The diameter of all the other sizes in 15" & 16" sizes is around 25.0". Also use a little wider wheel with a better offset. They will look better, handle better & you can find lighter wheels too.

215/45R17 24.6" Diameter
225/45R17 25.0"
205/50R17 25.1"

205/55R16 24.9"
195/65R15 25.0"

I have 17x8 +35mm offset and they weigh 7 lbs less than the OEM wheels.
The OEM wheels are 17x7 +39 I believe and weigh about 24 lbs.

 

Appreciate the response man. My 15s look tiny and im in need of an upgrade. Lol so a 35 offset would be the safe zone sort of speaking on a 17x8 wheel for our cars? Anyone know how much the steelies weigh?

 

Not sure, take one off and weigh it. :wink:

Yeah a 17x8 or 7x7.5 +35 offset should fit and look great. Look at the wheel weight when looking at alloy wheels.

 

I guess i can weigh them i have 6k miles on them so far. Shouldnt weigh much less than new. So aim for wheels under 24lbs cool. So many options out there its gonna be hard

 

I would try to find wheels under 20lbs and lighter if possible. :wink:

 

I havent seen any "wheel/tire picture threads" yet, would be a good idea for people looking for certain looks i also have a tundra im looking for wheels and tires for lol

 

I feel like even the 17's on the s model look small still. I want a set on 18's preferably lighter than the s wheels as well. I was surprised when I rotated them the first time as to how heavy they were, the 18 inch stock wheels on my maxima feel lighter

 

Anyone found light weight wheels they wanna share specs with lol

 

RAYS TE37 or CE28N 16x7 +33 with 205/55R16 fits... Still have rooms for 10mm spacer if you want....

 

Thats a bad ass altis

 

Found some drag wheels
17x7.5 5x100 but description says 45mm offset.. is that going to fit right???

 

It will fit okay but you may want to add some spacers to push them out 15-20mm. You could always test fit them first to see what you think. They will be sucked in 16mm more than a 8" +35mm offset wheel.

 

45mm offset with 15 mm spacer just nice...

 

Dammit.. those are the ones offered by discount tire.. 115 a piece. Ill make sure they offer the +30mm offset. Right? Lol

 

That will look better with that wheel. An offset of of +25 or +30 will do great or use spacers.

 

These are the ones

 

The wheel looks fine, just have them test fit them. The offset that works well may be a little different with the 11th gen compared to my 10th gen. :wink:

 

Where do you guys buy spacers from? If they dont offer the 30mm offset. I might get the spacers in advanced

 

I've bought all 4 sizes I own on eBay, never an issue. :wink:

 

I am considering getting these [ame]http://www.amazon.com/18x8-5-Enkei-Gunmetal-Wheels-486-885-8045GM/dp/B00KWP6XG8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1431885181&sr=8-3&keywords=enkei+tsp6[/ame]

Any recommendations if I do as far as spacers and offsets?

Those will fit just fine. Compared to my 17x8 +35mm offset they will be sucked in 4mm more than mine. Does the wheel come in a 40 or 35mm offset?

I'm new to this wheels stuff but when you guys talk about 17x8 and all those number I get some of it and get lost on the others.

So as far as I know,

17 is the wheel size.
8 is how wide the wheel is correct?

I just don't know what the other numbers are like +/-30 etc. Can someone explain please? What exactly does the offset do? Make the wheels more deeper/shallow, etc? Since I'm in the market for new wheels that would fit it nicely after lowering it. Also what are other stuff you can put on it like spacers, etc? Pros and cons?

Thanks lol

Correct, the 17x8 has a 17" diameter and 8" width. The offset tells you how much the wheel will be pushed out or sucked into the wheel well.

On a scale a wheel will be more sucked in to being more pushed out.
+50mm..........+40mm........+30mm.......+20mm........+10mm offset
More sucked in..........................to........................more pushed out

Wheel offset (+/-30 etc) explained: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=101

In short, it's the position of the surface of the wheel that bolts to your car, in relation to the centerline of the wheel.

 

wrong place sorry

 

What’s the widest wheel and offset for the rear on the 2016 LE?

I’d like to go 18s

18x8.5 +30 offset
18x9.5 +30 offset

If I can go to 18x10 that would be glorious.
