I found someone selling some aftermarket wheels off a 2008 Nissan Altima, I'm wondering will it fit the Soarer? The bolt pattern is 5x114.3, and it has 35mm offset riding on tires that are 245/40r18. I have no idea if this will affect the handling on the car or if it'll fit.

Both will fit with no problems however the offset nazi's on here might have something to say.

For some reason air suspension cars seem to be more sensitive to offset problems (tramlining etc) but if your car is shock & coil then both will suit it fine.

I have that offset on 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5" rims and have no problems at all.

get some hub centric rings that will seat onto the hub center.

which allows to position the mag wheel like if it was factory. Reduces the chance of wheel even though being perfectly balanced feel like they are not.

any "decent" tire shop will stock them and put them on the car when you put the mags on.

does not matter about the offset as long as the tire it does not rub on the outer guard and the wheels rub on the caliper

I should have mentioned that but it completely slipped my mind - the bore sizes are different.
Altima - 66.1mm
Soarer - 60.1mm

You will need some spigots to mate the wheel to the hub or you will end up with wheel wobbles like you wouldn't believe.

Yes, make sure the spigot ring sizes match up, get rings to fit if they don't

Otherwise very nice wheels they should look good.
