2 cracked sentas in 2 weeks !

[Bill the drill]

Hi everybody ,

Just joined the forum and was hoping for advice concerning replacing 20 inch  sentras with smaller wheels / more rubber . Pot holes have taken their toll and i have had 2 cracked alloys in 2 weeks . I have a 2010 XFS 3.0 litre diesel and on looking around it seems 18 inch wheels are the way forward due to the larger calipers . ( 8.5J x 18 ET49 ? ) 

Any opinions ?

 

Cheers Bill

Welcome to the club, Bill.

Have 18' wheels on my S type 2.7 D, and have found that they have given me a very good and comfortable ride, and they do take on the potholes when I can't avoid them.  I have Goodyear Eagle assimetrics on the front, and will replace the Pirellis on the real with similar Goodyears when the Pirellis are at their legal limit.

Regards,

Peter.
