Tirerack.com lists the offset for steel wheels on a 2010 Altima as 42mm - IIRC that is within a couple mm of the LEAF. Yep, it appears to be good. http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=73305#p73305 Just might want to double check that there's 2mm of clearance on the inside between the wheel/tire and strut, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Not sure why I couldnt find it on their website. oh well. Now to find some used Altima take off wheels! Should be able to get a set of 4 used wheels for 100 bux. -Nader
