Decided to go with something simple. Didnt wanna hassle with adapters and slamming my car.
Discontinued Volk Progressiv Spoke
Staggered fitment :naughty:
19x8.5+35 front W/ 245/40/19 tires
19x9.5+38 Rear W/ 255/35/19 tires
I REALLY GOTTA, JUST GOTTA get a set of OEM fenders now.
These POS ED fenders are killing me :facepalm:
Dont mind the crappy pics. I'm using my cell phone cam :)

Got the cat's seal of approval.

All i need to do is even out the drop by adding coils and get a set of OEM fenders.

Idk if any Altimas are, but a lot of my friends run adapters. They're usually really thick though (like 25-35mm).

You can't rock these if you're not slammed though. But if you did get those, you'd be a game changer lol. I've always wondered what dinner plates would look like on an alti...

Only thing that really holds me from slamming is school. I have huge speed bumps and dips in the parking lot :tisk:
lol yeah i love designs like that.
I was wondering on the adapters for some Alphard 5 spoke wheels off an sl550 :chuckle:
WTF. i know, i know.

I suck at photoshop so cant chop them together.

Alphards are nice! What would you do with the center caps?

More similar styled thinking: 7 series wheels

I dunno bro. I'm usually supportive when it comes to "unique" wheel setups, but I dunno if the altima could pull these off. Do you plan on changing their color?
And like Alex said, you need to be hella slammed to run these bad boys. I've seen them in person but it was on a bagged G35 so I can't really compare lol.

Just interested in their style and if anyone was running Different bolt pattern adapters.

+35 or -35? I would assume the latter. No way would a +35 work.

I almost ending up buying wheel adapters for some tsw stowe's i picked up off Craigslist. When I went to pick them up, they all read 5x120. But luckily they fit perfect. I was confused but happy as hell I didn't have to pick up adapters as I didn't feel comfortable about using them

Sometimes, different PCD patterns will fit your own.

Do you experience any vibrations on the highway? That's one thing I've heard people experience when they don't use adapters

Actually yea, I do occasionally. Is this something I should be concerned about? I assumed that if the rims were actually 5x120 they wouldn't of fit on the car at all.

I think you'll be fine but there's always a chance that something could go wrong lol. If the chance of something going wrong here is just as likely or similar to the danger of running non hubcentric spacers then I wouldn't worry. But if I could afford the adapters and I had the fender clearance, I'd probably buy them just to be safe.

You could also look into re-drilling them but I would imagine that adapters would be cheaper and you wouldn't have to compromise the structural integrity of the wheel.

Regardless of adapters you need to make sure they have the proper hubcentric rings for your car and the wheel itself. That will ensure no shaking which is something that will happen when only relying on a lugcentric configuration.

I'm gonna jack her up and check for the rings now. Good timing too as i am about to remove all my wheels to paint my calipers lol. The kid I purchased these off of had them on an Altima sedan. Figured I was in the clear. Guess not

Np Millhouse. Ichiba is a well known adapter and spacer manufacturer. I currently use their spacers.

Irving sorry for the thread jack!

I like the wheels. Looks like you could even push them out more for additional flushness.

I can and most def. want to.
Doing that after the new fenders are on and the coils are added up front so i can see how much room i have to play with.
