I have a stock Versa SL HB. tHIS CAR IS MY NORMAL COMMUTER BUT I COULD DO WITHOUT THE 15'S. i REALLY LIKE THE RIDE THAT THE CAR HAS BUT THERE IS A BIT OF LEAN IF i CORNER TOO HARD.... i REALLY LIKE THE GLOSS BLACK/ ANTHRACITE OR HYPERBLACK WITH A POLISHED MACHINED LIP IN A 5-10 SPOKE. IDEALLY I'D LIKE TO STAY UNDER A GRAND AND FOR THAT MATTER THE CHEAPER THE BETTER. IS THIS POSSIBLE OR WOULD I NEED TO GET A SPRING KIT ie..KEEP THE SOFT RIDE WITH A +2 RIM AND NOT RUB W/ THE LEAN.

Getting different wheels isn't going to prevent body roll at all....unless they are MAGIC!

-Also, lay off the caps lock!

I know the roll isn't going to be affected by the different wheels.... I wanted to know if getting the larger wheel and subsequent larger tire was going to significantly affect the ride ( which I do like ) and since the car has a bit of lean would this setup be prone to fender rub or would I then need a spring kit to stop some of the lean. I would like a larger wheel and really don't think its worth giving up the comfortable ride.

Wow, the Versas barely held more than 0.7 gs on the lateral skidpad. Anyway, the ride depends on which tires you choose to use. Not all tires are the same. Getting larger wheels means smaller sidewall if you would liek to keep a similar tire diameter. Not all tires are made of the same compound, and each sidewall has its own load index. Read up on some FAQs on the wheel and tire forums. Asking a question like you are now is kind of REALLY vague, lol. I'm not trying to be mean at all, but you need to be a little more specific.
