2010 Altima Coupe 3.5 SR (CVT)

[White_SR]

Just stoppin in to say hello to everyone! On Tuesday (1-19-10) I became the proud owner of a new Altima Coupe! As the thread title says it's a 3.5 SR (CVT) and I also got the Premium + Tech packages, black (charcoal) interior!

Here's a couple hasty pics (it started snowing as soon as I got home with the car lol):

I'm looking forward to getting some things done to the car. First thing I did (after the pics) was remove that damn front license plate bracket hahah. I'm no stranger to fixing up a car but the Altima will just get simpler things done (suspension, rims, intake, exhaust, etc). Nothing too wild

Here's a link to some pics of my other car (mostly my garage queen): http://www.snyper.net/RX-7/Pics/index.htm

Welcome!! Nice car. Love the headlights!

[White_SR]

Thanks for the welcomes and yeah snow is rare but it's a nice change from the "Sunny California" routine! Once the weather clears up I'll take some more pics and probably some side-by-sides with my RX-7.

Thanks! Oh I still have it, it's sucking up one space in the garage hahah. Can't get rid of it, my step-dad bought it brand new from the dealer and it's been in the family since.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome! I'm still torn about the new front fascia, but it does look good in white....

You said you got the "techno" package. Does that come with blacklights and a pacifier dispenser?? (I kid, I kid!)

Welcome to NICO!!

Sick RX7

[White_SR]

Thanks again everyone! I still plan on taking pics with the RX-7 and Altima next to each other but my weekends have been busy lately and by the time I get home it's too late. Haven't hardly had the chance to drive the Altima at all since I got it either, grrr (stinkin weather). I've got a '98 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner for my daily driver

[toxik]

damn man your winter frost car made it snow in cali. must be a sign from god

Ugh so 10 days after getting my car I finally got to drive it to work and on the way home I get rear ended while stopped at a light. Luckily (so to speak) the guy was already stopped behind me and and had let off the brakes so the impact wasn't bad, no metal damage or lights broken. Just scuffed and dinged the rear bumper and I took it in for repairs last week, should get it back tomorrow evening Right after the accident since I knew it was goin in for repairs one way or another I ordered a Stillen rear wing/spoiler

Can't wait to get my car back Tuesday night! Next on my list I'll be ordering some rims pretty soon, Axis Elites (black matte) which will be 19 x 9.5 (+45 offset) all around unless there are concerns with rubbing? I've been through some various threads on here (very helpful) but I've noticed many are putting 8" or 8.5" wide rims on the front with a larger in the rear for the staggered effect. Do I have cause for concern going 9.5" all around? Initially I won't have the Eibach Pro kit but later on (probably this spring/summer) I'll be installing the drop kit. I also need a bit of help on tire size selection. I want the sidewalls nice and flush with the edge of the rims (not bulging out and not stretched). Am I safe with 255/35-19 or do you recommend another size? I'm kinda stuck on wanting Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons and seems my diameter difference on this set will only be +1.11% but like I said i just want to be sure before I go an order a set of rims and subsequently some tires after that lol.

So key points I suppose:- No rubbing (would rather go with "safer" rim width/tire size combo)- Eibach Pro kit to be installed within a couple/few months- Tires flush with rim (no stretch/bulge)- 19x9.5 +45 offset wrapped with 255/35-19

Hey dude! congrats on the new coupe!

I have to say though, at a +45 offset (which is our stock offset), moving up to 19x9.5 might rub if you end up lowering (which you should! )

If you were between a +35 and +40 I don't suppose I'd worry so much, but at a +45 I'd go 8 or 8.5" all the way around just to be safe. On a stock suspension though, it shouldn't cause any trouble.
