Hello,

My friend is selling me a set of 350z Nismo wheels.

The stock wheel spec setup on the Nismo 350z is:

Image

Front
Size: 18x9.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 21 lbs 4 oz
Tire: Bridgestone RE050A 245/40/18

Rear
Size: 19x10.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 29 lbs 8 oz
Tire: Bridgestone RE050A 265/35/19

So the question is will they fit my 2010 Altima coupe.
The wheels are brand new with tires, don't know where he got them from, but he's selling them to me for a price that I would prob even buy them if they don;'t fit.
My 2010 Altima coupe is the 3.5SR 6MT and stock wheel setup with 18x8. MY car is not dropped yet, thinking about it.
Let me know what you guys think, he tried the wheels on his G35 Sedan and the tires rub for him. Being that his car is RWD I though he would have no problems.

See some people say it fits and some say rear tires will rub or that I may need to roll my fenders. Guess I'll just have to try them on and see what happens. What are the size of those rear wheels tires ^^^??? Using spacers?

Okay, with these offsets they will not rub and you won't need to roll your fenders. If you stupid slam the car then you might need to roll the fenders in the rear. Again, they'll fit 100%

Think about the ride height difference of a stock AC versus the G sedans

So I did install the wheels on the car yesterday. Looks like it will need a mojor drop. Thinking about Eback Pro kit but don't know if it will be enough.
They do stick out a lil bit, but the the car was on the 18" stock wheel on the right side so that might adjust the gap a lil.
What ya think?

it should've dropped a little more once the jack was off and the springs settled.
Eibachs worked just fine for my 2.5 although the front is still pretty high

IMO, its never going to look right without some sort of a drop, Eibach may not be enough judging by that pic. Having the OEM wheels on any of the other 3 corners would not make a difference in how that one wheel looks, its pretty much dead on with the OEM overall diameter.

Tein has a bigger drop than Eibach. I don't really want coilovers. So might try that.

So...I'm bringing this back to life because I just finished installing my Tein springs and 350z Nismo Wheels on the Altima V6. I know, it's been a while, but worth the wait. Winter is over :whistle: , snow is gone, summer is here.

So I have a problem. The rear tires hit the outside of the fender when I hit bumps. Don't like that. I also have a 90lb audio system in the trunk that I think if I take it out can fix that. Or I can get Eibach springs for the rear instead of Tein. Don't know what to do :(.

Why don't you just get the rear fenders rolled

Rolling the fenders MIGHT give you just enough space, but WITH a tiny bit of -ve camber you'll be OK! :yesnod

1) Hunt for 2 additional front wheels
2) Fender roll + pull, and maybe a little more neg camber
3) Ridicu-flush
4) Wide body kit

ps you should take pics from the car's rear fender line to highlight the amount of poke. Side/quarter-angle shots are hard to gauge.

Used a delrin Rod and rolled rear fenders Just a lil bit. I didn't go bending the lip all the way, but just enough that the rubbing stopped. I drove the car like I stole it over pot holes and no rubbing at all. I still need to test drive it on the high way and see what happens.

looks good man definitely recommend rolling the rears more though because if you do highway driving then you might rub a little. i would also recommend a little camber just to help with the rubbing but nothing extensive
