Altima Coupe Exterior Mods

[itsdavid21]

Anyone have any advice where i can get a good lookin spoiler and black rims for my alimta coupe?-- would a spoiler look good on an altima coupe anyways?

[Vhernandez919]

Hey theres some pictures of a few coupes with spoilers. They look Good, but I'd rather not have one. My favorite part of the coupe it the back side, I think its Perfect the way it is.

Wheels Maybe go on-line and check some stuff out. I work at a Stereo shop in northern Cali. Look at Zennetti, TIS, Lorenzos, KMC, Astanti. Just for starters.

I didnt think it would fit 20s....Somewhere i know i saw it said the max was 19...

Did you have to cut the fenderwall or something? it doesnt rub? Put 4 people in your car and let me know!

[1CleanAltima]

seriously? did u remember readin that frm somewhere? i tried lookin for it, but it seems that they didnt mention bout the max wheel size..well it is 20s, and we didnt cut the fenderwall or nethin, ill see how it goes with 4 pppl n let u kno

[LongBeachCoupe]

Im not sure if it was sugguested or how i saw it..

I am 100% positive i saw it SOMEWHERE though... I dont even have mine yet (tomorrow i will) but ive been checking rim prices for a few weeks trying to figure out what i want..

How much were those with tires?

[1CleanAltima]

when i was in the process of buyin the car with my bro, i didnt like the hub caps at all n kept mentionin it to my salesmen, n he offered me a good dealed w/ the wheels so i accepted, i think he wouldnt offer me a set of wheels that'll rub the fenderwalls, i got it less than 2k, then i jus checked it out n the max wheel size for the altima coupe is 20" so it all works out

Source please?

[LongBeachCoupe]

hey where does it say the max size? How wide are they?Thanks(i cant have you as the only one with 20s on here!)

These days just about any new vehicle that may appeal to buyers in the 20-35/40 year old range is going to be able to fit 20s. Looking at the HUGE wheel wells of the Altima Coupe you can pretty much see they can fit 20s.

There are wheel guide magazines that come out every year that show fitments, any good rim shop should be able to advise you of fitments, and oh yeah research on the internet can get you this information as well.

One website you can use is that of http://www.Tirerack.com. I tried to link an image of the car with 20" rims - but for some reason the link only shows the factory rims. Go to the site directly and type in your model information and size preference etc.

Awesome! i was waiting for wheelenvizio.com to add the altima coupe but it looks like this site beat it to it!

[LongBeachCoupe]

I want to get 20's with tires.. I want it CHEAP$1000-1100 Any ideas?I cant wait to pick it up tomorrow... Did anyone get it UNDER sticker?

[Cali 2 Balti G]

You may be able to find something that cheap on ebay. This may mean buying a discontinued style - that may have less support if you need replacements etc - thisis also an issue if you buy on line - versus from alocal sjhop that you can actually come back to after initial purchase.

Aside from lookiing to buy cheap - you should consider the brand and reputation of the rim and tire. Choose a wheel that is an enhancement and not a tacky add on.

I spent $2100 on my set up which might be considered middle of the road. My set up should be more expensive because I have a staggered set up with 10" rears. You will most likely find 8.5" recommended for the Altima front and rear.

[Cali 2 Balti G]

Is that a staggered fitment??

- the rears look to be wider. A staggered setup on a FWD car I believe is done more for cosmetics - this is a reason to consider straying away from the standard 8.5" front and rear recomendation.

Just got my coupe last weekend, (for INVOICE) yea for me. 3.5 with Premium pfg, kick plates, moon roof visor. BLACK. Cant wait to begin upgrades. What width and profile are the tires on the 20" rims?

[LongBeachCoupe]

what was the price OTD?

[chrsmrk]

27,198 invoice, plus tax and doc fee= 29,351.

[LongBeachCoupe]

was it damaged or something? any info on why they sold it to you there? (in NY they want a $2500 premium over sticker)

[azcoupe]

Here are The mods done to my 3.5 coupe: removed emblems, 20" rims, and rear spoiler. Does anyone know where to get a grill without the Nissan logo? [img][http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd15 ... oiler5.jpg[/img]

[azcoupe]

You have great taste in Coupe color.

Congrats.......Wow great deal, we spent a little more on ours but got it w/ the Tech package plus a slight markup. Got a good deal on the wheels and tires to make up the difference

I just took off the wind deflector for the sunroof. I will post new pics this weekend. Highly recommend, it looks way more sporty, much more streamline.

To be honest not sold on the spoiler, looks like an old Ford ZX2 spoiler.

Best chrome wheels I have seen by far. What mpg do you get w/ 20" wheels? Does it affect the performance w/ wheels that big?

[LongBeachCoupe]

yeah a friend says the ride will go to crap.. idk yet.. im nervus to go to 20's

[chrsmrk]

perfect with 10 miles on od. I didnt want black, they couldnt find my color, they had 4 on the lot and wanted to move it. so they twisted my arm to take the black one by offer it at invoice. previous offer was 1500 off. love the car more each day.

[chrsmrk]

great looking rims, what size tires are on them? Hows the ride feel compared to stock?

[azcoupe]

They are 245/35/zr20, changed over from stock at about 500 miles and have 1200 on it now. I have not noticed any difference in in ride it is still very smooth and handles alot better. They really didn't effect the gas mileage either.

[mcheddadi]

I think I found a great set of wheels for the Altima coupe, these are 19" wheels:



here's a quick compare with the original wheels:ORIGINAL 17" wheels from the 3.5SE:

New 19" wheels:

To be honest if you added a drop and w/ your stock set of wheels they would almost look the same. If I saw that car at a distance I would think you had stock wheels. IMO black wheels w/ polished lip would look great on your car.

[Stateless]

Does anyone happen to know the weight of the 3.5 stock wheels?

The Nismo wheels for the last gen altima don't look as good as other rims might on the a/c, but I don't mind their look and they weigh a mere 17.6 lbs each. While I want the car to look good, I'm more interested in reducing unsprung weight.
