Altima Dropped on Eibach Pro-Kit; Can someone help me with rims?

[tacochino]

Hey guys, I have an 03 alti 2.5 lowered on the pro-kit, like stated in the title. I was wondering if I would have problems running these rims on my car:

they're 19x8.5, 35 offset. Also, what are the biggest tires (diameter-wise, assuming 245's would be good width wise?) i could run without having rubbing issues?I was also considering 18's because the roads around where i go to school are a bit un-forgiving at times. then i could run larger tires. Thanks guys! i think the stock offset is 40? i'm so confuzed sorry for my noobiness! i searched all over nissanforums, and they aren't too good over there.

One problem is that you are increasing the tire with by 50mm or so but only reducing the offset by 5mm. That means most of your tire width (45mm) will be moving towards the shock tower. I know for a fact that there you don't have an additional 45mm between your stock tire and strut spring.

If you want to run wider wheels, find an online "wheel offset calculator" to find out what offset range you should be looking at. I think 8.5" might be about the widest you can run, but someone else can better answer that question.
