Build thread for my 2008 AC 3.5 Update!

[SanoSuKe]

I'll have to call tomorrow and change my rear wheels then :P i think the front would be fine 8.5

but as for the fitment for 19x10 you think that i shouldnt need spacers or insane fender rolling?

Offsets is everything. Tell me what offsets are you dealing with and I'll give you accurate answers. But as far as 19x10 they'll fit fine in the rear.

[Thefridge98]

I havent the slightest clue what offsets im dealing with. I know absolutely nothing when it comes to rim and tire fitment.

If it means anything I have H&R Springs and the rims and tires i have currently are 100% stock. the tires that are getting put on the cv3s as of now are 245/35+19

[SanoSuKe]

Offsets is the number at the end of the the wheel size usually. Try to find out what offsets are you gonna be running. Example: 19x10 +15 The [+15] part would be the offset, just give them a call and ask what's the offsets on those wheels. It's essential in any Wheel/Tire sale.

That is an excellent guide made by Alex M. on Wheels/Tires and fitment. If you feel like reading up on this a little feel free: fitment-guide-everything-you-need-to-kn ... e#p6342186

And I'm still here to help.

I can tell you right now that the offset is +32, the only other offset for 19" would be +15 for 8.5" wide which might require a fender roll in the back I'm pretty sure..? and since they said it wouldn't require anything, I'm guessing that's what it is. The offsets for 10" wide are +38 and +20, just to let you know.

If your info is right, then his best fender friendly setup would be:

Front 19x8.5 +32
Rear 19x10 +38

[Thefridge98]

I will definetly have to call back tomorrow and sort this out. 19x10 will give it a better look for sure

[kevin13nor]

Here is your ideal Vossen setup:

Possible Fronts (Optional fender roll):
19x8.5 +15
19x9 +20
19x9.5 +25

Possible Rears (Requires Fender rolling):

19x.8.5 +10
19x9.5 +15
19x10 +20
19x10.5+25

Every other HIGH a$$ offset for vossen wheels within these wheel widths, will be utter crap. You get little to no concavity and just the 5 gay skinny spokes.

Fender rolling is not bad. It's only scarey when you start needing to pull your fenders. When you roll your fenders, your fenders will sort of slightly flare out anyways because your pushing the fender piece into your fender wall.

Unless it's an intentional fender pull, don't be scared to roll them! Now throw them vossens on!

Called back this morning and changed the rear to 19x10. Crisis averted lol

Go with an aggressive offset!

[Thefridge98]

Well.. Just my luck. They don't have any 19x10 in the graphite that fits our bolt pattern and it would take a couple weeks maybe longer to get them. Guess I'm sticking with the 19x8.5.

[BRicci]

Go to carid.com! They have every option! You don't wanna rush something like this.

[Thefridge98]

The price that I'm getting these rims and tires is cheaper than the 4 rims on carid. Already have my deposit down and they will be here Tuesday. I'm sure ill be happy with them.

Plus I don't want my ride feeling like s*** with super low tires. If I don't like how these look Ill just get my money back

Plus it's hard, I got people on here telling me the offsets will fit with minimum work. And then I have vossen and the place that does nothing but this kind of stuff everyday telling me that they will have to do all kinds of fender work and won't be comfortable for everyday driving

Just a heads up, usually the policy for wheels is "you mount them, you own them" So I'm not sure if they'll let you return it. I hate to say this but yes we do know better than these guys. When I was doing my setup every single shop I went to refused to work on the car because they thought it was too risky and un-safe. So yeah, sometimes you just gotta experiment on your own.

[Thefridge98]

Thought I'd do a little update and let everyone know I went and got back the money I put down. Told them for personal reasons I wouldn't be able to go through with them, even though I still very much can lol, so I'm gonna take some time with this part of my build. My fascia on the other hand is getting repainted and will be on in a few days

[kevin13nor]

Don't listen to the sellers. Listen to your Nico club members. Theres like a total of 5-8 stanced altima coupe guys on this forum. Devious, SanoSuke, and I being one of them. Just trust us. We have the cars and have crazy offsets. Just doooeeet.

[Thefridge98]

Yeah like I said I got my money back that I put down and I'm gonna put some more thought into the rims and setup I wana run

[Thefridge98]

Update: http://avantgardewheels.com/m310.php
Changed my mind on the rim choice. Saw a thread of Loop's black altima on forgestar f14s. Was gonna go with the Forgestars but after going in to the place that's been doing most of the work on my car I found out they are upgrading their place and are going to start selling rims and such. Got a sick deal on these avant gardes with tires. Going with the 19x8.5 all around and also the matte black finish. Same wheel size Loop has on his altima and it still gives it an awesome look.

I'm sure you've seen his thread but here it is for those who havent:

My fascia came in the mail about 2 days ago. Got it from devilmagic and its getting some love and should be getting installed with my rims friday. hate being an impatient person cus waiting for these final touches for my car is kiiiillllliiiinnng me

[devilmagic]

patience my child lol all will turn out a okay ..

[Thefridge98]

Completely off subject. Lately i've noticed when I lock my car with the "key" it doesn't honk like it did when I first got it. Was curious as to if there was a fuse or something that might have gone bad that controls that lol..? Been sketching out making sure my doors are locked when I park my car cus I don't get that assuring honk lol.

[Thefridge98]

OK... final rim update. Seems that the M310s are out of stock for our bolt pattern and matte black . Sooo talked to my guys over at the shop and ended up going with a staggered set of TSW Rivage's.



Going to have the silver on the inside painted red. Rims should be here in 3 days and the car should be ready to roll out come the 9th for a show in daytona!
Lemme know what you guys think!

[Thefridge98]

bump!

[Thefridge98]

few update pictures with the stillen fascia on

[ShiftTheFuture]

Your ride is coming out pretty nice! How are those lights working for you? I've been searching for some myself. Also, what Pioneer is that?

Headlights have been great. Had minimal fog when I first installed them but that went away after a day in the sun.

Thanks!

[Thefridge98]

sad bump

[SanoSuKe]

sad bump

That sucks dude. The fascia is looking goood tho

[J Russ]

Damn, sorry to hear that, did u chase her when she tried to run?? High speed chase through the burbs??? Hope all goes well getting it fixed.

[Thefridge98]

hell yeah i chased her when she tried to run lol... only had to get on it to get behind her to get her tag #. All of this has actually opened to door for me to get my whole car repainted and im thinking on doing some pearlescent in the red. and its a good time to get my gt concept bumper painted. Buddy that owns the shop thats doing all the work is putting on veilside side skirts that he had for his twin turbo'd Z. Gonna need a little bit of body work to get them to fit but theyll look pretty sick!

[J Russ]

Nice!! Its good to know you can make something good out of an accident. Keep us updated!

[Thefridge98]

Bit of an update. Still haven't gotten my accident taken care of. The lady that hit me has decided to not answer any phone calls from either me or her insurance company about the accident. Here's some update pictures though. Whole cars getting repainted this month with a bit of pearl in the clearcoat!

Also my coils aren't set to the height I want yet. I'm happy with the front for now but the rear wasn't dropped too much due to me needing to roll my fender. Need to get a camber kit for the rear and once I get that gonna just knock it all out at once with my buddies fender tool.
