Mehdi, I know your car handles and grips better now, but how does it affect the ride quality with bumps and potholes? I am wondering because I have my 19's sitting on my floor because I am too afraid that my ride quality will go right out the window. (I also have the Eibachs)

Please let me know,

Thanks

Looks real nice. I think 19's look the best on the A/C. I wonder if the ride is rough in comparison with 18's.

is that a crack on your bumper under your driver side foglight????

and this may be a total n00b question, but what do the racingline endlinks do?

It doesn't affect it much at all. The ride is still great, no, it's EXCELLENT. More tight ( A LOT MORE TIGHT) and a lot less wobbly. The chassis is uber stiff. like no flex, I turn right, It turns rights. the combo of eibach + 255 wide drippy tires + racingline endlinks makes the car handle AWESOME. I went straight into a pothole and had NO problems. no rub, no smack in the back, just tight feeling of passing over a hole lol. couldn't have done that without 40 profiles. 35 are way too small. the would have actually been 1.1% smaller than the 17 stockers. I would have had 3.5 inch of side wall instead of my current 4.0inch of sidewall.

So all in all, this is AN ALL POSITIVE UPGRAGE, NO DOWNSIDES to it!

I love those wheels

Gee darlin' you sure got pretty rims...

Nice choice. Looks awesome! Those suspension mods must make it more coupe than Altima, eh? Seems like that should have been the factory ride height...

What offset and width are the wheels?

I have 19x8 with an offset of 30 for my wheels and my tires are 245/40R19. I'm hoping I won't have any issues with rubbing...

Suppossedly, my clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 9mm more but the outside edge of the wheel will extend an extra 21mm... not sure if this will induce issues for me... just wondering what your sizes are so I can compare!

Looks great!

Mcheddadi, what happened to the Carriageworks Grille you had on your car? Did you decide it wasn't for you?

I sold the upper polished grille to Silver Dollar http://forums.altimas.org/zero...28179 and I kept the lower black grille. I love the lower one. really complements the car well

Very Nice. I like how the spokes go all the way out to the lip. Makes them look even bigger. Nice tire size too.
