If you have a 3.5SE then you can go all the way to 8.5 rim width , +35 offset and 245 tire width (those have been confirmed here) and you'll still be able to drop without rub with the eibach springs...with a 2.5S I don't know, a lot of people seem to rub if they go too far from +45 offset and 225 width.

and for the color it really depends on your car color and where you want to go with the color scheme

yea i have a 3.5 and how does the offsets work is +35 bigger than +45 or visa vursa. and wat color rims?? my ac is white.

[mcheddadi]

offset works like this, +45 is 45 mm from center of rim and +35 is 35mm from center of rim, so the lower the offset the further the wheels stick out form the car.

with white you can go with any color you want, they all look good! Bronze, gold, white, black, silver, chrome. It's up to you! Maybe some other members with White A/C will pitch in for car color advice

also a lot of these questions can be answered on

For a black car.. I'd say black with a chrome lip only because I don't like everything to black.. I prefer the chrome edge. I really liked hyperblack on the gray cars (someone did it i forgot who) and another guy who has red did all black without a chrome lip which also looked really really good. I like blacknwhite's color scheme with a whit ecar and black rims.. I really don't like bronze rims though. Just persoanl preference. Do what you like though. I did what I like and I love it.. some hate it but some love it. It all boils down to what you think looks good and go ahead and do it.

If you want exact OEM specs, which I'd recommend, you'd go with a 18x8 235/45/18. Anywhere from a +45 to +35 should clear.

Check my sig... 245/35/20 38+ on a 2.5 with eibach drop and the only thing that rubs is the ladies when they see my ride!

I have a quick question. I was planning to get some OEM 18' is250 rims. Will they fit my altima coupe 2.5?
