Any idea as to what size width on a wheel Ide need and what offset to get my versa similar to this? And what adjustable coilovers give the lowest drop? How wide of a wheel could the versa handle?

You'd have to do some measuring. Need to measure the distance of where the wheel and tire is now and then where you want it.

After that you can play with a wheel/tire calculator to find what width and offset that would be. Any wheel over 8"-9" wide is probably going to be bad.

Only a couple options for coilovers (tanabe and ksport I believe). Going to low will probably result in the alignment not being able corrected.

+38 will do it for the front, for the rear you might need a 5mm spacer.... you can run 8 in rims safely, havent tried anything higher than that.... the tanabe coilovers give a good drop, tein recently released a set for the versa, check those ones out....

+38 with a 5mm spacer on a 7" wide wheel wont get you close in the rear, but will for the front. for the rear i would guess an 8" wide wheel with +25 to 30 would get you there. and probably a 185 wide tire in the front and a 195 in the rear for the stretch.

tien coilovers are less of a drop than the tanabe coilovers.

+25 in the rear? that doesnt sound rite at all... im telling you +33 should do it for the rear.... or even somewhere in the low 30's, going into the 20's doesnt seem logical....im guessing the max drop on those is somewhere around 2 1/2- 2 3/4 somewhere around there....

i have +38 wheels with a 5mm spacer in the rear on a 7 wide wheel and it still needs about 5-8mm the be flush, but to get them as flush the pic posted aboveanother 5mm or so would be needed.

Given stock:15x5.5 +40

Then:17x8 +25

It would move the wheel 1.84 inches outward and .659 inches inward.

With that comparing tires on those, 185/60/15 vs 225/40/17. The tire would move 2.625 inches outward and 1.444 inches inward.

I'm goin for an 8.5 wide whel in the rear and I'd like to do that on all 4 corners. Any suggestions on offset for that?

Without having a car to measure I'd guess it would need to be around +35.

Easier to look and see what offsets are available in a 8.5 wide wheel that you like.

I still think the Rota D2 and 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels should be a good look and have offsets that would suit an aggressive look.

Doubt you really need a 8.5 inch wheel though, but I'm in the school of thought that dislikes stretched tires and would want a 235 or 245 on a 8.5 wheel, and that is overkill with Versa power.

I have 17x7 wheels with a +42 offset, so from reading the posts I think I should need about 6.5mm spacers for the front wheels and 10mm spacers for the rear wheels. Right?
