HELP! New wheels and lowering springs

[AltimaCoupe2013]

I've recently started to get into the car scene, so I don't know a whole lot. I bought a 2013 Altima Coupe 2.5s a year ago, my friend talked me in to getting it lowered and a new set of wheels. I've been looking at a set of 19inch Verde wheels

As for the lowering goes, I really don't want to buy coilovers right now, so I'm thinking of a set of Eibach springs.

I just need advice on a tire size, or if 19inch is too big, etc. Don't bash me, I don't know a lot. I really want that "flush"/"stance" look you could say

Hey and welcome to NICO Club!

Here's a couple neat articles about tires and wheels, a link to my favorite tire and wheel calculator as well as a link to tire widths for rim widths. Plug in your OEM numbers and compare them to your desired wheels and tires. Don't forget to consider the cost of replacement rubber for the future. Have fun with the mods!

Be sure you read up on all the pros and cons about owning coilovers. In addition, be sure research the price of 19" tires, which are typically on the expensive side.

Here's a best practice when it comes to determining the correct wheel & tire combo for up-sized aftermarket wheels. This best practice is intended for a "plug and play" swap on a factory suspension.

If your factory wheels are 18 x 7.5 + 40 and wrapped with 245/45/18 tires. Just up-size to a 19 x 7.5 + 40 using the same or similar tire specs. Doing so will avoid wheel/tire rubbing. However, if you will be lowering your car be sure to factor in the reduced ride height to prevent wheel/tire rubbing.

Once you understand the tire/wheel sizing more proficiently, you will be comfortable using custom, and more aggressive tire/wheel combos.
