if you get coilovers it should be pretty flush with 19s. What's the offset of your current wheels?

I would love to see what the Advan RS-D looks like on a Altima coupe..I can only imagined it being pure sex since I had the Advan RS on mine.

To the OP, do you plan on going a staggered setup? Let me know so I can give you my opinion on size and offset. This way you get the best concave(Yokohama calls it GTR face, not all offset has this) and lip for the Advan RS-D.

Also you may want to consider BC Racing BR coilovers if you plan on slamming. They are fully adjustable height.

i wasn't planning to go for a staggered setup at first but i would be interested in looking into it , after looking into the rims its about an 8 week lead time but i do plan on getting them and for the bc racing coilovers i have been looking online and i can't seem to find them i remember their was a vendor for them on this forum but they dont carry it it instock on their site anymore. Any opinions on the teins? i was told they would fit on the 2.5

im waiting for the tein coilovers for the 2.5, as i believe it was Loop who said Tein was better for daily driving. Im not sure the coilovers for the 3.5 will fit the 2.5

Yes, I said the Tein's were geared towards to daily driving. However, I received new BC Racing shock cartridges and I will be installing it this weekend. I am pretty confident this will fix its harsh ride that some people have been complaining on this forum.

Staggered: 19x9 +35 and 19x10 +35
Non-staggered: 19x9 +35

This will give you a deep face with a concave look.

If you plan on going super aggressive look into the +25 offset they have too. But I don't recommend the +25 offset.

Loop: please keep is updated on the new shock cartridges from BC Racing, very interested to see how that turns out as im in the market for coils and honestly the BC Racing fits my color scheme better.

Also you said you wouldnt recomment a +25 offset, what about a +23 offset on an 18x8 with 225/45/18?

As for the shocks go, I plan on doing so.

When its comes to the wheels and tires, all of my recommendation takes consideration of using close to stock alignment and no modification to your fenders and no rubbing under hard spirited driving and minimal stretch to your tires.

That is a very close call, you may get away with a tad camber and moderate roll to the rear fenders. They will fit but if go back to what I take into consideration, you will run into rubbing.

Nothing wrong with spacers nowadays as long as its a reputable company and making sure its the correct fitment(studs and bore size) and installed correctly. Good choice on Project Kics, they are one of my favorites. Although I still prefer the correct wheel size and offset than using spacers.
