Went to the local wheel shop in Anaheim called Wheel warehouse. I just ordered me some new rims. The rims that I had orginally on the car I just dont like so my Dad is taking them and putting it on his 08 Maxima. Also picked up some BC Racing Coilovers. They said I will be able to adjust the height on my altima so we will see. Whats nice is its comes with the shock and the springs and heard to be better then eibach. Here are the pic of the rims=



The Size im getting are Front 20x8.5, Rear 20x10

They said it will fit with FWD and if it doesnt they will make a few mods to make it fit. Hopefully it comes out nice. Hoping for the best. Rims and coilovers should be complete in about three weeks.

Tell them to cancel the current order on the wheels and re-buy all 4 the same size.

I would not trust a wheel shop that tells me that they can 'make some mods' so that 20x8.5 and 20x10 is appropriate for a FWD car. Even if the 20x10 will fit without rubbing, what they are probably talking about 'modding' is just adding spacers so that all 4 poke the same and/or flaring your fenders. All of this is unnecessary, added expense to you especially considering that you can just buy the right size in the first place and have them fit fine.

It will come out fine. They have worked on all my cars I have faith there doing the right thing. This isnt going to be an issue for them. Im not the only altima they placed a bigger wheel in the back.

^^ may be true but thats retarted to have 10in width in the rear when u dont have to. Ull pay more for tires.

And of course theyd say that bc they might have to extend ur fenders. The only reason being bc u got the coils. You cant slam that b**** unless u extend the fenders with a 10in width. Plus y do you want the extra weight.

You should have posted this b4 bc u should DEF return them. And on top of that its gonna lok retarted 10 in in the rear but its fwd......

I know that you are not the only Altima with staggered wheels. I think it's a silly fad to emulate the look of RWD on a FWD vehicle but, as long as you are purposefully doing it and understand what you are doing, then continue you as you please. Your statement, "Also picked up some BC Racing Coilovers. They said I will be able to adjust the height on my altima so we will see," led me to believe that you don't necessarily understand everything that this shop is doing for you. I was simply trying to save you some possible hassle and expense for what is unnecessary in my opinion.

what the forum people are telling you is the truth bro. they can make it fit but its not going to look right. your fenders are gonna be lined up right, can u think about it for a second? our cars match up perfectly with 8.5s all around strecting out your fenders is gonna be weird looking. and they going to need to stretch those tires like crazy if u gonna dump it on coilovers. also i would not do all those mods for simple konigs go volks or works bro

i'd have to agree with everyone else. i've got the staggered setup myself, but that's because i bought the entire set used off a G35. if i could, i'd change them to all be the same width, because there's no point in having a staggered setup on our cars. and, as mentioned you can save some money because the 20x10 rims will cost more and weight more. go with 8.5 all around and you won't be dissapointed, it's still much wider than our stock 7

Beautiful rims. Ya I would go with 8.5 all around, 10inch should fit in the rear I think there is ONE person on here with their rear that wide. But it's going to cost more in the long run with rotating and all that.

I wont be getting these rims anymore. I had a custom order rim from Monarch rims. I will have a bigger rim in the back. Its going to have a 2 inch lip in the front and almost four in the back. I went to the Shop in Buena park to make sure I get what I want. Yes I know I cant rotate the tires but I dont care. You live life once so you better enjoy it. Once the rims get here I will put up pics. The rims are something different. very unique.
