Hello all
I am driving a coupe 2009 with stock 18 wheels
My question is
I bought 22" for my altima coupe and i have seen a few others on the net with pictures captioned as
"Lowered on 22"
My question is
I can actually lower the car and still fit 22?
I have the rims of a +35 offset
9 inch width
22"

I know the wheels will barely fit and proabbly rub in front and need a spacer in the back
But can anyone give me any more specifics of what to dos on lowering and 22"?
Again its 2009 coupe 3.5se automatic
Any help appreciated
Already bought rims
No tires yet

And yes
I bought the 22" knowing they wont fit happily on the car

The easiest way to upsize wheels without rubbing is to maintain the factory offset and width. You'll definitely have some rubbing issues with the specs you presented. What are the tire specs? If you're willing to lower your car using coilovers or bags, you will give yourself some additional ability to address the rubbing issues.
