New to the club, help me out?

[dmbp]

Hey guys, just bought my car last month, i did a few exterior things not much though, the wheels I bought are wider than the wheelbase and if i have too much weight in the car, they rub against the frame. I was thinking of getting a stiffer suspension, any suggestions on what I should do?

[SniperJoe]

The best fix would be to get the correct rims with the correct offset. I would think that even with a stiffer suspension you will still risk body damage should you make an evasive maneuver or turned in such a way that the car would sway.

Just my .02 cents

[08coupedriver]

yea man its tough to get anything that will help you out with your problem,you gotta change the wheels but I bet you could get a good price for those,whats the offset?

besides that the car is nice red leather-manual-tinted tails- even the rims look pretty good

the only thing thats a little odd is the red lettering maybe debadging it "alt" lol

[downedzephyr]

first off, welcome to the club!i agree with sniperjoe, the easiest (and probably best looking fix) would be to get the correct size rims.

On another note, the red badges on the back are tacky imo, although i like what you're going for with the red on black rims/interior.

Welcome to the Family Dominic. The car looks great. The best thing to do for your wheel and wheelbase problem would be to get the correct offset for the wheels to fix that problem. Don't get me wrong those wheels look SEXY as hell on the car, but it's to much of a problem with the wheels being the wrong offset. A stiffer suspension will make the car ride way to rough and anoying. I like your car overall, BUT my advice to you my good man would be to debadge and completely remove all the badges on the back of the car because it looks akward. I'm not being an A**hole. I'm just giving you my opinion so has downedzephyr. With the wheels the correct offset you can actually lower the car which will give you a better/stiffer ride quality and make the car HOTTER then in already is because wheel gap is a HUGE no no with many people. But to each there own and it is your car after all.

BAH! You lot are all so narrow minded...

To the OP...I'm voting you do a complete custom wide body kit! Fender flares FTW.

Someone was talking about getting a custom wide body kit.. i really liked the idea but idk yet, i have some money that i can burn on the car so i could if i wanted to.

On the alt part, i was debadging it and lost the "I" so i just put it back on to see what it looked like with the red, but I probably will completely debadge it.

Well there isn't a widebody kit out there yet for the A/C. So you'll be the first to have one if you decide to have it done. Just be ready to drop a good amount of $$$ mulahhh into the car getting that done.

It's great to hear that you're going to debadge it . Good move there.

What wheel size are those 18x??? or 19x??? and the offset?

[crayzitalian3]

i agree with ESP, i have been dying to see what a custom wide body would look like on my car. Get custom fender flares and bring it to the body shop and let those guys do magic! i think it would def make the car look AMAZING

these are the ones i got

[wade001]

that would explain it, the offset is 20mm which is real low for our cars. I'm guessing a good guide line offset would be 30-45mm depending on the rims/wheels? I see ur in blauvelt lol, thats where I am. maybe we'll meet sometime

first of all, your car is GOD with that red leather, 3.5SR and 6MT, oh man

now what you can do is roll your fender or go with coilovers and get negative camber all arround for the JDM look or go wide body (DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!!!!)

I will really look into getting a wide body kit, but I wouldn't know where to start...

The other ideas are solid and I might look into that.

And I read over my original posts, and they only rub/hit when there is decent weight in the backseat and i hit an uneven surface. So I don't think completely changing the wheels would be necessary (plus I really like the look haha)

[mrodrig2]

It looks like the rear offset is too far out to tuck with any livable amount of camber. And also it seems to me that your tires are stretched a bit, the rears more so than the fronts. Did you do that purposefully?

[yoonzilla]

Holy...yeah fix that offset!!!

[The_alchemist]

rims look sick bro sucks that they don't fit right, did you buy them online? i would love to have a pair of these

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Loving that red leather! Welcome!

[dmbp]

So, I think for the meantime, I'm going to buy the same wheels with the correct offset, and then lower the car.

They will be 18s instead of 19s though

What offset should I get if i wanted to lower the car?http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=31

[Colton92]

Awesome Car Get some better fitting wheels and drop it and it will be pure sexxxxxxI like the leather

[bunda4th]

Don't buy another set.

You are fine with what you have, you just need to lower it with coilovers and roll your fenders.

I mean look at my car I am running 18x8.5 +35 front and +15 rear with minor fender roll and fully lowered with coilover (all rings lock). I plan on going 19x9 +30 with stretch tires and fully roll all 4 fenders. If the rear don't sit flush I will be getting 5-10mm spacer.

I say try lowering the car first and see how it sit. The only thing the front will probably stick out so you might need to get the same wheel just with +30 or +35 offset if they offer that in the size you have now.

edit: http://forums.altimas.org/zero...shoot

that is how my car look right now, as you can see if you get coilover and lower with negative camber. I do rub when I have people in the back and my passenger rear tire took a beating a bit.

I wouldn't change the wheels, the fitment looks fine. I recommend getting coilovers(ex. BC racing or Tein SS). From there you can adjust your camber, stiffness, and height. Roll the rear fenders if necessary. You won't regret it

Great job on the debadge, much cleaner imo.

[QR25DE]

Don't roll the fenders, it's not a 240... lol... I'd get the right rim size and work from there. Sell your rims you have now, buy the same set in the proper offset/size and be done with it. Then boost.

Don't listen to that rolling your fender is fine. As I mention earlier and what Loop has said just get coilovers and adjust for negative camber.

The only way you will have aggressive wheel set up is to roll those fender. And what you have will look very nice lower. But make sure you get those fender rolled before dropping it.

[mcheddadi]

forget what everyone says. do it the baller way.

WIDEBODY

or roll your fenders and get some coilovers (I recommend BC racing). btw, get some led tailights from ebay. the stock looking ones with just leds instead would look sex on your car.

man red leather soooo PIMMMMPPP!
