So, I had a thread a while ago about how i was having trouble with my new wheels. I figured that all out by buying some mag lug nuts. In the process of putting the wheels on I realized one of the studs on my front passenger side hubs was stripped so im only running 3 lug nuts.

Wheels are 15x8 -5, with about 4 inches of lip all around.

The moment I put the wheels on my friends and i just started laughing: the fitment is ridiculous. Ill probably be getting coils in a month or so, and that will definitely help. Fitment looks about the same as when d*star put his 15x8 -10's on, so with some camber, a bigger drop and a roll/pull i know i can fit these.

pics (eww):



i can take some more pics later but that's all i have for now.

lol, i like how you blurred your license plate in your sig, but not in any of these pictures.

a drop will definitely help, but i have to ask, what size tire are you running on those?

ya too lazy to edit all the pics. tires came with the wheels. i think they;re 195/60. im gonna have to throw my tires off my stockers onto the rear wheels cuz the tires on right now are kinda bald.

they wont. these already have a more negative offset and they fit like -10's.

yeah but its not a very good looking nissan.. you def need wide fenders, coils and some camber... it should look hella better once you done that.

I bought the car already painted like that. IMO, it looks like ****, but then again, i dont really give a ****.

and to all you saying it looks terrible, I COMPLETELY AGREE.

but stop telling me to get coils/camber/pull. you're either stupid or you didn't read the thread because i blatantly said i was getting that all done in the next month.

thanks

i actually really like the offset. when i can dial in a drop and some camber i can get them flush.

Yeah when your only rocking 15 x 8s you shouldn't be pushing out like that 15x11's maybe

Fender flares what you need..It's kind of hard to pull it off by just pulling/rolling and of course the drop( as you mentioned you would do). Anyways goodluck on the project

FYI, widths have nothing to do why its sticking out... its all about the offsets.

You can fit 10s and 11's in the rears easily without having it stick out... I've seen 10's with like +45 offset fit easy in the rear
