i have 19" with eibachs and i love the ride. No roll when cornering. you do feel bumps alot more but its a price to pay for looking sexy lol. I also feel like the traction is better on take off because more weight is displaced on the front but that could just be crazy thinking on my part. just so u know I have 19" nismo rims which are very light. I think heavy rims would be more bumpier.

true dat, really painful and I had EXTRA side wall (more than stock tire and rim ratio)

17s are MUCH more comfortable and when I clean them, they are Sexy!

I have 20's and it was a great ride until i had them balanced. They did a pretty crappy job so I gotta go back to get them rebalanced.

the thing is, the ride in this car stock was already pretty rough... they call it a sport supension, but as far as sport suspensions go, it sucks IMO...

and its even worse on the 3.5 compared to the 2.5 (they don't have the same suspension)

the suspension on my 2.5 Altima is definitly softer than that on my 3.5...

so the long and the short of it is... if you have a 3.5 with the "sport tuned suspension" and you get 19"'s or 20's... its gonna be a tad bit more uncomfortable than it already was stock... but again, IMO, it sucks to begin with comfort wise, so what do you have to lose?

But as BlackNWhite stated earlier, it looks sexy as heck!!

I don't mind at all, take a look. It's firm and next to no body roll. I love it.

OMG aweful, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Its not a great ride on stock 17's, my buddies 19's are, well, let's just say I've had the same ride in a 1986 Jeep Wrangler.
