Here's some 17" for ya... Even though the profile is less than the stock tires, these feel better... maybe it's because the originals are so skinny. Wider tracks definitely make a difference

It would be nice if someone knew what the stock Versa rims weigh. I have 17" Tenzo DC-6's on the V now and they only weigh 17 pounds each.

hey superskunk... I know lowering the car would make it feel even better and so I'm looking to do that pretty soon. I'm researching options at the moment. Maybe you want to point me in the directions

whoever said 14's do not fit you were wrong. My 09 came with 14's stock.

Brakes the same on the 1.6L as 1.8L?

I forgot to ask in my last post..where did you get your center dash piece customized to fit in those tachometers? I am currently wanted to do something like that with my dash but have had no luck finding someone or somewhere that will do it. :/

Thanks in advanced

14"s wont fit on the 1.8 V. Brakes are too big. Only the 1.6s come in 14s. 1.8s have 15"s.

I went to Nissan some time last week and I finally saw a Versa with 14" rims and let me tell you it looked horrible. The smaller wheel size does not do justice for this car, it does look a bit weird because the gap is so much more noticeable than before.

17" is the best for ride comfort. 18's will be too heavy unless you spend the money on light wheels and since the tirewall will be thinner, the ride will be harsh.

Does anyone know what the stock 17" alloys weigh? That would be good info to have before choosing another wheel, so you could know if it was lighter or heavier.
stock SL 15's with tires are at 31 LBS each.
