Size of rims

[kdog154]

Can anyone guess at the size of these rims on this coupe?

[RicerX]

Look like 20s to me. Looks to be a +45 offset (or somewhere in that neighborhood). I say 20s because they still look large even though they have a lip. Do you actually know what size they are or are you trying to get the opinion of a trained eye for reference?

What does lip have to do with diameter?
I think they're 18's or 19's

It doesn't, but I find that wheels with lips look smaller than their given diameter than a wheel of the same diameter without a lip. Kind of an "optical illusion" sort of thing.

I don't know the size. Just wanted the opinion of a trained eye.

I didn't want to go measuring them (the car was parked outside the mall).

Oh, gotcha

Are 20's to much for a Altima Coupe?

Will they make the ride a lot worse?

Or would it ride the same with stock tires/rims until you lower it?

Best way to get the rim size is to read the tire size info on the side of the tire (say for example 245/35-20). The last two digits on the tire size denotes the wheel diameter. No measuring required

no, as long as they're not super chromed out donk wheels.
yes, since your tires will likely not be as beefy as a smaller wheel, thus absorbing less impact.
lowering it will worsen your drive quality as well.

unless you get wheels/tires that are basically the same spec as your stock wheels, expect for your ride quality to change

On stock springs it won't make the ride quality horrid, but if you did decide to lower your car I would think it would be pretty stiff and bumpy. I'm on 19's and lowered, but I have pretty beefy tires and my ride quality is about equal to stock tires with lowering springs.

There is def a fine line when it comes to wheels for the coupe. If you have to get 20s I would def stay away from chrome, unless it's like a chrome lip. Black, polished aluminum, or a combo of both works most of the time, and gunmetal would look good too. Also most mesh type wheels look nice on the coupe.

btw what color is your car?

My car is black.

I have 20"s and i love em. I'm lowered on eibachs and there is a difference but it really isn't that bad. I love the little bit stiffer ride. Plus with the wider tires cornering is way more fun. and yeah those rims in the pic look like they are 20's
