Safest/Lowest I have seen or would go is 8.5 +30 front & 8.5 +25 rear or 19x9 +35 front & 19x9+30 rear. These offset are meant with coilovers.

So I'm just learning about cars and I read through this thread and saw that you guys were using those numbers for specs? Could anyone explain them to me please?

I really don't think its hard to type in wheel offset? Wheel size? Wheel width? Maybe I am just being harsh. :confused:

Yeah that's what I've been typing but all it gives are examples and not the actual meaning. But it's fine. Someone else explained it to me already. Thanks anyway

I am not sure how you can't find the meaning unless with such poor search skills or being lazy. There is just way to many topics about this subject everywhere. Good to know a member or someone has helped in explaining it to you.

No worries, I am giving you a hard time since you are new. I just don't like the fact when new people come here and ask the same questions when its been answered or the subject itself is a wide-known topic that can be found on the internet.

If you are interested/into car meets, Fontana Nissan is hosting a Nissan meet on August 1st. I will be there as well as some of the members here with Altima Coupes.

That's no problem. I know that it was most likely answered before that's why I was so frustrated when I couldn't find it. I'm not too familiar with this website yet, so I'm still learning. Thanks for the invite, although it might be a bit embarrassing to roll into a meet with a bunch of nice cars and mines all nooby. -.- But I'll keep it in mind

you should definitly go if you have a chance, i went to one in dallas not long ago, there were only nine of us and i was the closest to stock if i remember right, but it was really fun to meet people that all had a common reason for being there, we just took pictures, talked, and went out to eat together.

I can understand if you were using the NICO search as it is more of an advanced search tool. Although google is my best internet tool friend.

As long as you will keep it in mind, it would be nice to have a decent turn out of Altima Coupes. It has been lacking over the years sadly. Nothing to be embarrassed, it is a Nissan meet and meant for all Nissan's. You can always caravan with someone to not be alone as long as it is a Nissan.
