I have a Silver Altima Sedan 07 and I finally decided its time to start adding mods to my car. I used the search feature and saw offsets and sizes of different rims/combos that you guys are using. I have found the TSW Thruxtons to be one of my favorite choices and was wondering if the 19s in Hyper Black would be perfect? I was going to get the rear in 9.5 and front as 8.5. For tires would 235/35/19 front 255/35/19 rear be fine? And would I have any trouble with rubbing or being uncomfortable with the eibach lowering kit? And last but not least, do you think I should wait until spring to get the rims because I dont know if snow/salt will mess them up as I live in NJ. Thanks for the help fellas.

(And I hope to be at the next meet in NJ/NY whenever its planned )

P.S.After roaming through these forums for 6 months I have decided to finally join the family and be a user.. so Hi?

welcome!

Your sizes are a little off - you should be using 235/40/19 in the front, as this is as close to the stock size in terms of diameter as you can get, and the back should be what you have it at now.

However, why are you staggering your wheel setup? On a front wheel drive setup, you are going to see no gain from having larger wheels in the back - if you are doing it for cosmetic reasons, that's fine, but you will get no benefit from having larger wheels in the rear...

I would definately wait until the snow is gone too, all that crud takes it's toll on your car after a while.
