[BigDan727]

Hey guys im new to the board and im sure this subject has been beat to death but im ready to order my rims but my rim guy needs to kno the proper backspaceing

2008 Altima Coupe20x ?19x ?

I need to kno wat is the widest i can go w/o having problems and what will be the proper backspacing for either size

Thanks guys

I'd go 19x8.5

Btw, i wouldn't get rims now. its gonna start snowing soon. wait til next year.

Are you set on only 19's or 20's? I only ask because if anyone asked for my honest opinion, I'd tell them that 18's are the way to go. 18x8.5 +38 to +45 on 245/40/18 or 245/45/18 would be THE best set-up for the Altima's in my opinion. I'm on 18x8 +37 after spacers 225/45/18 and I love them. The reason I wouldn't go any bigger is because of ride quality. I think 18's are the perfect balance between looks, ride quality and performance.

If you're set on the 19's or 20's, I wouldn't get an offset below +38. I think it was LBC who's on 20x8.5 with a +35 and he clears ok though. I could be wrong, so you need to find out for sure.

Yea im pretty set on 19's or 20'sIm not to worried about ride quality.I have to order the rims soon b/c they take 3monthes to get built and shipped, i have to get the sizes for the wheel dealer tho.

I decieded on Forgiato Quinto's, They are gonna run me close to 10k for rims and tires but they are so nice lol. Anyway Keep the advice coming on sizing.

10K for rims and tires???

On a 30k Car??? Can you post a picture of the wheels. They must be Forged, Multi piece and finished with bejeweled rivets.

10k?? Are they made of the pope's gold? Sheesh. If you have money to drop like that on rims then by all means enjoy man.

OK, so I do believe in doing your own thing, but for the first time in the history of NICO, I actually agree with Cali2baltiG ... Forgiatos are meant for ultra high end cars... Bentleys, S class mercedez, etc. But to pay 10K for rims on a 30K car... well that's a first... I mean its not the most expensive rim available (there are Lexanis that cost around $250,000.00 for a set) but seriously...10K to put on an altima.... well, do your thing I guess.. but please make sure you are actually buying from an authorized Forgiato dealer...there's only like 20 or so in the U.S. (50 in the world)

Dude, I can just lend you my grandma's bedazzler and you can put some rhinestones on yourself!!

Damn---I'm afraid to leave my 2.5 with stock rims in a parking lot....wtf are you gonna do with 10k shoes?

Big ups though!!!

Dude, use that 10K for something that'll benefit you or your car better. Like a good education, or maybe a turbo/forged race wheels/exhaust/tint/sounds, and still have some change to spare. Everyone is entitled to do what they wish with their money, but I think the consensus is out; 10K on a 20K-30K car is just wrong.

I prefer 18's due to the ride quality, and overall performance. Going with 19's would mean you would have to get the skinniest tires so that your speedometer is not thrown off.

Not skinnier, but smaller aspect ratio (series or profile as some would say).

That's what I meant LOL

well the 10k is a rough estimate and that includes Lowing the car and all the shipping/lugs and the other b/s that goes along w/ it. The rims are forged 3piece, the final price of the rims was 5700 + 400 for shipping. Then i figured prolly another 5-600 for tires, 275 for springs and another 350 for installation. So its prolly closer to 8k not 10. The 10k was b4 i spoke to the wheel maker. And im getting my forgiatos Directly from them. And honestly if i want to Spend the $ on it then let me w/o getting on my case. Like i read on this site a lot, " To each Their Own". Thank you very much for the help w/ the sizing
