Wheel width question for 08 Altima Coupe

[fyrmun37]

Found closeout deal on staggered wheels, but they don't have size I want. Salesman said 19x9.5's on rear & 19 x8.5's on front will work, but I think the rears will stick out and/or rub on inside. Can anyone help me? I wanted 19x8 & 19x9's, but they don't have them.

depends on the offset of the rear and front

I have 19x8.5's with +45 offset

I think the offset was 40 up front and 30 in the rear. The 9.5's still seem way too wide. I measured them at 10 5/8" wide, then placed a tape measure in the wheel well and it apperared impossible.

hmm, very close call... I have 20 x 8.5" on the rear w/ +35 offset, and I think if I had gone +30 offset I would have no issues at all with rubbing (on 26.7" diameter tires)

your wheels will stick out approx .5" + 5mm = 17.7mm or 1.8 cm more than mine... I would say that with an Eibach drop, you will be cutting it very very close in the rear, the fronts should be fine! If I had to do it, I would go ahead and get them, drop the car, and see what happens, remember the natural negative camber of the rear wheels helps when the car drops... if you do have to roll the fenders, you won't have to roll them much!

I thought they would stick out. The salesman assured me they wouldn't. Dang!
