Hi guys. I'm getting rid of my 19x9.5 +40 axis wheels wrapped in 245/40/19. I'm going 1 size down but wider, I recently put an order on a new set of wheels they are 18x9.75 with +20 offset and d2 coilovers and wrapping them in 245/40/18.. Is my offset too aggressive?? will i need spacers? I had my rear fenders rolled just in case. your help and input would be helpful. Thanks

Spacers will only make your offset more aggressive lol. Try reading up on it if you don't get the concepts, trust me it'll help you in the long run.

As for your question, +20 should work.. it'll make the wheels look flush.

I will never understand why someone would put such a wide wheel on an altima, nor why you would stretch tires that thin... must be nice to live in a "snow-less" state!

I'm also thinking of a 18x9.75 in the rear with a +20 offset. I'm on stock suspension and I don't have my fenders rolled. Will this work as well?????

OP which wheels are you going with

You keep saying that and I'll never believe it. We never grow old, we just learn how to act in public. ;)

I was thinking of the xxr 530 in the 18x9.75 rear with +20 offset just don't know if this will work on the stock suspension setup no fender roll

I'm going to post this here since it seems like there are quite a few stanced AC's here. I'm an active poster on the "other" site lol, but not too many 4th Gens with aggressive setups there.

I have a 4th Gen sedan, lowered on Eibachs until I go air or coils. I really like the look and price of the XXR 521s. I'm looking to get 20x8.5+32 (235/30/20 tire) for the front and 20x10.5+30 (275/30/20) for the rear. Will I have issues regarding rubbing in the rear?

With that setup I believe you'll have to roll the fenders from the rear

Are those tires a decent stretch or will they look beefy?

What tire sizes would yield me a decent looking stretch and keep me as close to stock diameter as possible.
