Wide FRONT Wheels (9.5/10 inch) on an Altima Coupe

[conyey]

Hey guys, I have a simple question, and as I don't believe anyone on the forum has posted concerning this yet, I have to ask.

What's the widest wheel width that would fit our Altima Coupe's, particularly up front? I see a lot of people are running staggered fitment, but as our cars a front wheel drive I'm really not fond of that look, because it makes our car look like something it's not...

But that being said, I'm just wondering if anyone's fit a wheel 9.5 inches or wider up FRONT on our cars, and if those people can chime in. I know people have fit 10 and even 10.5 inch wheels in the rear with camber and rolled fenders and what have you, but I'd like to fit a wider wheel up front as well since they are after all our drive wheels.

In particular, I'm looking at a set of 18x10 +30 offset wheels all around, and I just want to confirm fitment before actually pulling the trigger. I'd be willing to roll the fenders and stretch the tires a bit (only to a certain extent) and I'm not looking to run excessive camber since I don't like the idea of excess inside tire wear on my daily driver.

Let me know guys, looking for an informative post. Thanks.

18x10 +30 will fit fine with inner fender roll/trim and slight stretch.

Won't need mad camber

[conyey]

How much camber and stretch are we talking.

Anything above 1.5 degrees is pushing it. Function>Form, I'll take a slightly narrower wheel if I have to push the envelope just to get it to fit.

Always mention what kind of suspension you're running when you ask fitment questions.

I'm actually on the stock suspension right now, but plan on dropping to a 1 finger gap between tire and fender all around on either BC's or Street Advances if they're actually put out for the Altima Coupe in the near future.

oh snap! what offset and tires are you running front and back if i may ask?

i'm running 245/35 all around with a +22front and +16rear

With those specs you shouldn't need any camber to clear fenders, Unless of course you run beefy tires like most people on here. It is definitely do-able you just need correct fitment. I've ran 20x10.5 all around +22F +15R but then again you don't wanna hear my camber numbers.

I'm running 18x9.5 +30 all around on Tein Street Advance Dampers. Slight camber in the rear, no fender roll or pull. Wheels fit just fine.

You got CV1's?!?!?! Nice! That is the exact setup I would be running if I could afford lol I guess we have similar style since I'm getting your old wheels basically :p

(Sorry to thread jack lol)

Thats good to know =) do you think the wheels would clear if they were 10" wide, or would there be any clearance issues on The inside of the wheel? What Camber are you running?
Also I'd love to see pics of your ride!

[conyey]

So guys, ultimately my plan is to run a 1.5" drop front and rear, and to run 18x10 +30 wheels with 265/40/18 tires on all four; fender rolling is a possibility, but I don't plan on pulling my fenders.

If I went ahead and ran this setup, would I be able to attain close to stock camber, or would I be forced to either A.) decrease my tire width or B.) run an excess amount of negative camber?

Please help, looking for some answers before making these purchases. I need to be sure.

Tires are way too thick. You will rub running any type of coils

[dangeris]

^^ what he said...265 is way to wide of a tire. I'd drop it down to 245 fronts / 265 rear..providing you run a lower off set. If not, you will rub!

[conyey]

so what do you suggest then; running 245/35/19?

[GrayCoupe]

That might be the best fitment.

I'm running 245/35/19 all around without any issues.

i agree

[alphapig]

245/35 on a 10in wide wheel is silly

Here's an example:



If you're into that kinda thing then go for it.

[conyey]

I don't mind a mild*** stretch

[BRicci]

Yeah, that stretch looks good, it's barely any at all.

[alphapig]

Haha that just shows how StanceWorks has ruined our perception of tire stretch.

Fitting gigantically wide wheels with tiny tires is for hard parking and not much else.

I'm running 255/40/19 all around on 19x8.5 wheels all around

[BRicci]

245/35 is 9.65 inches wide.. that's less than a quarter of inch stretch each side. I can't see how someone would think that looks silly but to each his own :p I like slight stretches over anything.

[AlexN09]

I don't really like the stretched look personally. Why buy expensive wide wheels just to make them look skinnier? Stretched tires have a weird round look to the wheel and tire package that I can't get into. It's still a cool concept to me. I just prefer the look of a matching tire.

[nismogxs21]

Heres my altima with the Vossen CV1s running 245-35-19

[BRicci]

^ So perfect..

Nice, big props for running that with static suspension!

It looks fantastic for hard parking and for trolling the freeways.

Completely useless for performance driving.

All depends what you're into.

Sometimes it's necessary to clear the fenders. I personally don't like it either believe it or not lol. but Its gotta be done to stay at that height.

Huh?

Ride height can be completely dumped with skinnier wheels and wider tires, what it comes down to is the obsession with hella flush

[AlexN09]

Yeah I agree with pig.
