Ok, I don't know a whole lot about variations in wheels and tires so I need some help. I have an opportunity to purchase some new Volk GT-7 Wheels with BF Goodrich 245/35ZR18 Tires mounted for $2K. The wheels are 18x9 with a +31 offset. Will these fit on the Altima Coupe.

nice, but do you really need ZR rated tires, your not driving a lambo, the CVT altima tops at 130, and the se 6mt at 146, mods wont even get you neer what the tires are rated at. i say get "Z" rated tires not "ZR"

At 9" wide, +31 will lip out pass the fender. Some like that look though, so it's all up to you.

But then again, why drive an Altima which even goes 130mph? 99.9% of Altima owners will not take it to the governor. Z rated tires are nice and if you get a good package deal on them, why not?

Thanks for the feedback and the education! I think I will pass and hold off for something that will look more flush with the fender. The only reason I would have gotten these tires is that they were already mounted on the wheels and it was a package deal from a guy who bought them for his Lexus IS but never put them on because he found out he and his wife were expecting so now he needs the money.

I'll keep looking.

Does anyone have the actual width and offset information?

These 2 pieces together are key in helping people understand what wheels can/will fit the coupe.

My guess is everyone wants to go wider and less sunken, I'll toy around with some #'s.
