I'm looking into grabbing these gems for my '08 altima coupe AFTER I put it on BC coils http://www.frsport.com/Work-Wheels-Emot ... 19825.html I was wondering which offset would result in the safest fitment: +43,+38, or +30? and If the large lip size will effect my options, or in other words result in having to purchase a smaller wheel width. Here is a nice little chart for reference courtesy of Work Wheels http://www.workwheelsusa.com/media/whee ... 20Spec.pdf

Thanks in advance for any and all help

Speaking from experience, hope you like cleaning for white wheels will get dirty from just driving down the block. If you have a white coupe they will look great.

If you're going with something expensive like Work wheels, go wider than 9"
Just my opinion

Its definitely a valid one. Would I be able to rock 18x10's with a +38 safely?

For the love of god, read the fitment thread before you drop cash on wheels.

And just to be nice, yes you will be able to.

With spacers yes; on the front that will come too close to the wheel well.
I would say like a 10 or 15mm spacer in the front and a 15 or 20mm in the rear, respectively.
Of course you'll have to have your fenders rolled and prolly run a slight stretch.

Devious is running 10" wide and +22F & +16R.. that's what I'm basing it off.

A combination of stretched tires + negative camber, and of course the obvious rolled fenders.

Pretty much what he said. I'm not running a ridiculous stretch or camber though. I haven't installed my camber kit yet so the camber is natural from dropping the car low. My tires i'm running is 245/35 all around. They're not too thin/skinny and the still have a decent stretch. Click on the link in my sig for pics
