IIRC Altima SER wheels are 8" +45? which are going to sit 15mm further in than OEM.

So 20mm spacers will make them a little more aggressive than OEM coupe wheels.

^how big of a spacer would I need for flush fitment?

Is there somewhere I can read about the fitment so I don't have to keep asking?

Google wheel offset and read up.

I would say minimum 30mm spacer and it will start to look half decent.

g35 coupe 2006
hey guys, im new to this page and just need alil info and advise from pros to help me with my drop.

my front 2 tire are nito invo 225/45zr19 96w and have my oem 19inch rims.
my rear 2 tires are bridgestone potenza 245/40/r19 also has my oem 19inch rims.

Now im debating on which suspension i should get. whether is springs with shocks, adjustable coilovers, or just sprigs, after market camber kit, bars. like i said im new to all this but will like to have my car have a nice drop, nothing too crazy cause i live in an area where theres too many bumps and wouldnt want to rub off my panels, or fenders.

thanks.

^ front's you will want a spacer.

Rear is another story. If you're not lowered then these won't work, that tire size definitely won't work and you're going to need some camber (hence the lowered part) If you bolt them on as is they're going to look goofy.

I always recommend coilovers so it's adjustable. Because springs never give you just the right drops.

Drop
BC racing coilovers new, about $1000 shipped, used $800. $200 for a shop to install them.

Springs, most springs will give you a 1 or 2 inch drop. And springs go for about $200-$300 new. $200 for a shop to install those as well.

Alignment

If you plan to drop the car more than an inch and a half, you might want a camber kit to save the tires. Only buy the rear as the front is a tonne of money and won't really eat tires that badly. SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts is about $180 IIRC.

Spacers
These push your wheels out and give you a flusher look, you don't want to rub so I'd recommend 20mm spacer up front and 25mm out back. Rolling the fenders is recommend but not a requirement.
