hey guys a few questions! I had 17s on my altima 2010 which now I feel are too small..
Anyways, I want to get 19" rims for my car.

1) Does it matter if the rims are branded or not? As long they are around 11kgs I think its okay right?
Like the lenso rims from near Sahara?

2) Next, the tires. I am planning on going with 245/35/R19, front and back. Is that cool? Or do I keep the back tires a different size. And can someone please tell me what offset to use? Overall, I want to make sure that it doesnt give me a speedometer error more than 2%, it does not rub, and wont vibrate.

I am going to buy the rims after 15hrs, so someone please reply quick!
Much appreciated!

i say never sharjah rims cuz well they are not reliable..apparently they cause vibrations and all that
and as to check for the tires and rims thing

ur tire size will be perfect and all that..but thres one issue...once u have 19" ur cars goin to gain a lot of height..my 18's gave way too much height..so immediately strt ordering ur springs.

i dnt know about the rubbing but i say go max to max 2 inches more thn ur stock.

Not so sure 'bout those unbranded rims... they can cause problems in the long run
Try and look for original wheels, like rotas or oem wheels from other nissans... or even used originals... (check garage locations thread)
Tire specs seem allright for 19's... (Y) but yea.. will need to be lowered aftr that no doubt

Thanks for the quick reply guys!
I am getting my eibach springs tomorrow or day after so its cool! Im going to install the rims and lower it at the same time pretty much....

Also, Im not buying just ANY shj rims, I will be buying the Lenso rims that those guys are selling in the beginning of the tire market. What do you think of that? Looking for used originals is such a pain expecially if you dont know where to check.

With those tire specs, how much offset do I need?
Thanks!

Lensos are passable, not bad but not great either. Stick to the stock offset, 5 secs on Google tells me it is 45mm, so anything close to that will do.

i dont know what its called..still remotely a newbie, wen i turn..the car shifts the opposite direction..since i changed my wheels..i think (it could be just a feeling) my car sticks more to the ground and well keeps it there.

atleast thts wt it is in my experience..
the point being newayz i dnt think its ghey...245 goes perfectly with the body of my car. looks neat to me .

A wider/bigger setup at the rear compared to the front on an FF car is quite certainly ghey.
Function > Form in my books.

@ lero ... wat TNT i think means is tht since urs is FF thts where the power comes in and if u need more grip thts where the wider tyres shud be .... in a FR the rears have wider tyres cuz thts where the power is distributed from.... u will c alot of AWDs wid smiliar widths ... and some wid wider rears cuz thts the split ratio of 60 : 40 power distribution ... correct me if im wrong tho !

as per my review and wad ive heard around....

SHJ RIMS = WASTE OF MONEY

i have them and the troubles they have given me.. dont ask.. i dont know if all members agree with me.
also the lenso rims your talking about are fakes. The rims in that market are fake.They will rip you off saying lenso, enkei,bbs bla bla.. all crap...
Tell you what.. go to sky rims, ul find ENKEI rims. again fakes.
except if you go deep in shj ind area youll find used orignal rims from japan and so.

sorry if i offend any1 here but just givin my review before some1 screws up their car.

i agree with TNT if hes stating about the power loss ( which i guess is xtremely minimal)
but if its about looking ghey.. i have been in love with these rims.
i agree with tnt its a power loss for a ff.
i like em though :grin:
