advice: if youre trying to stretch tires, go for wheels at least 8 inches wide or more. 7 and 7.5 are hard to make look good, and find tires for

[low.slow.celi]

go 9 or 9.5 wide and not bigger than a 17, slam it into the ground

how much are you looking to spend on wheels?

[medievalb16]

So 17's that are at least 9 inches wide ok got that.. but for wheels ima have to save up for em from now so im open for suggestions but i want bulky looking wheels thatll make the car look aggressive. Ima be getting the car painted a matte' black and would like gold wheels to go with it and with an aggressive stance. but not so much poke prolly flush with the fender

[medievalb16]

Ok well I have always been fond of the Gramlights 57PRO wheels and was wondering if those rims 17x9 with a +25 offset would look pretty nice. If they dont sit flush enough than i can always get wheel spacers but rather wouldnt like too. Any suggestions??

I strongly disagree that 18" is too big.

You can do a 225/35 18 that is shorter than stock, or a 225/40 18 that is the correct overall diameter, and use a 9" or 9.5" to stretch it a little bit, allowing flush, or nearly flush fitment.

17" isn't a bad idea, but you'd have to run substantially shorter tires than optimal to get away from a chunky tire look that isn't flattering with a stretch.

Lower your car first, so that you can see how much wheel gap you have, and how much ground clearance remains, and know how much room you have for wheels.

[medievalb16]

So go low first before buying rims ? Thought it was the other way around lol

[runningpanda]

Just do your thing, man. What do you want to come first, low or wheels?

[medievalb16]

Rather have both but with this car I want to go right the first time thats why im asking so many questions lol dont want to show up to a simply clean meet or hellaflush meet and look like a fool ya know

[medievalb16]

and im new to this and would like to gain as much knowledge as possible cause im from a sentra site and they dont know jack shit bout wheel fitments and stuff bout this car so thats why i came here lol this is my new home for awhile

Lower your car first.

[runningpanda]

Yeah man, no reason to not ask questions. It's definitely a good thing.
I would say lower first, because I feel, personally stanceworks has been more about the low life than the wheel life.
I'm hella sunk on 14's with huge amounts of meat around my wheels, but I'll still show up to meets because low is the lifestyle to me.

[medievalb16]

Yea low is to me too... had a 94 accord with coils on them and dropped them all the way... LOVED it lol, so i guess ima try investing in some coilovers than... got smoeone selling a set for me so hopefully i can save fast enough to get them from him if not than i guess im SOL

[runningpanda]

Nah, you can find deals here and there. Never consider yourself SOL man. You can always cut dem sprangs. That's what I did hahaha

Lower your car first.

What Hotsauce said.

There's is a very logical reason to lower your car first: you know what your clearances will be.

If you're shooting for a specific fitment, you need to know how much room you're going to have so you can do it right the first time. Your coilovers may change how much room you have on the inside, your fender clearance will change both inside and outside, you will be able to see if where your tire will hit when you steer, and you'll see how much ground clearance you have left, all of which play a role in determining what the optimal wheel and tire combination is.

Work smart, not hard.

edit: and don't cut your springs, that's just stupid.

[runningpanda]

Haha yeah cutting your springs is bad for most, I guess. I haven't had a single issue, the car even rides really well still and nothing's blown up on me. So I'll continue to be the
Don't call it stupid, though. Just say you would recommend never doing it for your opinions.
