Down here in Miami and all around South Florida i've seen about 10 or more (no lie, well not all 5th gens)Maximas on dubs, you could clearly tell which are dropped and stock cause the stock still have about an 1 to 2 inch gap with the twankys on. I know some guy that has a new Altima on 20z and its dropped with Eibachs, and theres no rub. He does have low profile tires though.

The best tire size would be 245/30 to most closly match the stock size wheel so ur speedo wont be off. That size is 0.3% off which is the closest ur gonna get with 20's. Perhaps maxspeed springs will work fine, it doesnt lower the car much. A bit over and inch if I remember correctly but still has a nice ride to it.

ACually no 245-35 is fine, and it depends on the offset more than anything,all the max's with 20"s are clearing fine with the normal drops and coilover drops.

Dont get me wrong it will work just robs more power. 245/35 will give a slightly better ride due to the thicker sidewall but when ur speedo sez 60mph, ur goin 62.1 thats 3.5% too slow. Id personally have mine 245/30 with 20's and have my speedo 0.3% too fast then 3.5% too slow. Its all a matter of what the driver wants but I still say the best choice for dubs is the 245/30 is speedo accuracy and keepin power intact.

I just think its alot easier to just get a size nerly equal to stock and not worry about adjusting the speedo. Yeah u can adjust it but id rather just leave it alone this is my .02 on it and thats it. What u stated will aslo work and will offer a better ride to be honest due to the fact ur ridin on more air. The power loss can also be beaten with mods but I just like having more power but if u dont care and just wanna cruise then who cares get whatever size u want. Just wondering but what do u think would be the best offset for 245/35/19? 35mm or 40mm.

Damn dude, no doubt in my mind that ur ride is one of the sickest ive seen period. Very nice setup on everything, especially the hidden deck. Its kinda hard to tell from the pics but do the rims go in flush with the fender if u stand in front of the car and look straight at. Thats what im goin for, Im just more worried about the drop more then anything due to the body kit, I dont wanna scrape it everywere. Once again man sweet ride and thnx 4 more info.

Did that all make sence?

ok....uhh.......so the rim basically is equal to the....hmmm. Ok I think u mean the rims sits just slightly back of the edge of the fender (the one u can see from the outside I think is what u meant) Ok do u mean the outside edge of the fender of the inside edge? I think u mean the inside part but not 100% sure.

Pretty close yeah, basically its flush, but theres a fingernail gap that prevents it from hitting the acual fender(painted) as aposed to the inner fender(black unpainted rubber). Its just that the acual outer fender has that lip that rolls just under and in, thats what it's at.
