The biggest i have seen on a 200sx is 19's... its somwhere in cardomain
if you go to www.sentra.net it says something like 15's are the best but (for perormance) if you are going to get a body kit then i think that you should get 17's. I have 16' konigs myself, but i think 17' is the minimum size you can get so u can lower your car a little with a body kit. later

yea, 19's is the biggest ive seen as well, but that'll KILL performance, not to mention u better have a GOOD suspension for that.....15's would be optimal for performance, but to be honest, 15" rims look ugly.....16's are next inline but with a body kit, they look small, esp. on our b14's with large wheel wells.

just get 22s and get it over with. man, with anything bigger than 17s in a GA powered sentra, you won't be able to get out of your own way.

I have 17" rims and they make the car look real nice. I would go with either 17 or 18" rims.

Based on his plans he is interested mor ein cosmetic's. I say 17's or 18's would make you happy. As for tires I always had good luck with the Yokohama A520's (not sure if they are still around) or the yokohama ES100's are nice as well. Both are reasonably priced.

If you go any bigger than 18's you'll have that fender rub problem, especially when your ride is low...and just imagine the harsh ride..but it'd look good.

Have you seen japanese grand touring championship (JTCC) cars with 18's on them? They have negative camber just to make those big wheels fit!

Thanks alot guys that was a lot of help...well it seems that i should go for 17's. and im wondering what is some good suspencion...i was thinking of getting the tein coil overs but what do u guy think?

tein basics or ss's are both good, the basic's you can't adjust the strut part of it but the ss's you can. basics are around $800-$900 and ss are $1200-$1300. you could also go the kyb agx's with ground control coilovers. and don't forget camber plats, motivation mounts, and bump stops for a complete badass setup. later

I think you should visit the suspension forum and do some reading. ALL of the suspension options are listed there and you can figure out which one suits your needs/budget.
