I have an '03 Altima 3.5SE. Just curious if anybody has 19" wheels on their Altima. I'm thinking about getting some, but I don't know if they will rub if I lower the car too. Thinking about 1.3" Eibach lowering springs. Looks like 245/35/19's spec out at 25.75" diameter, while stockers are 215/55/17 and they are 26.31" in diameter. Should fit, but will they rub?? Please add links to pictures if you have them.
Here's mine:
245/35/ZR19" Toyo Proxes sitting on
Axis Super Mesh II's (19x8" +40et)...24.9 lbs with out tires.
Lowered on Eibach Sportlines....no rub whatsoever!

Thanks for the pics. Your car looks good. Did you get the FZ4 or the T-1 tires? I love the FZ4's, but I priced some 18's and they were $276 ea. That hurts. How much did you pay for yours?
the 19's look sweet, but I'd never attempt that in the Chicagoland area!! We're the home of the gloriously large pothole, and perpetual road construction.
It must be nice to live in an area where an XTerra isn't the most practical vehicle

Oh, North Texas has it's fair share of pot holes...believe me!
Especially the Dallas/Ft. Worth areas where I do most
of my driving. I'm just extra careful...
Nice photo's. There's plenty of guys at work that have 19's & 20's on their 2002 Altima's. Doesn't seem to rub at all. They have changed out the grilles, as well, with billet grilles.
However, we start producing the 2004's this week, and Nissan has added a few different colors, for those models. One, being a gun metal gray, with a type of flake in the paint. Also, the interior of the Altima is changing, from a plastic type material, to much more leather. They want a slick look, moreso than a material look. Nissan is changing the grille, on the Altima, also. I'm assuming they are going with something close to the Maxima & Sentra. Alot more chorme is going to be added to it, as well. Mainly in the trim area, and dash area. The shifter will be completely chrome, like the Maxima's. Typical options will be 18 inch rims, 8 speaker sound system, spoiler, etc. etc. etc.
We also start trial runs on the 2005 Altima, in 2 weeks.
We just changed everything over, last night. As of now, I didn't see anything drastic at all. I will have to check out the specs, over on the engine like, when I have a chance. But, rumors are that a "Spec-V" type, much like the Sentra, is in the works for the Altima.
Also, looks like Canton will recieve a huge chunck of our Altima's, come next year. Another rumor on the floor, says we will be producing the Infiniti G35 this time, in a couple of years.
WOW! Nice to have some knowledge back on the forums! NNA, do you know if Nissan has/ or has plans to fix the problems with the Mass Airflow Sensor on the VQ35 plant? Many of us have experienced problems with it failing after adding aftermarket intakes.
