Question about rims

got a 93 altima and i was couriouse about what the largest rim size i could put on there? and how wide? i dont want it to rub and i dont want to have to modify ne thing. i was hoping for 19s but i want to know what yall think. and do u have ne sugestions where i can get some cheap rims at? and i want to go with a Z rated tire is that a waste of money? or worth the extra cash?

id say go with 18s with a 215/40 tire that way you wont get no rub, but you can go with 19s with a 215/35 tire

I would recommend nothing bigger than 17s. You can fit bigger but there is no point because bigger is not better unless you want to look like a rapper's car which isn't a good look for an import.

Dude, WTF? Who started the trend of big rims? Rappers. Anything bigger is IMO pointless on an import.

Don't you have to lower it more to get it closer to the ground since it raises the car 1.5". Anyway I should have said in the first place it was my opinion. My view comes from the tuner side, yours is from the car show side.

i know...RAPPERS didnt create anything, they just snag it first when it drops and if u got the money then get it...hell every race rides on 20's these days....even bin laden rides on 20 inch humps haha

True, but it would be harder to win with the extra rotational mass. I would put the lightest wheels with the most width.

honestly i just dont see the point in small wheels thats for racing on a car that never see's the track or a GOOD street race, in car shows. take the car to the street damn. leave car shows for show cars and cars working on show status.
