did a test fit with the rear wheels to see if spacers would be needed.
(19x10 +15, wheel measures 11.5" wide from most inner point to most outer point) ...pics below
forgot about the "failbolt" on the front and didn't have my socket set with me so didnt test the fronts (19x9 +25) but pretty sure they would need spacers.
I know not uber aggressive but what spacer sizes do you guys think?

Nice attempt at being funny. you need more practice. I'll give you an B for the effort. Not quite A quality. Both sets of wheels on my altima are flush, i actually buy my rims with the correct offsets, I don't believe in spacers.

Why? That all goes away on the first stop.

Also, the location of the wheel changes entirely when it's dropped down and put under load. That 12mm fail bolt in the front can almost be unscrewed with your fingers. A pair of pliers would make little work of it.

tried unscrewing the fail bolt with my fingers but its seized. only tool i had was the lug tool, probably could have banged it a little to see if it came loose but didnt bother. Thanks though.
