Default Ran into a curb...

Me and a curb had a bit of a disagreement tonight. I was driving down a road I drive down every day going the same speed I always go. Suddenly the rear end began to slide one way while my front end wanted to go another. "It was like being in a candle store without a pipe bomb, bad news."
This is what I am going to need:

New rims(dang it needed those anyway)
I am going to take the tires off my now rashed and ruined rims and put aftermarket wheels on. What sizes do I need to order exactly. Any advice on those?
Right Rear suspension is prob screwed.
Tein time?
Not sure about a right front...
Rear Axle/end? is prob done, hurray, anyone know what this is going to cost me?


crappy night

note* When you strip your car for a car audio install. The rear end tends to lighten up more then expected.

Well it'd help if you told me what model you have.

Base/Enthus:

17x7.5 front
17x8.0 rear

Perf/Touring:
18x8.0 all around

Track:
18x8.0 front
18x8.5 rear

if you are going to get aftermarket rims, i dont think you should stay with the stock dimension. Get rims with a more aggresive offset so that the rims will be flush with the fender, and get wider rims. People usually get 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears, or you can get 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears. The offsets you would need depends on what rims you are getting.

Did the same thing to my ride last night ... except i hopped over the curb and hit a fence, causing a lot of paint damage to hatch and rear ... Prob ****ed up a lot of the suspension as well, car is undrivable ...

I'm bringing it to adjuster tomorrow morning ... My question is, how much is the stock suspension ?? I was looking to see if it makes sense to upgrade to Nismo suspension as a result of this mishap??

Ahsmo, how much did they price your factory wheels? Been thinking 'bout upgrading to some J5s.
