Hi All,

Hello since I’m new to this board.

I want to lower my 2006 Altima 2.5 front only actually I could use a small increase in the back.

I want to equalize the spacing between the wheel and tire to be the same or similar front and rear.

I am running SPYN ZX with Marangoni Mythos in 245/45/18 and the profile of the tire has made it tight in the back (a small bit of rubbing) pics below

Yes I have rolled the lip

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The offset of your rims is wrong.

I have eibache sportlines on mine. I just lowered the front. never got around to lowering the back…handline is slightly better. you feel the bumpers on the road more. its real even between the front and back. dad drove the car and he said he didnt even notice the differnece. its a 1.8 drop, i scarpe when going over speed bumps sometimes.

the prokit dosnt really do much as far as handling. nice lookin drop but you can still see a differnece in the wheel gap.

Hi,

The offset is 40. Which I understand is the max for a 8" rim.
