Replying to: milo57 (Jul 09, 2008 3:21 pm) There are many reasons that manufacturers have disclaimers about aftermarket wheels. But, they have nothing to do with the specific diameter. Those disclaimers usually refer to wheel offset, reliability, etc. Of course, if you put, say, 20" wheels on the car with a tire roughly 1" thick, it would "wreck" the suspension eventually, simply from the rough ride. However, you are referring to factory wheels, not aftermarket, so that qualification is irrelevent here. And, it is possible that the suspensions could be tuned differently, one for more of a sporty ride, the other for a more cushioned ride. Therefore, the sport suspension would generally have a lower sidewall ratio tire (50, 55 or 60 series) and a larger wheel, to lessen the sidewall "flex" when cornering. In the end, the difference between a 16" to 17" wheel should not cause any reliability or safety issues, but it may indeed have an effect on the ride which you may or may not notice. Also, depending on the tire size, it could potentially have an effect on the speedo calibration....the dealer should be able to answer that question for you. In the end, if you find some aftermarket wheels that you like and wish to buy, it shouldn't be an issue if they are quality wheels and not significantly different from the factory wheels....Good Luck! |

I just purchased a 2008 2.5 SL. Does anyone know if any companies sell custom fit trunk liners for this car. I'm looking for a waterproof liner with raised edges similar to Husky liners for SUVs. I'm not looking for a mat. Thanks!

I'm in an 08 Altima 2.5S. I love the car but I've noticed what sounds like a valve rattle or tap especially when it's cold out or it's been sitting for a few days. Is this a valve clearance adjustment? Is it covered under warranty? Anyone have a clue?

I was curious to find out from anyone who has one if the optional wind deflector you can get put on the altima and maxima moonroof really is worth the money and does it really reduce wind noise???? I really like the look of them and think they are sporty looking but I don't want to get one put on if it doesn't help wind noise and in fact makes it worse; any information would be greatly helpful!!!
