Offsets and Rim Widths for an NX2000
Hey guys,

What is the widest rim I can run on my NX2000? It will be an Autocroos/track car mostly and I would like to get the widest rim/tire under it while maintaining the stock look.

I was looking at a 15x8 with 15mm offset rim and tire set but I dont know what offset would be appropriate. I am NOT going for the "hellaflush" look at all and I want to stay far away from it. I also found a nice 15x7 with 35mm offset that look really good.

Also, can someone point me in the right direction to the correct Koni yellow/Ground Control combo? Suggested spring rates for track days/ autocross? I know there is a thread around here about the "shortened" Koni to provide better shock stroke.

Thanks,

Austin Webb

Without coilovers, or spacers and weird offset, 15x8 is near impossible.
Stick with the 15x7 w/35mm offset its the most stock look without too much of a hassle.

As for the suspension

the nx fender flares allow for a wider rim without the poke a sentra would get. id say 15x8+15.

If you're just having fun, 15X7 et35. The 949's are a nice setup.

If you're trying to win trophies that's a different matter. You're going to need more than wide rims.

shameless threadjac/plug....just buy my progress coilovers and 949s and call it a day.

The NX does have alittle more width in the rear for less"poke" than the std B13,but The front is not much more,if any wider
