if your offsets are more than 10mm from your stock wheels and a wider barrel, then you will probably want to lower it to prevent the 4x4 look.

How hard is it to lower the car? I know you need to remove the shock assembly compress the shock and install the new one.

I know this is not the "it" brand. But enkei fits perfect and if you do a search, you can find some nice ones if you do some digging. There's a wide cariety of them and can be had for about $1200-1500 a set vs $2800 for volks. Rays are pricey for an FWD ride that is a chillin car. Is it a chillin car? Its just a suggestion though.

If you wanna maintain good performance 18x8 rims are best for the altima. Do not exceed 18x8.5 unless you like tire protrusion. And your drop would be ideal @ 1.2". Again, all suggestions. GL.

Funny you bring that up as I am actually looking at a set of enkei is what I am looking at.

I would do black wheels with a silver lip for your car.
Personally not a fan of all black wheels.
