The size on the placard inside the driver's door jamb is the one your car left the factory with. Match that, not this table, if they differ; a previous owner may have changed wheels.

Worth knowing about the 2021 Altima

  • Connector. Both front blades use a j-hook connector. A blade of the right length with the wrong connector will not clip on, so check the connector before you buy.
  • LED lighting. The fog light is a sealed LED unit with no user-replaceable bulb. A failure means replacing the assembly.
  • Bulbs. The H11 code applies to halogen headlights; the LED headlights on upper trims are sealed units.
  • Spare. This vehicle carries a compact (temporary) spare.
  • Tire chains. The manual permits chains or cables of SAE Class S (low clearance), on the drive wheels only, fitted to the standard tire size. Chains for this size on Amazon →
  • Tires. The compact spare is a T135/70D16 or T135/90D16, and the manual does not permit chains on 19-inch wheels.
  • Torque. Tighten lug nuts to 83 ft-lbs in a star pattern with a torque wrench, and re-check after the first 50 miles. This figure is from the owner's manual; an impact gun will overshoot it.
  • TPMS. New sensors on this car need a relearn (tool); they will not pair on their own by driving.
  • Key fob. Match the FCC ID (KR5TXN1) printed on the back of your fob when buying a replacement; the same car can use two fob designs in one year. A new fob still needs programming to the car.
  • Key fob. Cars with remote start use a five-button fob, FCC ID KR5TXN4.
  • Dimensions. The figures above are for the 2.5 SV FWD; other body configurations differ in length, wheelbase and weight.
  • Fuel. AWD models hold 16.0 gallons.
