So I finally got them!!! (pics)

I dont have any good pics yet, but here are some cameraphone shots of my max with her new 17 inch Moda R6 wheels:

I went with P225/45HR-17 Bridgestone Potenza G009 SL. Over the last 2 days I have felt a HUGE diffrence this tire/wheel package. Very satisfied

Got them from Tirerack. Couldnt find them anywhere else. You have the 18's right? I wanted to go 18 but think it would have been a bad move living in NYC. The potenza's are awesome!!

Thanks Red92MaxSE

Thanks 4dscPat. The paint does have its dings and what not, but the car still looks ok.

Yes the car is lowered Maxima-4DSC. I have the Eibach/Tokico setup.

Looks nice!

Did they have 235/45-17 available? They would have been closer to the stock size.

Yeah, but IIRC, that wide of a tire would rub the wheel wells...
(but don't quote me - I think it's all in the suspension setup)

Not sure of the stock rim weight, but the moda's are 25.5

Lordrandal - I didnt go with the 235's because I wasnt sure if they would rub? Is my spedo off now?

That actually has more to do with the offset of the wheel.

What is the width and offset of the wheels 94M@X?

Thanks, I didnt think they would work on a 3rd gen max either being as they are usually seen on German cars. But once I saw them on awsm66's max I was hooked.
