Hey guys, as some of you already know that i was running 300zx z32 non-turbo 225/55/16.7.5 rims with 45+ offset. The problem with those were that i had to put 1" spacers on the rear to clear and i couldn't lower my car without rolling the fenders.

Now, that i have bought 17" Boss rims. I am running 235/45/17x7.5 with 35+ offset with no spacers AT all. Now i can lower my car without rolling the fenders plus they are the PERFECT FIT.

Just wanted to share what i m up to with my 3rd gen and it might help others with chossing the right wheels. Enjoy the pix

not bad... how hard are those lugnut holes to fit a normal socket into? they look pretty tight. now hurry up and drop that bish! and if you have time i was wondering if you had any sort of closeup shots of the tire in terms of the sidewalls... kinda like this (link) i am thinking about using 235/45/17 on my z also.. with an 8" wheel. but i could try and use 245mm or even 255mm depending what your picture reveals.

o and do me a favor and the idiot that thought it was a good idea to put a black cover over their headlights..... kinda defeats the purpose of being a light, eh?

now that you mention it... i think i might have smoked a little bit of your fist-sized crack rock.

i perceived the stuff inside the missing headlight area to be a reflection off the shell of a black wade cover....... my bad

dude, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gens are the only Maximas i like. i know i'm gonna get killed for this but 4th gen+ are ugly to me. 3rd gens kept the old school import look, and it all went downhill after. 3rd gens get major love here, people come by when i'm parked all the time and give compliments. all of the aftermarket tuning places love me for having the only 3rd gen theyve worked on

It may be awhile before he does anything seeing as the pics are from August. At this pace, we'll see some pics after getting low in April. Joking of course...... I've had a slipping tranny or over a year now........

August 2010 though hes in the future

i bought aftermarket lugnuts but then wen i was installing them, stock ones went in them perfectly. And for the socket i had to use chrome thin ones to go in there but it was pretty easy, no struggling to get out the socket. I will take close up shots tomorrow in the morning.
There are no lights on the intrepid cuz i ordered the new ones which are halo angel eyes, they look pretty kool tho. i bought the car from the guy with busted hood and one busted left headlight, thats all, for 1 grand. its a 2000 ES 3.2L fully loaded. i already fixed it with only like around 500 bucks. i have a running car.

thanks for the offer, could also paint my whole car? :P......and yes thats a flowmaster dual tip 40 series muffler.

thanks
u r right ben. no HLs

r u talking about rims? if u r, then no, they r BOSS alloys.

yea they remind me of these RD's http://www.dcr62.net/Web%20Page%20Pi...g_dynamics.jpg

they look nice!

burhan92SE

nice, they look almost similar...and o ya, they look very good, specially 3rd gen's body style really supports the look of these wheels...

So can that 3rd gen keep up with that Intrepid? Your new shoes are Ole school....

burhan92SE

Hell ya, it can (only VE) keep up with the intrepid stock for stock. Only like 30hp difference but then intrepid is heavier than 3rd gen. Power/weight ratio equals it out. However, i was only talking about auto vs auto and intrepid is Autostick (thats how guys like to pronounce it at dodgeintrepid.net) u can change gears manually or leave it on TCM. Now, if it comes to manual VE vs Manual intrepid (autostick), i would say VE would have better launch but intrepid will catch up quickly and bust it. Again thats for 3.2L intrepid. Now, there is no chance 3rg Moded can even hang with stock intrepid R/T. I didnt race 3rd gen with my intrepid ES but intrepid feels a lil havier but i m sure after some Mods and some useless weight reduction it can be a fast car than 3rd gen.

For the wheels, i like to stay with ole skol style, makes my 3rd gen looks as pure as a rigid import tuner japanese sports car.

so how many cars do you have now?

vg maxima, ve maxima, tbird, mustang, AND intrepid? or did you sell some of the other ones?

burhan92SE

only VE-Auto and Intrepid is left and that red vg brougham....tbird SC, Mustang GT, Cady CTS, VE Manual, Camaro z28 are SOLD. Maybe intrepid will also get sold soon lol....but one thing for sure that VE AUTO is NEVER getting sold....oh and i will take ur requested pics tomorrow.
