How will unlowered 17's look
I have a 96 maxima with 15's. If i get unlowered 17's, will the fender gap look the same as the 2k and up maximas with the 17 inch wheels?

When I went from 15" to 17" with out a drop the wheel gap looked even worse. It was an illusion or course because I kept the same tire diameter. It still for some reason looked more pronounced.
It should not deter you from getting the 17". We all can't do everything at once.
I am now on Eibach/Tokico and it looks real smooth. To me a Max/I30 with rims and a drop make it look like a whole different car. IMO.

No it will ot look like a 2k2 with 17" wheels.

Ditto for me as well - I had the same impression when I tried my 17's unlowered. Aesthetically, the 15's looked better with the stock ride height, IMO.

is the blue max in those pics an auto? it looks like an auto with a manual shift boot. I drove in a manual max before and it seemed to me like the shifter cutout was wider than the one in the pics. And he only has 2 pedals...

if your car is light colored, it'll look much worse b/c the wheel well is dark and stands out!
