18x8 or 17x8 ??
Im definetly getting Evo 5's but I just cant decide on 17's or 18's ?? I want performance still but 18's look so dam* sick on a Maxima...I have sprints already so wheelgap isnt an issue..and another reason I dont wanna get 18's is the tires are expensive and there heavy

I just bought some 18 x 7.5's offset 42mm, can't wait for the spring. I too have no money now after buying rims/tires, so I'll be stock height for a bit, it will probably look nasty, but I've got a body kit which should make the car look lower. Or, it could add to the nastiness. Oh well.. we'll see.

Yeah, and your car doesn't look all that bad, however, I have the ionic kit, with the sideskirts that go lower than stillen's, but also will the 18's add to wheel gap, or decrease it some? thanks

No offence, but nothing could look nastier than those hub caps, so i'm sure that your car will look much better regardless, although the drop would finish it off very nicely...

17s are too small these days, matt..
a lot of the 18s are pretty heavy but think of the compromise..
is it better to be a tiny bit faster or look 10 times better
i'll be going with 18s myself... even though roads around here are terrible..
