The car is dropped considerably. I think it's the lack of contrast in the pics and the low angle at which the pic was taken.
You have a black car, black tires, and dark wheel-well = poor contrast
Also, you took the shot from a low angle, so you see the gap more. If you were standing up near the car the gap would look smaller because the fenders would block part of it. I'm sure the drop looks nice in person.

Thanks everyone for the compliments and yeah i think the camera angle has something to do with making it look higher but I would love if it was just slammed. Stillen kit is comming next so that might help. I'll take better pictures tomorrow or in the next few days.

those rims fit look freakin awesome. Did you have to run any spacers or anything with them? The nissan dealer up here says they won't fit because a rwd cars offset is different than the front wheel drive that the maxima has. Nice choice man.

No problems here. I believe they are a 30mm offset. The thing is they are all front wheels off the Coupe but I dont believe that makes a difference because I think that the only difference on the back wheels of the G Coupe is the tires are 245/45 while the front are 225/45. On the inside of the wheel there is a stamp that says "front" so I'm not sure why they would put that either. But they fit fine for me without any spacers. I'll try and get some side shots and better shots in a little bit. Thanks again for the compliments guys.

No they are definitly s-techs. Bought them new, came in an S-Tech box, and are green which I think only s-techs are. But here are some better pictures guys. Sorry for being so large but I dont know how to resize them.

Yeah, those are DEFINITELY s-techs! And the car and the drop look fantastic. Like I said earlier, it was just your picture that was fooling our eyes (black car, black tires, and black wheel well all kinda merging.)
Congrats on the rims!

Hey now you can do the 300ZX BBK without worrying about spacers etc! Also thanks for posting this, not that they don't look nice but it helped me in my decision to stick with my Alessio's and spacers to clear my bbk as I was considering swapping for the G35 coupe wheels! They just don't seem as sport or agressive enough IMO, so thanks again you saved me a bunch of $$$

Car looks nice man. Your foglights look brand new!!! Damn, mine are all road sandblasted. Did you get new ones or clean those somehow? And also, the MAXIMA emblem on your trunklid, what generation is that off of. It looks nice.
Peace

g4nismo: Those are replicas off ebay I believe of my wheels. They aren't OEM like mine so I don't know how good they are and what there quality is like.
Maximaboy: The emblem is off a 2001 SE. I paid $11 bucks for it but thats at dealer cost because I work at an Infiniti dealership. There probably around $20 normally. Just go to your local Nissan dealership and they should have them in stock.

Those wheels are only 7.5" wide and the oem's are 8" I believe. So the next question is what is the offset on the knockoffs?
