Dubz with lowering kit
 
Anyone running 20" rims with a lowering kit. I have the progress Springs springs on my 97 Gle 1.7 /1.5 drop. I bought some 20" alba blazes but havent bought my 245-35-20 series tires. If anyone is running 20's with a lowering kit gimme a holla. Also did u roll your fenders with a baseball bat?:confused:

Re: Dubz with lowering kit
 
I have 20's but I have coilovers lowered about 2". You MUST roll the rear fender because if it does rub it will shred the tires sidewalls, and everybody knows that tires for 20" rims are not cheap at all. I tried to use a bat to roll it but the fender was too thick to do that. So what I did was got my hands on a roto zip with a cutting blade and just cut the extra part of the fender off. The front fenders should already be kinda rolled stock. Hope this helps

why the hell would you want 20" rims. There is absolutly no benifit to haveing such a size. Yes, not even looks. When i see such things i just think, that maxima has been demoted and become.......minima.http://www.honda-acura.net/forums/im...thumbsdown.gif

Who cares what you think about dubs??? Why did you put small a$$ 17's on your ride??? Or maybe you got 17's with big a$$ tires to compensate for the humongous gap??? I think you should sell your "minima" and get a '64 Impala on 13" triple chrome Dayton's since you like such small rims and don't like "demoted" Maxima's!!!

to increase the clearance from imbetween the inside of the fender and the tire. using the bat to bend it out a little bit

Guys, some people like big-a$$ rims. Some people don't. Some people think 20" rims fill in more of the wheel well than smaller rims. Some people know that the fact is bigger rims require lower profile tires and if done properly, they fill absolutely *NO* more wheel well than smaller rims with higher profile tires. If done improperly, they can fill in more wheel well, but totally mess up the speedometer and the ride.

Here's my point: please don't walk into a thread telling people how stupid 20" rims look on a Maxima. Many people think that. I think that. I also think Altezzas look stoopid, but this is not a poll to find out what you think... it's a question to people who have 20's. These guys want to put them on their car, they're gonna do it, no matter what you think. Don't be an as$.

just because people want big wheels thats their preference.. you need lighter smaller rims cuz your car is slower :p
