hey guys. so i got myself another 4th gen, number 3 now. and my freind has some extra MB battles laying around. was wondering how they would look like. they are 18x9.5 with 15 offset. any one have MB battles? or other rims around that size?

Too aggressive fitment wise. Don't bother.

whiteSE

iTrader: (2)

well u say that but i was running 16x8 et15 rims on my first maxima. and they were flush in the rear and stuck out a little in the front. i have a fender roller if anything. just wondering if anyone had 18s with that offset.

Measure the car for that size rim with a plumbob, string and measuring tape!

at running 16x8 +15 offset on a lifted max

on topic w/ the thread...WITH A DROP!!!!!!! i'd say do it

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

It's going to stick out an extra inch and a half and look stupid. The design of those wheels isn't going to help any.

But go for it.

phatboislim

iTrader: (27)

chris you dont believe in slammage either....lol IJS...if this guy slams his max on wheels w/ those specs...i'm eager to see it

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

I'm lower than last year lol They'd only look good if we could add negative camber to the rear but that's not possible. An inch and a half poke in the rear and even more up front is retarded.

phatboislim

iTrader: (27)

have you posted pics yet? lol


oh and i want the OP to go for it..i never got to finish up doing mine

MaxiNone

iTrader: (1)

but youre comparing a 8in wide wheel with a 9.5in wide wheel. the 18in wheels are wider and will stick out more. if your car is stock height dont bother, it'll look hidious

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

Not yet lol I'm waiting till the car looks decent enough to take pics.

5th gens can pull off that kind of offset.

4th gen is about to do it too.

ShocknAwe

iTrader: (3)

Im in agreement until I see it. Would have to be really low though and as long as I dont have to bounce around in it then I can support it if it looks good. What offset are most people running on 4th's?

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

For 9.5's maybe around 30 give or take a few. Obviously higher up front.

whiteSE

iTrader: (2)

Ok. Ill mount the rim and tires and go for a test fit. But right now i dont have a
drop yet. Just got the maxipad. Pixels later on this week

*faints*

DAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN thats fire!!!

and '4th gens cant pull it off' because everyone is afraid to do it, i want the OP to break the mold w/ the 4th gens (although i know other 4th gen owners have done it) but 5th gen owners are starting to man up even more and go w/ high offset, wide wheels

phatboislim

iTrader: (27)

here's a word of advise, drop the car first

WesCTR

iTrader: (2)

that's because unfortunately a lot of fourth gen guys are afraid to stretch and go ***** out with stance.

phatboislim

iTrader: (27)

like chris?



lol but yea thats what i was saying...4th genners are in a bubble

ShocknAwe

iTrader: (3)

4th's simply dont look good with it. Out to the fender edge and thats its

nselca2

iTrader: (4)

Im running 17x9 with 25 offset in the front and 17x9.5 with 30 offset in the rear. It looks fine and doesnt rub, I just need more of a drop. But I think a 15 offset is way too low for a max. 24-25 mm should be the lowest you go on the front on a 4th gen.

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

It looks right on 5th gens because of the way the fenders sort of flare. It's nice to have some poke/stretch right under there. On 4th gens it's not as simple and you get that mexiflush look without tons of work. Flush > poke/stretch on 4th gens.

chris is right on the money with this one. Mexi poke ftl

ChrisMan287

Yup. For reference, check out this old post:
http://forums.maxima.org/3333277-post20.html

8.5's up front and 9.5's out back and +35 all around. It looks good, pretty much perfect. The design of those wheels helps because the face of the wheels sit in which look great. Now, imagine the fronts sitting 45mm out and the rears sitting 20mm out from there..

Even with stretched tires and negative camber, the front will probably look stupid cambered out to the max while the rear sits there looking stupid just poked out with no negative camber. The design of the wheels won't help any either.

False.

False again.

Yup, the ChupaCharginChupaCabra is right.

i know there are 4th gen'rs that *** with stance, but most are too scared to run aggressive stance, or even slammed for that matter

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

There comes a point where things get too aggressive and look stupid. This is a clear case of that. Whether the OP is at stock height or slammed, it's gonna look stupid.

VisciousMo

iTrader: (4)

With my 9.5's, I know a +30ish would have been better. But, they only had + 20 in stock and I have coilovers to slam. Plus, my tires will be stretched a little bit.

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

I don't think it's gonna work too well. I know Josh (J2FRESH) was rockin' 9.5 +35 all around with stretch/slam and it looked spot on for aggressiveness. Not overdone or stupid looking at all.

I can't imagine the front/rear sticking out an additional 15mm and looking good but that's just my opinion. If you can pull it off I applaud you. In for results..

Gonna wait for pix, as was said if you can pull it off that would be great

Doughboy89

iTrader: (1)

Damn, now I'm looking at wheels. I want it to look kinda like those 5th gens up higher... and it would be something not seen on a 4th gen, around here anyways

Mr.A32ftw

iTrader: (12)

if he has them laying around, go test fit them and please post pics of how much poke u have. solid rear beam is your enemy trying to pull that offset off

tigersharkdude

iTrader: (20)

did someone order some 4x4 with a side of Mexi-poke?

WesCTR

iTrader: (2)

i think it could possibly work with the proper stretch. a light stretch won't do it.

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

I was thinking 225/40's up front, 215/40's in the rear but it's gonna take more work than just that. For reference, these are the 9.5 +35 all around:



Now imagine a little over half an inch of poke up front and in the rear
