Why put the 18s back on? The hell with them, your car looks great as it is with the 19s, leave it be.

i had my 18s for a while..but thanks!

i got a custom clutch made by my shop. 8 puck Fiber Tough(it's like Kevlar, only it grips better) with stock-heavy pressure plate. stock-heavy is only about 10% stiffer than your original pressure plate. my pedal pressure is almost stock..but grips better..
but i still have to break it in more. only put on 110miles since i got my car back with the new clutch. sheez..

yah...19's are heavy, i think that for the street 18's should be the highest Rim size to go, after that , its only for looks. so its a good idea to put the 19's on shows and stuff cuz your car looks HOTT

keep up man

Does upgrading from stock clutch to performance clutch helps improve the wheel HP? I know the 02 Maxima is losing like 55 hp at the wheels, that's a big loss. will the performance clutch help put more hp at the wheels? will anything help to put more of those 255 hp to the wheels? I know the RSX got 200hp and it outputs like close to 180 to the wheels, that's only 20hp loss compare to our 02 maximas where we loss 55. Any ideas? anyone?
