EDIT: Daytime pics have now been added - scroll down
Woohoo! Finally (finally finally finally....been sitting in my basement since February) put the 19's on tonight, along with my Street Scenes grille (figured out how to remove the bumper finally)

The wheels are Axis Illuminati 19 x 8.5 and the tires are Falken GRB-451 245/40/19. Lowered on Tein H.Tech/Illuminas. NO rubbing. Night pics so far, day pics will be added tomorrow. I'm in love with this freaking car....big shouts to Ola (nupe500) for the help today, very much appreciated friend!







Proud to be a member of the dubs minus one club!!!!

nice.....but dont forget to post daytime pics

Nice but may i suggest some AE headlights...they would look 100times better

nice, how heavy are the rims?

Will do man, gotta wait for the whole earth rotating thing to happen though, was about 8:15 when we finished up, best I can do for now...can't wait til the sun comes up!

By the way, dunno if I told you but I'm really diggin' your new wheels, very sharp!

Nice max. I want to see daytime pics too though.

Don't know - rims with tires weighed in at 52 lbs.

Headlights will be my next mod....most likely 2k2's so I can see potholes better at night Will consider the AE ones if the bank account dries up (which, considering I'm getting engaged in June, is quite possible!!)

thanks.......

My pleasure Chris...u know how we roll...

Those things look huge! I guess its because the spokes come the whole way to the edge or something.

you dont have to buy AE headlights you can jsut buy flat black paint and do them yourself

why did you get 40 series tires on 19" rims? I think it looks bad like that...the tires look WAY to big and not clean looking.......but its your car...

im with rob

what tire size did you use?

40 series tire is bit too high of side wall....but other than that...nice setup! Cant wait to get my rims on now to join the 19" club...

thinking of selling my rims seprately. i've posted my vehicle in the 'maxima's forsale/wanted' forum. check it out if any of you guys are intrested.

I purchased 40 series tires on the 19" wheels because I live in Philadelphia. Not exactly sure where that ranks on the 'worst potholes in the world' list, but I can almost guarantee it's in the top 10.

If I was spending a couple grand on wheels and tires, I figured I'd go with the extra half inch of sidewall and give myself a little extra peace of mind. Not that I'll be aiming at potholes, but sometimes it just happens - Philly sucks

Thanks for the comments and criticisms, both are much appreciated - I just shot daytime pics (well, 7AM pics, but it's light out) - as soon as I get home from work they'll be posted.

Philly does suck..and in all honest...the tires and rims look way better in person...they don't look outta place at all. The only thing I was worried about was maybe slight rubbing in the rear...Ccx...any issues with that yet? (check yer tires)

THey make that car Look soo............much better...btw don't forget to post the before pic...goober!

Car looks sick bro... nice job-I like the wheel choice

Naw, no issues with the rubbing man, even over the large dips on 76 this morning everything seemed and sounded just fine - i still may roll up that inner lip on the rear just for peace of mind, though.

if you get the AE ones, get them from www.1001headlights.com
cheapest place i found when i bought mine - $235

Daytime shots:

How dark is your tint? Oh and I'm with you on the 40s, living in PA is unreal. Every day I drive 20 minutes out of my way to school just to miss a large amount of potholes in the city. People from out of state wouldn't understand why a 40 series makes sense. Of course I still went with a 35 cause it looks better.

Chris,

Nice daytime pics...man...it actually looks really good!!

Nice! ....I wasn't sure how'd they look on a 5th gen, knowing the looked sweet on Nick's 4th gen.....they look like dubs

Eh those are ok..I'm not too found of big rims, I hear they are bad on the brakes n suspension..I read about that too..

Hamy...40 just looks silly...

So does driving around with bent wheels

Hamy, the tint is 20% semi-reflective.

those wheels are hideous.

..

The wheels look good but now the car looks like it sits up too high. I think your next mod should be a stillen body kit.

My thoughts exactly! Hope I can afford to get it before the summer's over or else it'll have to wait until next spring when its warm out again (i've got something against doing any kind of 'looks' mods in the winter) - but I was juts thinking the same thing yesterday.."damn...i need a kit"

looks good man...
nice dare plate...thats the only thing good about PA

Get a real body kit and not a stinky lip

Too bad there aren't more body kits out for 5th gen maximas..
