I heard that the ride on 18" rims on a 00' or 01' maxima feels like sh*t. I am in the process in getting some rims and tires. What do you guys recommend I get? Like rims and tire size. Thanks

 

18's will ride a little harsher than 17's...for 18" rims you want to get 18" x 8" wide at least and for 17's you want 17" x 8" wide. For tires, you can use 235/45/17 for the 17's or 245/40/18 for the 18's. these sizes will be close to stock...

 

thanks for the info :]

So you would recommend 17" instead of 18"?

 

it's a matter of preference...Do you want better handling instead or a softer ride? The 18's will handle better than the 17's, but the ride may be slightly harsher. Though, the ride with 17's is already a bit stiff..

 

actually on 18" wheels you need a 235/40 instead of a 245/40

 

245/40 is closer to stock overall diameter though....

 

the 245/40 tend to rub sometimes if the car is lowered, for some reason

 

hey rocket...

your car looks tight!!!! what state are you in?

 

oh yeah...rocket, did you lower your car? or is that just stock. your car is off the hook bro

 

Thanks, I am in Tenny(Tennessee). Yup my car has the Eibach prokit springs on it! That was the first mod I did, I can honestly say that the car looks good lowered on factory 17".

 

how much spend on your rims? must of been expensive for 19". don't they rub?

 

HOly spitshine, Batman, my eyes ....the rims are too bright!!!!! ( too bright- is that possible?)

 

Why, yes they are bright! The get brighter and brighter each time you don't tell the truth! Yeah, the did cost a pretty penny, they were somewhere around 690.00 a wheel and 282 a tire. you do the math! No, they don't rub at all and it hapens to be a 19x8.5.
