Ok, here is the deal,

I have 20" rims on my 5th gen and I just dropped it with tokico illumina suspension and vogtland springs.... problem is the SLIGHTEST bump and my rear left tire hits something hard! But it's only that tire! The other side has never ever hit!?! The offset on the rear is 20 and the front is 10 is that a problem since it's a staggered off set? I am just looking for suggestions because it's so slammed I can't even drive anywhere now....

 

You could try those rubber spring stops (or whatever they are called) they sell at PepBoys. It is basically a piece of rubber you place in between the coils of the rear springs to keep it from compressing to much.

 

I remember that you have to trim little piece off the rear left fender, when people installed G35 rims.

 

Its The Rear Passenger Side Isint It...

 

If So Its Possibe That The Gas Tank Filler Tube Were You Put The Gas Nozzle In To Fuel Up, Might Be Rubbing The Top Edge Of The Tire My Cousin Had That Problem...

 

the real problem is 20s on a maxima (that is dropped!!)
what did you expect?

 

So Is When People Try To Type In All Caps. Like This.

 

Are you a pimp?

 

 

Brooke...marry me.

(This is my contribution to the thread)

 

Wow Arnold......... She's trying to get help !

Not more troubles!!! I'm just kidding with you. BRO!

 

No I am definately no pimp that's for sure! Sorry can't marry you honey because I work too much we'd never see each other... anyways guys thanks for any ideas ya might have its just frustrating to hear it hit. I think since it's only the rear right side that something may be wrong with my axel or frame??? I may just have to put my rear stock springs back on...

 

I know what do you mean!

Girl I pulled your pics ...

Cool car!!!!!

 

u need to shave off a bit where the bodypanel meets the rear bumper on the inner well... it sticks out a bit and thats where the rub is... just run your hand along the fender and you will feel it...

 

I can cook* and clean the house**.














*Buy more mods
**Clean the car

 

hahaha, ya you're blingin now with your 20's DAWG!! why 20's!?!? too look stupid? hmmm..get 24's next time and lower it more, then u'd deff b pimpin..neways shouldn't u b washin the dishes not rollin on 20's?



hahaha jus messin

kinda

 

Definately. The suspension was designed for 17s and 16s and you decided to go 3-4 inches bigger, slam it, and didn't expect problems? Funny thread. We should have a special part of the forums for all these threads lately. "I put 30 inch rims on my max, dropped it 4 inches, and it rides poor now?". "My tranny died! I only ran 150 shot of nitrous through it!"

My suggestion is to get STOCK size rims and not drop it to the ground

Mark

 

There pimp wheels soonerfan.Not for the Max.

 

Great post moron. I wouldn't drop the car more than an 1.5" with 20's.

Edit: Your car looks hot, and you are beautiful.

 

i agree...thought you were talking to me

 

what does the bump soudn like it... is it like a scratching sound??? if it is, it's the little piece of the fender that stick in....prob hitting that...idunno

 

Those offsets are wrong, should be more like 35-40mm, recheck the offsets and it may require a rolling of the rear fenders....

 

Holy, some of you sounds like immature elementary school children. Grow up!

As for your rubbing issues, you're most likely rubbing the fender where the fender curves in. Your offsets are way off. They should be no lower than 35mm's, or else you'll be asking for trouble.

I have 19's and tend to rub the rear passenger side fender much more than I do the rear drivers side. All I can suggest is getting your fenders rolled.

 

OFFSET. Even with 17's you're gonna rub if the rims are a 20 and 10 offset. The max offset you can really run on the back without rubbing is MAYBE 30, but more likely about 35. How far out are those rims sticking out from the wheel wells????

 

How wide are those 20s? You can't be running 20s w/ 10mm offset.

 

Gettin bigger/huge rims only makes the car peform poor and doesn't even look good. I'd stick with 17's or 18's at most.

 

i had the same problem. my problem was on the rear passenger side. tire would rub against the lip where the rear bumper is connected to the car. had to beat it in a lil. try cleaning in there really good, put some tire shine on the tires and go for a short drive. see where the tire shine rubs off to see where its rubbing.
hope this helps,

Here is the answer!!!

Get some airbags!!! Masa (don't know if you know him) had the same problem with his Lexus he dropped it with 20's and his front tires where rubbing..he got airbags instead and it solved the problem....I don't know what was rubbing....and even if airbags would help....but it would look sick to see a max with air bags....hehehehe

 

ummmm, i have air bags..... still had the problem.

 

holy shiot, she is fine. i need a girl like her.

 

Thanks so much for the help. I rolled my fenders before I ever put the 20's on. I will take ya'lls suggestions and try them out tomorrow! I will let you know who's ideas worked! Thanks again for all the concern and input! -MG

 

What rims are look better 01 or 02-03

 

hehe, thats why i went w/ bags.... raise it up high while cruisin....

 

Do you have a close up pic of the way the rims sit before the drop? Mine was on 20's for a week and everyone that seen it said it looked kind of funny. Which made no sense because the rims were stolen off the car!

 

The only pics I have are on my website www.cardomain.com/id/themaximagirl
Yeah they do look funny on 20's because the front sits higher and the back is low when they have stock suspension. Plus they are so high they look like they are going four-wheelin. It looks much better now that it is dropped but makes that damn noise!
