i'm getting 20's for my 02 max do i need to get a big break kit?or will reagular cross drilled or slotted rotors be ok???thanx for ur input...

Thinking maybe I-Rotors if i don't need a big break kit....

its brakes not breaks, and no you wont need a big brake kit if your concerned about brake performance, just get brembo blanks and nice pads

?? why would you need bigger brakes when getting bigger wheels? I dont think your stopping distance will be affected enough for you to have to make that big of an upgrade to your brakes...i could be wrong though!

20s have a substantially larger radius than stock 17s. Therefore, the mass is distributed further from the center of mass (the hub), thus resulting in a greater moment of inertia. This means that more torque is required to turn the wheel for acceleration, and also more torque is required to stop it. So I guess you could say that one might want more powerful brakes when increasing the wheel size so drastically. Then again, if the wheel is lighter than stock, the weight reduction may compensate for the increased moment of inertia. Guess you should put the wheels on first and then test the braking power to see if you notice a difference.

Oh yeah, one more thing: WHY ARE YOU PUTTING 20" WHEELS ON A MAXIMA?!?!? Sorry, just seems like overkill IMHO.

yeah, i agree, but im sure putting the 20s on would not make a substantial amount of difference in braking(<<notice everyone puts the emphasis on BRAKES )
And i'm guessing there arent many 20s that weigh less than our stock wheels...
personally, i wouldnt put 20s on a max, but thats just my opinion..you can do whatever you want...
