New RIMS b*tches

got my new rims yo... phat with a phat offset and phat width... boyeeee!










ok, jk, these are 18x10.5 Nismo LM-GT4 with 15+ offset. I like these style of rims... i think they look good. These are going on my friends 240 in the rears but since i had my tires off we decided to see what my car would look like with 18's and too wide of an offset. I locked to locked and there was no rubbing. hmmm. i get fender flares... maybe... lol.

Nice rims/car. They do look a little Mexican sticking out, but it's almost looks decent at the same time.

I tried on the same rims but in Bronze the last time I was at Nissan for some warranty work. They looked sick but I had the same issue in the front- I could almost live with the rear looking like that thou !

boyeee, that offset is wack!! I guess I know I won't be getting anything remotely near +15. I also wanted something that stuck out more, but that man, wow, you got me beat. Maybe a +30/+35 would look nice.

I wonder how far of a offset you could fit on our cars with a 8.5 tire My 19's are 35mm and they are 8 wide and got room to spare. those are some nice wheels.

Did anybody else ever notice that our rear wheels are not centered in the wheel-well? The front is a little off-center, too, but the rear is really bad. Way to go, Nissan.

the last pic is my favorite... my drive way has a wierd incline so it makes the driver side tuck in more. The wheels are crazy and it was really wierd driving my car to reposition it since i only had 1 side on and the other side were my 17's. It looks even crazier in real life. My friends thought it was the sickest thing when they saw the wheel tuck in depicted in the last shot. The rims are super rare though, since you can not get them through Nissan USA. They retail for $600 a wheel and my friend believes there are only 2 pairs of the 10.5 widths in the USA.
Also, the sides are the octane/evo 5 skurts.... I put a poll up 2 weekes ago to see what skirts would looks better with the aero lip and rear and it was almost half and half, but i decided with the evo/octane. I thought they were going to be way lower than the front but since the lip angles down toward the wheel well, it made it flow a little better.

You can go to Ebay and type in "Maxima Projector Headlights." But I don't see why you'd want them. You have an '02 which already has much better-looking HIDs.

The suspension doesn't compress straight up, it gets a lot more noticeable when the car is very low.

You took the words out of my mouth Tripple It does look like the ER34 Monkey from the Blitz drift squad. Give it the same wheels with 30mm offset up front (availible in Japan) and people will think our Maxies are RWD. I wonder how many ricers would actually think tha, I could just see some kid trying to drift a A33 haha.

Nice looking wheels. The tires are stretched a bit too much for my taste though.
