a few questions.

I have a few questions. when i got my maxima it had the 350z wheels already installed on the car. i am not sure if they have spacers on the car. i also seem to notice that the car does not have much body roll compared to my friends 2002 maxima se. i have also found that his gauges are white where as mine are a titianium(sp?) color. so here are the questions;

What do the factory 2002 maxima se gauges look like?
how do i figure out if my car has spacers on it?
how much body roll does the 02 se have from the factory?

1.) They are the titanium faced gauges. White is aftermarket. These are the stock gauges (minus the rings):



2.) You can see the spacers in between the wheel and the hub. Post pictures. The Z wheels have a lower offset than your stock wheels which means they will be pushed out toward the fender (good)

3.) You can't really qualitatively describe it, but they do have a decent amount. Look at your springs or measure your ride height to see if they're the same as your friend's car.

ahhh i see. next time he is in town i will have to check his out. i know that from driving my car it doesnt have a whole lot of body roll. my wifes sentra has more body roll then my maxima does. i mean i have heard people who say that before doing suspension stuff that they couldnt take most ramps off/onto the highway at 60 mph. i can take a ramp on or off the highway for the most part at about 80 with no problems.

how do i figure out if my car has spacers on it?
you dont have spacers. i have the same Z wheels and they stick out further than my stock wheels.

how much body roll does the 02 se have from the factory?

honestly...how are we supposed to answer that?
is there an RSB on the car? thats the main thing that could effect body roll
