HEY GUYS IM REALLY LOVING THESE RIMS RIGHT HERE AND I WANT TO PUT THEM ON MY 5.5.... THE ONLY THING IS THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WOULD FIT ON MY CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS??.....PEOPLE SAY YOU SHOULDNT DO STAGGERED ON A FRNT WHEEL DRIVE CAR, IS THAT TRUE?

HOW DO YOU GUYS THINK THEY GONNA LOOK????



OH YEA IM DROPPED A PROGRESS SPRINGS?



Bolt pattern : 5 x 114.3

Size : 18 x 8(front) & 18 x 9(rear)

Offset : 38mm(front) & 38mm(rear)

Lip size : 2.5" (front) & 3" (rear)

Finish : Hyper Silver With Machined Polished lip

 

Nice wheels. That mesh style fits the Maxima well.

Staggered setups are dumb on FWD cars IMHO. Increases understeer and reduces tire life by losing the ability to rotate.

Deep dish wheels look great, but keep 'em even. Or buy a RWD car

 

Check out the classified, I think somes has a set of similar wheels for sales.

Please turn off your caps lock, its like you are shouting.

 

why not staggered?

 

It's gonna look good ..

 

Those are like the HP EVOs. Go for it.

 

Uh... that's kinda my car.

 

Is this what you're looking for?
I like it, and my car is also black.

 

it probably is i got the pic off of cardomain.....lol....thats crazy my car looks the exact same way but dropped on progress springs

 

thanks for the photoshop...im lovin it...now the only thing is should i go staggered

 

if only there was a dedicated wheel forum....that would be awesome

 

 

nothing wrong with staggered... its not optimal but my car handles very well staggered setup.... disadvantage is the no-rotation thing

 

Staggered set-ups are for RWD (mostly high HP) cars.
The whole idea is to have a larger contact patch in order to get power to the ground.
Staggered on a FWD car is pointless IMHO.

 

it is pointless for the most part.... but there isn't really any real disadvantage except monetary wise. Non-staggered would be better unless you are crazy for the big rear lip lol

 

my Z wheels for auto-x are staggered...larger ones go up front

 

Hey Jason, I have the 18" track wheels, you think I could rotate them so the wider ones are up front too? I think it would work no?

 

its only 1/2in difference so it should be ok. mine are the 17s and work just fine

 

That's what I was thinking.

hold up....your name is jason too??

 

 

how did i not know that




only whoring this thread because it shouldnt be here to begin with

 

Go witha staggered set up man... The stance will look nice and give a nice aggressive look. Like Lex said the only downside to running this set up is you can't rotate.

Get em!!!

Oh... make sure you get the right sizes too. I am running 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear witha 40mm offset. No problems and my car is low...

 

Ha, you guys have dumb names!

-Jason

 

THOSE ARE THE SAME RIMS i purchased...i purchased the RPM version though...Silver finish, with a polished lip.....i GOT the 19 inch rims though

 

17 x 9s with 255s FTW




I'm getting HP evos for daily driving soon!

 

those are rpm...how do you like them how does it look?

 

Staggered FTG.

Only read the portion of staggered vs adding spacers on an A33 chassis etc is what you need to do read/comprehend in order to keep away from a staggered set-up.

Also, what size tire do you plan on wrapping them in? BTW, they look heavy, how much do thy weigh?

 

so as of your post you are saying that staggered means the offset is different. How about since my wheels are 18x8.5 front 38offset and 18x9.5 rear 38 offset you would not regard this as staggered?

 

Staggered is different widths, looks like my post has a typo.

In order to get the front wheels flush with the fender and the flush with the rear wheels, without having a staggered set-up, spacers need to be used. That was my point.
