That thing looks TIGHT! I don't know about the black part on the hood but the wheels and how the car looks dropped is badass. Do you know what size tires he went with? I'm assuming 245-30-22s. I love how they tuck.

Cool! Thanks. So how it's dropped in those pictures, it doesn't rub? I read that the fenders had to be rolled.

I've seen the silver one a couple times. I'm surprised that I havent seen the white one. I work not too far away from there.

I give him props for actually lowering the white car on big wheels. Most people around this area want there car to sit as high as possible... I still think the wheels are to big though. 19s fit perfect on a 5th gen IMO. 20s can work too, but thats the limit if your just doing wheels and a drop.

example: 19"



And it's pretty flush



Not my car by the way.

The design of the wheels look okay but wayyy too big for a Max.

I agree. Renting for this stuff, especially tires and wheels, you end up paying twice what they're worth. If you save you're money, you can get them on your own. Which means the wheels you buy havent been on somebody elses car, which is a good thing I'd think.

Well, I knew that I wanted 22s and I wanted to lower it but I didn't know how much to drop it (since I'm going to get coilovers) and if it rubbed. Now you gave me hope. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also i've seen a max here in lake park florida on 24's and had the bigger break set up. i personally just dont like the look...and im a look kinda guy and a little go.
He obviously put the turbo in after the wheels to make up for his drop in 1/4 mile time.

Renting rims and wheels? Why not just wait and save up for them? I like how the Nex Coilovers dropped your ride so much. Looks good. Where did you buy them and for how much?

I actually like them alot they ride great no noise at all, and not bouncy. I bought them off of Ebay for around 600 used, a car dealership took them off a trade. and I lucked out. they look like new.
