Before I go back to the tuner shop, let me ask my fellow drivers this question.!!
Has anyone ever ran a set of tires on different wheel offsets on a Y2K max or any other max?
Example, I want to get 18x8 inch rims w/40mm offset (235/45/18) (Volk AV3's) on the front and 18x8.5 inch rims w/ 42mm offset (245/45/18 or 245/40/18) on the back (Volk AV3's).
Although the car will pull from the front wheels, I can see their's a little more wheel-well space in the rear, so i want to just widen the track a tad. Other than uneven tire wear (Not worried!!) will I experience bad aligment, other problems, etc.....?
Also, I'm going to probibly use the H&R springs to lower the car slightly because the stillen aero kit has been ordered and without the car being lowered, the wheel-well gap will look funny with the kit on it. I want it to look flush fitted. Give me your opinions, quickly!! Any pictures are also welcome... Thanks teammates!

i ran 18x8 40 offset on a 99 and h&r springs with no problem whatsoever. I think the 2k body style has more room than the 4th gen but im not sure of that.

You got the wrong tire sizes. 235/40/18 in front and 245/35/18z in the rear is that is the size UR trying to run.. as far as problems. I don't think U'll have any, Heavy rim/tire set though so it might hurt your speed. wanna look at a picture. Take a look at the Maxima on peters (GR8GBONE) sig. I think it'll look like that with H&R Springs and 18inch rims. I just had H&R put in 2 days ago in my car. Gap is front if larger then rear, but they'll settle. I'll take pics when I wash the car.
