progress and OEM struts and she rides smooth but on 20's you hear and feel alot of road noise but its a small price to pay to look good

OFCOURSE it is going to be a rough ride after putting on 20"'s!! That is why I only put aftermarket 18" wheels and even with these wheels I lost some of my softness when it had the stock 17's.

Ok, so I got my 255/35/20 falkens on today...everything is good, wheels feel balanced, road noise I can handle...but!!! I get this weird "WAAOOOWWWAAOOOWWW" ringing/singing/whining sound at around 55-65 mph that's LOUD!!! I'm wondering what this could be? I'm wondering if this could be the hub rings I installed also? Any thoughts? Discount tires is giving 2 days to decide what I wanna do w/these tires.

Anyway...my tires scrub when I go over a bump and I have a passenger in the back seat too. Will 245/35/20 fix the problem? Took a while to get used to the road noise, but it doesnt bother me at all now. I probably wont be able to tell the difference unless I ride in a stock maxima.

(also a piece of thread advice, if you are going to blatantly jack a thread at least leave your entire story for a time when you can post new threads and keep your question simple and to the point...)

Speaking of rims, does anyone have a pic of the Nismo 19" rims on the new 2007 Maxima's? I want to get some but would like to see pics first. I was told $550 a piece from my dealer/parts shop. Is that the same price everyone is hearing?

ive seen them as low as 450.00 a piece. I plan on getting some for myself some time this year. I dont think anyone with an 07 has them, or at least claimed and taken pictures.
