22s

Hello! 22s should fit just fine, with several width options to choose from. The offset for our 6thgen maxima is "High". My first set of 22s that where applied on my 05 maxima where 22x8, an the fit was perfect with no rubbing. I had them for about 3 months, then upgraded to 22x8.5, which fit great also. So you definitely have option of either 22x8,22x8.5,22x9 and 22x9.5. But the wider you go, there will have to be some possible fender rolling which isn't a bad idea even if you don't have 22s. I currently have 22x8.5 wheels with custom Koni Adj. Front struts, KyB Agx Adj. Shocks in the rear, steel braided brake lines, RSB, Intrax Lowering Kit which drop the front @ 2.25 inches & modified rear Intrax springs to drop the rear @ a whopping 2 inches. There's also brake & engine modification to give my car a comfortable/ performance edge. So to sum everything up in a nut shell, if you go with bigger wheels & Tires, upgrade the suspension and engine components for better performance if possible. Plus these 22s in the photo are for sale if your interested, only 2 1/2 months old and there in great condition.

22s & Compatible Lowering Kits

I have a 06 Maxima added 22x8.5 rims to my car a couple of months ago. No rubbing what so ever. Since this is my first car and I don't know stuff about suspension... I don't know what lowering kit I should get...Any help....[/QUOTE]

Hello! There's @ least 4 to 5 Lowering kits to modify our
Maxima's suspension, it all depends on what appearance
your trying to capture. My opinion is to definitely upgrade
your suspension if you can when choosing Larger Wheels
& Tires, even if there not 22s. But back to the lowering
kits that are design for our Maxima's, I currently have the
Intrax Lowering kit that drops the vehicle in the front @
2.25 inches and the rear @ 1.5 inches. But my rear springs
have been modified to drop the vehicle well over 2 inches
in the back, an that's only because I have upgraded to
Adjustable KYB AGX shocks & Adjustable Koni Struts in the
front. So I can go from luxury ride to stiff street performance
with just a few clicks of a ****. So here's a few kits that
you could choose from: (1)Eibach (2) Progress (3)Intrax
(4) Sprint (5) H&R , Etc...........

Fastmax05! What's up? I really appreciate your comment a lot. The Front grill I made myself, It's actually a Cadillac Cts grille that I modified to fit my O5 Maxima. It's definitely unique, came up with the idea a few months back.

Yeah man that is hot!! I think ive seen that on cardomain if I recall.

The only thing about 22's is that eventually the rotors might crack (depending on how you drive). I had a buddy who had 22's and he cracked all 4 rotors. He tried to race alot. But I dont think the OEM rotors and stuff can support it??? But 22's do really set off the Max. And finally they are rappin' about Maxima's!!! We are comin up!!! Move out the way 300!! lolol

My Fusion Onyx wheels bolt pattern is 5x114.3 & the offset is 38, I've done so many upgrades to enhance my suspension. An trust me, my ride drives "EXCELLENT", with so modification here & there. OH! An to answer your question whether the Cadillac CTS grille was a pain in the rear to modify, the answer is "Not really", just a tad bit time consuming to get it perfect just the way I like. I hope you guys don't mine me posting about 6 to 7 pics below. It's basically showing the process of shaping the grill to fit my Max.

Here's how the grill looks currently, still working on it to make it top notch for car shows in the near future.

Custom front bumper

Thanks! Max5, I modified the front bumper with thin sheet metal, rivets, fiberglass and then light bondo, It's the O.E.M bumper customized. Very strong bumper, took me a whole weekend to complete , lots of body work. But the results are definitely worth it in thee end. Take a look below:

Being Unique

Thanks! Your opinion is very much appreciated. Fastmax05, as long as I'm not following the Status-Quo like everyone else, I'll continuing doing what comes natural, an that's being creative & being myself which is unique in itself. I'll be shaving everything off the vehicle in a couple of weeks include the side view mirrors and adding small hot rod/concept mirrors. That's thee ultimate goal is to design the appearance to look concept. OH! Before I forget your ride looks good, definitely keep up great work you've done so far. And the Cadillac emblem was just to show that it was a actually Cadi Cts Grille, but trust me it was eliminated several months back, I just occasionally show it in pics to confirm that it's legitimate. Later on.................

04BlackMaxx! I appreciate your comment, the grille is actually pretty easy to construct with a couple days of patients & time. Below is how it look before & after it was done. An the bumper is being replace next week with a new fiberglass custom bumper from Bodykitz.org. An once I receive that bumper, I will fabricate or modify the lower section & the fog lights to be unique from thee other guys that have the same bumper here on maxima.org &
6thgenmaxima.org. The mouth @ the bottom is considered small, but serves it 's purpose and looks a lot bigger in person. Again thanks for the comment!








This is the bumper that should be arriving next week, that I will modify.
