My maxima with new shoes (22's) FinallY!
 
I've been posting here for a few months asking questions and what not and finally got my wheels that i've been talking about. Some may think that they are ugly but I like em. Oh and i put a 07 rear bumper on my 06 with little modification. Looks a 1000x better IMO. Here it is:

Let me know what you think. I know I need a drop in the front!

slvrmax7 Sep 16, 2007 10:49 PM

Damnnn those look huge man! nice choice and post when dropped

kronickz Sep 17, 2007 09:38 AM

thanks, I will. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Eibach springs since they have the best ride and drop pretty low in the front. The rear is almost tucking so I don't even really need to drop it.

I've been having second thoughts though, I have an opportunity to have a 2001 BMW 330CI Sports Coupe or this. I would sell the 22's and get some staggered 19's with a slammed drop if I got the 330ci. Dunno though, maybe some feedback?

I'm a BMW fan, so I would go with the 330CI, but others will have different opinions. Go with whatever you want.

Well count on getting your butt handed to you if you race a Maxima in a 330CI. Count on expensive repairs & upgrades if needed. Rear seating is smaller and overall car feels alot smaller. Less visability.

Other than the aforementioned a better car than the Maxima.

D'MaX04 Sep 17, 2007 11:35 AM

nice work on the 22's, good choice :D how do they feel? cuz i have 22s also but they start shaking when im over 50mph.. Oh yea, how much did it cost you to convert the back bumper?

gorgeousyvette Sep 17, 2007 12:02 PM

honestly i think those rims look too sporty and more nicer on an altima..but her to each is own right.ill give it to you tho they are 22's :)...and the bumper is badass and why dont you think of doing the sideskirts i think it would look tight

thanks, umm the ride is a little bumpier because I got 22x8's but it's nothing too bad. As for the rear bumper, I got hit so I bought a 07 bumper and put it on. You have to make a couple of custom brackets underneath but that's it.

yeah the rims are a little sporty but I like em. I think i'm gonna do a new front bumper before I get any side skirts. I have the oem ones on there now.

So basically you JUST bought them now it was a waste of money because you want a new car? you wont get all your dough back so that kinda sucks. It looks good but it looks too big for me.

I will probably end up keeping the max, it was just a jester. But thanks for the compliment

eK9aT10pSi Sep 17, 2007 09:30 PM

what did you do to get the rear 07 bumper to fit? any good back shots of your car?

I think the 07 bumper is straight bolt-on. no mods needed to have it on.

gorgeousyvette Sep 18, 2007 08:38 AM

yeah kronickz and if your going to put a front bumper pick a sporty looking one to match the rims..just my opinion and idk if you have a spoiler on it already but you should set one on their too..it would look nice..i guess bit by bit huh..but tight work..

farzin1 Sep 18, 2007 12:19 PM

damn dude, 22's?? you must have money... looks pretty nice.

Maximus2007 Sep 19, 2007 06:43 PM

Any rubbing with those wheels??

maximak1d Sep 20, 2007 09:53 PM

looks nice

kronickz Sep 24, 2007 11:12 AM

no rubbing now, there was a little rub against the inner fender lining but after the 1st day it stops. I was thinking about painting them white and leaving the chrome lip but dunno yet.

turbodub Sep 25, 2007 06:39 AM

car looks good, i love that style!

chernmax Sep 25, 2007 08:38 AM

Looks great, sure is a steep hill you're parked on!!!

jimmypronet Sep 25, 2007 09:55 AM

You dont have to have money in order to get 22's thats why you have "credit cards" :spin:

LMAO that's pretty funny coolmax.

Ok, a bit too ghetto for me, but hey to each his own right? Personally, I can think of ALOT better mods to spend my $$jack on than 22" wheels and tires but again, go with what makes ya happy man!

kronickz Sep 26, 2007 09:56 AM

should I paint them white to match the car and leave the lip?

BMWHIGH1 Sep 26, 2007 10:05 AM

Nice shoes did they set you back a pretty penny

jsmithsole Sep 26, 2007 10:16 AM

What mod did you have to do to the rear bumper? I have mine sitting in the garage just waiting for paint....

kronickz Sep 29, 2007 07:01 AM

I just made a few custom brackets underneath and the mud flap things don't fit on there perfectly like the 06 rear bumper.

rlopez77530 Oct 3, 2007 06:57 PM

you my need some hub rings because i had 22 and had no problem with shaking

IHAVEA2KMAXIMA Oct 3, 2007 07:03 PM

how heavy are they?

MiSteR Pr3z1deNT Oct 20, 2007 07:47 PM

hey i got a max and im really thinking of putting 22z on it. but i was thinking of 22x8.5. will i get a rubbing issue?

LandsEnd Oct 20, 2007 08:29 PM

That must be 1 very bone jarring ride. Look out pothole!!!:eek:

Grats on a smart move. ;)

GrimMax Oct 21, 2007 07:40 PM

They look really good on the Max...

But I recommend not lowering with 22's. Its damn near a perfect fit. One of my buddies had 22's and Eibachs. 2 months later, the weight cracked all of his rotors. I would upgrade the shocks when you get the chance. They look good bro

kronickz Oct 21, 2007 08:00 PM

thanks for the compliments. I have 22x8's only have a little rubbing on the fender lining when I turn all the way but it's no biggie. I believe you can get 22x9.5's without any rubbing issues. Oh, you need to roll your rear fenders too.

Dunno exacly how much the wheels weigh but they are pretty heavy

Yeah, the 330CI just got a tune up at BMW and a fresh paint job but I think i'm gonna stick with the maxima

Domestic Violence Oct 22, 2007 03:10 PM

love the wheels and bumper, looks sweet

kronickz Oct 22, 2007 09:22 PM

thanks, i'm waiting on the led taillights to come out and i'm getting the new mesh grille they have. Maybe try to fab the 07 front bumper to fit. Is there a reason the 07 bumper doesn't fit? I looked an 07 today and my car it it looked like it would have but dunno.

kronickz Oct 22, 2007 10:13 PM

actually, I think I may go with some 20" staggered Sevas wheels that are silver with a chrome lip and lower it now. Dunno why. I saw it on a newer Lexus GS and it looked soooo clean.
