How do you post pictures on the site? Got my HP EVOs mounted and installed, shout out to Carson, great rims, they look nice on my Max!!!!! I haven't lowered the rear yet, I like it like it is but I will eventually install the springs.

Good luck

I never really care to post pics in the past, since I like how it looks now I will share with the members.

Mike

 

Thanks Dues!!!

 

Hey I got the pics of my max with her new wheels. I have since tinted the windows, I will update when the sun comes back out. I still need to lower the rear, I will probably do it today.

Mike

 

Looks good Big Mike.

 

Thanks Ramberg!!! After 4 years of ownership I finally modded the car. New suspension, NISMO intake and rims and tires. I'm thinking about a new exhaust for the summer!!!!!

Mike

 

Looking good. Did you lower the car? The wheel gaps look bigger than they ought to be...... I would also consider installing an 07 spoiler

 

I lowered the front with Progress springs and KYB GR2 shocks but the back is stock. I will lower the rear this weekend.

Mike

 

Where abouts are you at VA Beach? I'm down at Ft Story all the time.

 

Your rear is awkwardly high for stock....and your front doesn't looked dropped at all. Looks good though

 

I'm in Virginia Beach, down the street from Oceana Naval base. I'm actually stationed in Norfolk, VA.

Mike

 

Those 18's?

 

The front is dropped on Progress springs, I think the installer failed to cut the bump stop so it is not as low as it could be but I like it. Sometimes I scrape the way it is now so any lower would not be comfortable to me. I still need to install the rear drop springs. I had a VW Jetta slammed to the ground and the ride quality was horrible but it handled great. I do not want to go there again, I like the ride now, any lower or stiffer will be uncomfortable for me as a daily driver.

Mike

 

Looks good.

Cutting the bump stops will not change your ride height at all, it will only make your car less prone to "bottoming out" over big bumps.

 

The tires are 245/40/19 so the rear looked lower on my stock 18" due to the aspect ratio of the tires (245/45/18). I kinda wish I would have got the 45 aspect ratios, the reason I didn't was the speedo would be off a lot and I wanted to stay as close as I could to original radius of the stock wheels and tires.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!

Mike

 

I was there when the installer swapped out my stock suspension, he gave me the original springs back, the original struts were leaking.

Mike

 

hey Big Mike......i like your max....don't come up to hampton and park next to me cause you'd probably get in the wrong car... i'll post a pick soon...you'll see why.
i got 35% tint all around. cops pulled me over and told me i had 27%....what ever got off with a warning but be carefull of what tints you get caose cops in VA are A double S's.

 

Nice Rims!!!

 

I would like to see your car!! In VA you don't get breaks, especially if your are military, there are to many of us here to get a break.

Mike

 

Great Job shipmate... (retired LDO LT 6160)


To bad you're in VA that car would look awesome with 35% tint all around, dark enough to look great, clear enough to drive safe...

 

dang dude, these are some sick rims

 

Thanks Chernmax, 3 more years left to retirement shipmate... Hopefully LCDR LDO 6260..

Mike

 

nice rims. Had these before on my ride. Here is my old sig...

 

^^^^^ Aside from the weight why in the world would you change to the dark grey.

 

rims look really good. and post pics once u drop the rear.

.....5% is better lol but im young i need dark windows for reasons that can not be said

 

They look sick, are 19" and fit a BBK behind it. They are not gray, they are gunmetal. Never looked back at those heavy suckers (HPs), not to mention the MPG improvement, much lighter take offs and better response.....all the goodies that come with lighter rims. Heavy rims are like anchors holding your car. Besides I had a great deal...ahm steal. I don't think anyone on this forum will pass a practically new set of NISMOS for less than ..... just trust me.

 

Are HP's really that heavy, I haven't noticed a change in my MPG, and I really monitor my driving. My daily commute is over 50 miles round trip, I didn't go with chrome because of the added weight. I do like the NISMO rims, they just cost to much for me.

Mike

 

Lookin' good Mike! Post some more pics when you drop the rear.

 

 

Those are some sweet benefits but as far as the looks go.....well to each his own I guess.

 

I had 18x8 and 18x9 in the rear so the weight was on par (rear heavier) with OEM which is heavy by any standards. My 19" rims are around 20Lbs each.

 

No doubt, they look awesome and I love "lippy" rims but hey, I never looked back after switching to NISMOs. Besides, with "staggered" setup I couldn't even rotate, which wasn't really working for me at all.

 

That is why I'm glad I have 19 X 8.5 all around!!!

 

At least the rotation problem is eliminated. Drop her and you'll be good to go.

 

Looks good, let's see those updated pics!!!
