New rims and tire finally!!!

Sup fellas,

I finally got my rims and tire that i've been researching forever. LoL... I really did not wanna go chrome and i definitely got what i wanted. So i figure i'll post some pics and see what you guys think.

These are the TSW Snetterton silver w/ mirror lip 20x8.5, 35mm offset and 1.5" lip. I really do like these rims, makes my car look fast without it moving, LoL.

For tires i got the TOYO Proxes4 245/35/20R. I love the way these tires ride. If you push on them hard with your fingers they are slightly soft and rubbery. I remember someone on this forum said that "35's would right like you riding on rails", all i gotta say if this is what riding on rails is i love it! On bumps you don't feel the rough ride, but you do feel the holes a lot more than stock of course. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for some good all season performance tires. It's really hard to do burnouts with these tires cause they hookup so dam good, LoL...

I definitely see a drop coming soon...

They look good. I personally would not buy aftermarket rims because I prefer the oem look, but if you like it, those are nice.

Hey fellas, I am about to change tires - I currently have Goodyear Eagles on, but I don't think I would buy new ones, they wear down a bit quicker than most other tires. I was told about Nexen. I am thinking of getting the Nexen N7000 series. Anyone have these or know anyone with these tires on their 04 SE ? Would like to know about tire noise, wear and ride.

Hey bro, they go just right with the color of your car. I hear TSW makes a high quality wheel.

Hey what's good Ramberg? Yea i know i gotta do the drop... LoL But now i'm in a dilemma. It's like half the people been telling me to go with progress and half been saying go with Eibach's. I check out both sites and the Progress give you 1.5" in the front and .75 in the rear. Eibach's gives you 2" in the front and .8" in the rear a bit more than Progress... So which do you guys think is better? I think i need to start a pollin thread for this one

FastMax.
Do you have any full side pics of your car on H&R's. Also, have you rode in a car with Progress springs. If so, how do they compare to H&Rs? I now have a 6th gen.
Not to hijack the thread. I am also in the market for springs and have had H&R's on my 4th gen for 5 yrs.

hey everyone. I'm thinking to get some rims I would like to see what you guys opinions are about it. I'm thinking Tenzo Type M black or balck with red stripe on a white SL tinted windows. I like the staggered look here are the wheels. http://www.elementwheels.com/proddet...emv11910blkred

Does any one know what size tire for 22" wheels to fit 2006 Maxima?

Does any one know what size tire for 22" wheels to fit 2006 Maxima? I am looking to put some on and I am unsure what size tires. I know it can be done at stock height, just not sure on the tires.
-Thanks-Djmonteshaker
