Just put 370z 19inch wheels on my Max

Took one for the team and bought some 370z's for my max. Installed them right away. Let me know what you guys think. I know some members on here have an issue about staggered wheels on a front drive car, but I figure its my car, my money so why not. Hopefully you guys can see the pics, first time uploading.

+1. Something just isn't right and its not the drop. With the smaller rubber on the front I think the tire height is off.

Glad you just posted this because was going to get a set. I was hopping that they look better but now not so much. So the fronts are 19x9 and rears 19x10 245 front and 275 rear?? Don't look like it but it should be that way if you went with staggered wheels.

car needs a spoiler.. looks kinda weird without it
rims look pretty good.. i like the look of low offsets. gives the wheels that sunken in look. how much did they run you?

I think the rims off of the '09 Max (e.g. the set 1sik4dsc has) would've looked good, too. I'm curious what they'd look like on a 5th gen...

I think those 370 rims have the potential to look good with a lip kit, and a few other small appearance upgrades to give the car a more aggressive look.

Swap the wheels around and get a drop. Post more pics and we'll see then. This setup can look good, but there's alot left to be done till then.

IMO, they look kinda small, 6th gens can swallow 20" and in some cases(w/ a sick stance) 22" wheels.

rims are sick bro!

only thing is just swap the rims around and you should be good, as for the gap - you could drop the car a bit but I honestly think that once you swap the rims around it will look so much better.

Reverse stagger?? They look different for sure. The 6gens have lines for them, but the wheels are just soo aggressive looking. idk

The funny thing is that you guys would still be ripping him apart had he put the wheels on in the other order. I'm not sure on the specs of the tires up front or in the rear, but this is potentially functional (for traction/acceleration on a track environment).

They look good, but for some reason they look really small? Don't look like 19s

That's the reason staggered wheels are pointless on FWD cars but for those that go for the look of it, they need to do the wide ones in the back to look right. I bet the car handles funny.

Where the hell is the original poster???? We have questions damn it!! lol

Im here, thanks all for your feedback, constructive or not. Anyways I know the fatter tires are up front, I did this intentionally because they were rubbing when I put them in the back. I switched them to the front temporarily so that I dont rub away the tires. I also wanted to see how they would look up front. Not sure but for some reason I think I've seen the newer 5 series beamers with this similar set up so I thought Id try it. (I know my max is not a beamer). So maybe Ill try to get a diff tire size so I can move them to the back again.

Side pick and rear pick looks good because you can't see any wheel gap. Needs wider tires that meet the fenders and lower to remove the wheel gap.
The front shot looks horrible. Wider tires and a drop and its all good. Overall I think the G37 coupe 19" wheels looks best over the 7thgen wheels and 370Z.
