Got these mounted yesterday
Falken sceptor 19X8.5 40offset on stock tires
i chose to stay with the 19" wheels, because roads in and around Boston are terrible. I got them for $400 mounted balanced with new lugs and hub centric rings

Thanks! It only took me over a year to find the wheels I wanted... ugh. 19x9 with +40 offset (being safe on the offset since I drive the snot out of my car around corners). All wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 255/40ZR-19 summer rubber. Should handle like a dream after these get on the car

looking to throw these on my black max, falken tires prob, dont know if i should go 20x8.5 or 20x10, if someone could PS these on a black max thatd be awesome, i also dont know how heavy these are and i dont want them to slow me down, what do you guys think?

a) I think you're going to have some clearance issues with the frame, suspension components and fenders (when the wheel is turned full left to lock or full right to lock)
b) The car is going to tram-line like hell
c) Much more unsprung weight to slow down or speed up with
Just a few things to consider man. Will it look sick? Absolutely. But... need to consider the Pros AND Cons of a wheel/tire setup like this.

Everyone wants to change their wheels to something different. I think you should stick with the stock 19's unless you can afford to buy lighter wheels. Adding 15lbs per wheel adds 60lbs extra and you will feel it and with the width your talking...I think it would take much of the performace handling and ride that you've liked when you purchased the car.
Worth the $2,000.....No, there is many other things you could do with that money to make you car unique. But then again each is to his own.
I have the 19's stock from nissan and they are some what light and look great on the 7th gen. As for the rubber....can't wait until 35k miles to purchase some BF's or Mich.
Either way can't wait to see what you do!!

do it. 8.5 front. 10 in back. lexani can be ordered in varying offsets so it should fit fine.
go here to see them on your car.

i like the mht black better than the vellano vsi's, both have a good chrome lip but im looking for like an 8-10 spoke rather than a 5 like the lexani's i posted, i appreciate u taking time to find some for me though thank you, and if im not mistaken mht might be kinda pricey no? i looked at villano VSP and VTC both real nice, not sure how much those are gonna weigh tho, not to mention my cars dropped 1.2 in the back, 1.5 in the front, gotta make sure these bad boys will fit, esp if i put spacers in ugh decisionsss

I agree 5 stars on this generation Max is not ideal, too much brake pad showing. People remember this is a sedan not a true sports car no matter how much they advertise it.
