happy friday

 

Thanks to 2009maxima sv-sport for the help. Eibach drop coming soon.

 

Is +45mm too high of an offset for an 8.5" wide wheel? I'm looking at 20 and 22 inch wheels. I'm worried that the wheel will sit too far inside the wheel well and look silly. Will likely use 245mm tires. Any thoughts?

 

imo yea its too high. but you could just use spacers.to make it 40 or 35

 

Concerned about rubbing though. What would be good, then? 40mm? 35 too low? Out of curiosity, what width/offset are your wheels, and also what tire size?

Thanks

 

I have 245/30/22 22x8.5 +35 offset. front rubs a little when i hit a dip too fast. no rub in back. but i like how they are flush with the fenders so im glad i got this offset.

 

Looks Good!

 

Where exactly is it rubbing? on the inside? Is it bad enough to show noticeable damage on the tire?

Thanks

 

i think on the inner fender lip. no damage, its very minor.

 

Anyone have a setup with a 9" wide wheel, 40mm offset, on a 255 tire? Need go determine if that'll rub. What do you all think?

 

Anybody have BBS wheels on their 7th gen?

 

I have 22x9 +38 offset in front with 255/30/22, and they rub a little. I did have to modify the inside fender well. Before i had this set my previous set was 22x8.5 +38 with 245/30/22 and it was perfect, very slight rub, with no modifications.

 

With the 22x9s and 255s, what exactly did you have to modify? This is a used set that I'm looking at, so I have the option to get 245/30/22 size tires put on them, but I'd only be willing to spend that if it would mean no rubbing. Do you think the 22x9s with 245s would rub?

 

I have the following setup on my 11' Max:
20” x 8.5” Marcello MT-02 in Magnesium Black w/ Machined Lip
Continental 255/35/ZR20
Eibach Lowering Springs
The front tires just barely make it by the inner wheel well when you turn the wheel all the way. I think the 22" with 255 have a higher center of gravity and that might be why they rub a little.

 

Your ride looks great!!! I like the setup!

 

Debating on whether or not to try on a set of Foose Speedsters I have laying around... They are 20's in chrome... I'd have to buy lugs to use them... Im not a huge fan of a five star wheel on these cars. What do you all think?

 

agreed not a big fan of the 5 star

 

^ choice89's Maxima is proof that a 5 spoke design DOES work for the 7th gen Maxima.

 

it CAN work, doesn't usually, and even choice89's dont really sell me on the 5 star, i think 8-10 spokes is a beaut for these cars

 

wow i really like this. Very classy yet sporty

 

If sticking with a 19, what's the best size (width wise) front and rear and correct offset to have them not sit so tucked under the car?

Was figuring 19x8.5 +35mm up front and 19x9.5 +40 out back.

Lowered with an Eibach pro kit.

 

Real classy and sexy as f#ck!!!

 

I wish....

 

It's all up to your taste 5 spoke 8 spoke.....I think they all look good.....customize it to what you want and roll with it!!! I CONSTANTLY get comments on how the rims set my MAX off!!! Everyone at the dealership drools when I pull up in the MAX!!!

 

Can you fit a 20x10 on the back of these cars? At stock ride height...

 

Thinking about doing the 20" Giovanna Kilis. 20x8.5 in the front with 35mm offset and a 20x10 in the back if it'll fit but not sure on the offset...

 

True...i get nothing but complements. Especially at the dealer and random passer by's, on here is the only time i get people saying that they HATE my wheels. Oh well...doesnt matter.

 

What offset are you running?

 

Got the wheels ordered. Went with 20" TSW Nurburgring's. Machined/gunmetal in color. I'll post pics when they're on.

 

What do you about this look? I've got mixed feelings.

Wow all you people with your nice rims and wheels and all I have is stock crap. I'll upgrade someday.

 

Maybe a bit too tuner looking for the car, in my opinion.


To each his own though!

 

Love the stockies...

 

Stock 19's are good but Nissan missed the boat when it came to the offset on them.

 

i wish they put 19s on all sv's but had a smoke grey or gun metal finish on the sport package 19s.

 

Your right (I think--not sure what a tuner look is). I saw those HREs in the "pushing the envelope" post with the silver/bronse mix (on the BMW) and liked it.

I know it's been asked before - anyone know the specs on the stock 18's. It may be a pretty light wheel.

 

Tuner, like would look better on a lowered civic/integra/dsm car.

 

Finally got my 20" TSW Nurburgring's on tonight. 255/35/20 Falken rubber.

I'll get the car cleaned up and take better pics this weekend. Eibach Pro kit on order...

 

@ACWS6 Duude they look awesome!!
