Got the wheels on, and I'm very happy.
The ride quality is not nearly as harsh as I thought it would be.
Tires are Nitto 555, 255/35/20
The wheels are 20x9 et30
The wheels are slightly inset from the fenders, but would probably rub over bumps if they were flush.
Eibach springs installed.

Those are eibachs? Wow looks lower than usual eibachs. Nice but u didnt get the concavity. U gotta have the concavity. The max can take the low offset concavity.

What do you guys think of these rims on a 2010 Ocean Grey SV? I know they aren't high-end expensive rims but I got a great deal on tires at Discount Tire Direct and saw these and thought they looked nice. Opinions?

I think they look sweet. They'd look good on the ocean gray.

^^There's a few companies that make cheap knock off BBS rims. If they're real good for you, I own some high dollar 3 piece rims for my Cobra. But I doubt you'd be driving on $4k rims in the salt, I sure wouldn't.

That would be almost 1 inch taller than the factory tires.

New to the forum, and I am taking these off today so I figured I would share with you all. Here is the maxima on 20" Onyx 903's. Had them on for a year, just ordered some 22s. I'll post pics once they get mounted on the car.

Since I'm still a fairly new owner (been driving my '14 Max SV for about a month? Maybe) I'm stuck with my stock rims for now. But I have been looking around without much knowledge gained... first lets start with requirements? Is their anything I would need to know or would help in the long run with purchasing wheels & tires? Anything you've learned from experience? That way I learn from your mistakes and don't have to make my own much appreciated.

Also, has anybody used Rent n Roll? I live in Pittsburgh so I'd be talking about the store in Monroeville but I know they're located around the US. Anybody purchase or rent wheels? How was your experience?

Thanks!

235/30 22 ride is about the same as the 20" wheels I had on before. No rubbing with the 235 series either

H&R Altima sedan springs. Ride height is spot on for my taste. The rear settled about 1/2" since the picture.
So now with a full tank or close the tops of all 4 tires are about 1/4" from being even with the fenders.

Ride is about the same as stock, little stiffer, no bottoming out or any problems at all.

Looks really good Racerbox77. Finally got all my goods and will be posting pix soon.

What year Altima did you look at for the H&R Springs? Didn't know they would fit on the Maxima.

I took a chance since nobody has done it before. H&R didn't even know they would fit, I called them first.

Interesting. Thanks for taking the chance... The 1.5 F and 1.2 R looks like it might worth it for me.
Any difficulties with the install? Or was it a direct drop in to where the old suspension was?

It's more like a 2.5" drop.

Here's a before pic of the gap. And now it's almost even with the fenders.

The springs are the same shape and size as the Maxima. I did cut about 3/4 coil from the tops of the rears. They are called dead coils and do nothing for suspension travel. Had to do that to get it perfectly level.

Just picked up a set of Lexani R12

Noob here...
Just wanted to share the link to the video of me unboxing my new wheels that arrived today. My 2010 SV Sport Tech is in the shop being lowered on a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs. I can't wait to get these wheels mounted!
