Anyone on 20s and not lowered?

I wanted to see what Maximas looked like on 20s and not lowered.

HOWEVER, I do realize there is a thread aptly called the Max Wheel thread but sifting through 57 pages does not really strike my fancy.

I would like to get 20s and lower it at some point in the future but I am concerned that it may look stupid if it is not lowered so anyone out there on 20s and not lowered that could share their pictures?

Yay for my first post.

I drive a 2009 Maxima S and I really like it a lot. Replaced my 2005 Saab 9-3 that I loved. It was totaled in a rear-ender.

I have already done that but there is a difference between reality and imagined. I prefer reality if possible

I'm still new on this site and don't get on too much but if you can get to my profile you should be able to see my 2009 S on 20's. I can't seem to add a photo here from my phone. If anyone can tell me how to do that it would be great.

I'm debating myself on what size aftermarket to go with either 18's 19's or 20's I know 19" tires cost more than 20's and I also dont plan on lowering my car currentle

umm, has anyone actually compared sizes on tirerack. changing the diameter doesn't actually appear to alter the image they show with the car, just the price. try it.

i would do it right now to show y'all but i searched for 2010 nissan maxima 3.5 SV and got no matches (even though I got results before)

maybe they are doing maintenance or something because no wheels show up for the max.

Here are some pictures of mine. I do plan on getting a set of Eibachs though. I'll probably get some new wheels with the proper offset to make them flush. Not too keen on spacers.

Anyone else have any input? Im in the same boat but wanting to go with Vossen CV7's and the stillen front lip but I don't want to lower the susupension. I like the ride to much on my SV premium pack.

I am debating with rims what size to go same as you not planning to lower it. Negative I have heard people say is ride quality goes down once you hit 20s but I can't say how true this really is since I dont currently run 20s... Most likely I'll get 20s in the spring with summer tires to run for 6 months out of the year. I don't see how 2in if you go from 18s to 20s would really change that much...

Yea it's subjective. Go with a sticky soft tire and the difference will be minimal.

Yeah once I grab my 20s in spring I'll most likely go with Hankook Ventus V12 summer tires

If i want the softest ride 20's is not an option right? I'm thinking the smallest wheel size + thickest tires is the best ride right?

Soft ride and the Maxima have nothing in common

But yea if you're that concerned with stiffness, I'd stick with the stock wheels.
