Finally dropped!

Was on the fence whether or not I liked the Maxima enough to keep it more than a year... until the coilovers went on!

Very nice and clean. If you add spacers in the rear, it will look flush and have wider stance. The good thing about your wheels, you can rotate them since they're not staggered.

The ride is a little bouncy, but seems to have gotten much better since the install. Also, I couldn't bring myself to put staggered rims on a FWD car

When you get a chance can you take a picture from behind to see how flush the rear wheel is in the fender? I'm up in the air what I want to do as far as wheels go and thinking of the same set up

Very nice, if my max wasn't my daily driver I would drop it like a bad CVT!

Nicest wheel/drop setup I've seen on a 7th gen maxima. So perfect. Very subtle.

Looks sick on Coils! The drop gives the max an even tougher look.

lol why do people hate on staggered rims on a FWD car so much? none of us are tracking this thing and most aren't pushing the car hard enough to notice the understeer. also just to note with same size tires on front/back i have 0 understeer the car handles better than stock.

car looks great though man, i wish i could do coils on my DD but id probably have already scraped off my oil or CVT fluid pan

Thanks GHOZT, personally on both Max's I have had a staggered setup and the looks offset... The bit of under steer, with the strut and sway, and Eibach... It's a completely different feel and look...most of do mods for looks, and looks Notorious gets is ridiculous.... That's why I am staggered... Literally lol

I've gotten tickets or been pulled over enough in my previous vehicles that it is just not worth it anymore... but I also told my wife 9 months ago when I bought it "I will keep this one stock"

Ghozt, why are u so against nice fitting wheels? It does make a big difference.

Not sure why u r so against it. the a35 chasis has a lot of room and looks excellent when that space is utilized.

everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

why is anyone not "caring" about my opinion so important to you ? That really seems
to be very important to you.

I just champion what I myself thinks looks good. It's an opinion and an opinion I express
with my own car and wheels.

Please leave the OP's original posting intact and let him enjoy his nice low A35. Geeze.

Good looking wheels but I would add spacers to push the wheels out just a little

Of course the first snow of the year happens within a week of lowering it... it gets around fine once the roads are plowed though!
