Advice on rim size, thanks

Hey maxima fanatics and enthusiasts. I have a 2014 blue maxima that I got a few months back. She is a beauty with 25k miles. I wanted to drop her on eibachi springs that give 1.3 inch in front and 1.5 drop in the back. I also wanted to put some bigger rims on her as the factory18s are simple for me. But I dont want to put 22s. I'm thinking putting 19s or 20s at most. Would love some feedback guys and gals. Thanks

My wife has a 2009 and it originally had the 19's on it. We live in Mississippi so the roads aren't quite as smooth as most! We ran into problems of having the 19" rims bending. After having 2 of them fixed ($$$), I found a set of factory gun metal 18's at a dealership. A lady had bought a new car and didn't like the gun metal. They swapped them out with some silver rims. Got the 18's at a steal! Much smoother rider and no more bent rims. Just my experience.....

I personally would do 20s at least if I had a 7th gen. I have 19s on my lowered 4th gen...

factory rims are nice I just hate the wheel game u get . The car sits way to high . And wen u go over bumps I feel like I'm in anSUV. I'd love to drop the car , but I dont want suspension in long run. If it's made this way from engineering, I stay stock. The wheels I'd change and go with staggered 19s cause I love the back lip . So far I havnt done anything. Still running fully stock.
