stock 17"..planning on putting 20". i have a question though. when people sit on the back seat or even if i just go do some shopping and put the stuff in the trunk, my car gets really low. i was wondering if you guys know what i can change or do so my car will pretty much be more stable in that matter, i mean like not go down so easily, i dont want to put 20s and then put something in the trunk and be rubbing all over. when i said i put something in the trunk is like 5 gallons of milk, 5 gallons of OJ, 4 gallons of apple juice and two boxes of detergent...i mean this is not (IMO) too much. i have a 2005 maxima sl. thank you !! by the way ...23"S ??? Wow !! kewl !!

you're probably being ignored. physics will tell you that when you put weight on a suspension, it lowers. you have 2 options, get a stiffer suspension, or an adjustable suspension.(or dont put stuff in the back)
btw, the guy with 23's is kidding. i know its cool down south, but that's hella-ghetto to do to a FWD car.

so in order to get stiffer i got to go lower huh ?? coilover ?? dunno what that is...will look into that so i become familiar with it..( like i said before..i had cars before...its just the first time i am actually doing mods and stuff, before i just took my car to the mechanic and only when i needed to...so bear with me please guys !! ) well, but how can i know how low to go so i can still put 20s ?? should i just stick with some nice 18s...i dunno...the offset is how far away the center of the rims is into the rim ( sorta :/ ) rite ?? i was told i could have like 245 in the front and 255 in the back...does that sound like it will be ok ?? :attention :attention :attention :attention

I never knew orange would look good on a Max, but looks nice, man! I think the carbon hood makes a nice contrast also.

Can't pass up brand new tired for free. -hehe- Next time, I am going to get the 45 series, but until these wear down, it's 40 series.
