They are 18 X 8 SSR Integrals with 245/40/18 Kumhos. Steering response and over all handaling are much improved. The rims weigh 19.5 lbs each, with the heavy tires (26 lb's) they weigh a total of 46 lb's. My stock 17's were 52 lb's each so these are a bit lighter.
What do you guy's think of them?

You know, like 2 donuts only one has a bigger hole in the middle. 235/45-17 has more rubber than a 235/40-18, but there is 1" more wheel. In this case there is more rubber because it's a 245/40 so the overall diameter is greater than stock. I didn't know 245's could fit ok because noone seems to recommend it--they all go 215/55-16, 235/45-17, 235/40-18, 235/35-19.

245's fit perfectly fine on a 5th gen, 255 would probably even work. 5th gen's have some sort of tire stopper on them that only allows the wheels to be turned a certain distance(much less then a 4th gen). Thats why 5th gen's turning radius is so large and big tires fit.

Bro, people on stangnet and altima.net were talking smack about maxima's, (2002's to be specific) so I told them about you, and your times, and how you would gladly race them and hand them their @sses if they wanted a peice of the Maxima!
I hope its cool wit you, I told them you are the type who won't back down.

btw, do you have a straight up frontal or rear shot? I'd like to see how the stance is with the wider tires.
The stock potenza's look so skinny.

Thanks, I'll get the picture up on Wednesday. My car is incredibly dirty, what with the brake dust and all.

. Had to say, I'm just busting thugh 
I would consider a big brake kit but I don't know if any will fit with my stock 17's(winter setup)? Maybe Willowood(s?). No more mods for a little while probably, I am going to try to enjoy things how that are.Ok Kevin.

your car is so clean. Everyday i see those ugly stock tailights on the 2k2s and just shudder, but yours are beautiful.
SSR's and Racing Hart don't seem to be a very popular wheel and i like it that way... keep up the great work, and dont stop modding. you are pioneering things and going different routes, please keep it up.
