Looks great! The offsets of those wheels really tailor themselves to a newer FWD Nissan like the maxima/I30/I35.

I love those wheels.

H&R's in front and it'll look perfect.

How's the ride?

Nice! Anyone tried putting the FX45 wheels on their car yet? I think its the same lug pattern 5x4.5in. Where do you park your carat night?

The ride is great. Not too rough at all, and handles a lot better. I was consdiering dropping the front, but I don't want to compromise ride quality. If I just drop the front will there be much of a difference in the ride?

Depends how you drop it... If you just switch springs you should be o.k. but if you put in new struts etc. you will be a bit stiffer.

H&R's in front...the difference should be negligible. You'll notice a difference, but I don't think it will be bad at all.

Forget the wheels, your NEIGHBORhood looks really nice. ***Jealous*** I wish our metro area would spread out houses more and stop leaving them two feet apart.

Seriously though, your m45 wheels do look good! I am afraid of 19's on my suspension setup.

Haha...welcome to the South/Southeast.

Money on housing goes a LOT farther here than it does in major metro areas on either coast.

Very nice. A drop would really set your car off.

Those rims look great. I was wondering if those could fit an A32?

I was thinking of some aftermarket rims, but these look slick, especially chromed. Chrome wheels + black car =

did you use spacers? I heard that thses rims have a higher offset then the OEM ones so they tend to be tucked in, but from that picture It doesnt look like it.

Offset is 50mm. Not toooo bad. Much friendlier to 4-6th gen offsets. One could always fit a 5mm spacer if they really wanted to
