Looks great! I have always been a fan of those wheels. I would have ran a stagger in the back those 19x9.5s have a huge lip! Anyhow they look great a perfect match for your car.

Those rims and the HP EVOs match the sharp lines of the 6th gen. With a drop, you're done.

Looks hot.

Looks VERY good to me. Aggressive and sporty, but not ghetto like the 20"+ rims.

Looks good! So those are 8.5 wide all the way around? How many inches of lip on those wheels. Looks like 2" from the pic.

So did you have to change the offset since you went with the 19s? Stock is 40mm, right?

I like them also...me I would've gotten them bigger like 19s or 20 at the most if they make that size...the car is too big for those to me....i'd go 19 or 20, but the whole thing looks good

Oh, you're sitting on Eibachs.

Ah, well...still looks good, despite the awkward stance.

Thanks, I wish it was a little lower. I would switch to Tein Coilovers but I dont have the cash. I might switch to progress springs later on if I see more pics of the drop. Not sure if its more even than the Eibachs.

I forgot to mention in the PM, if you drive an 03 and its dropped you might have rubbing problems. Dont quote me on that. Just saying because our max can fit 22s so I knew I had some room for wider tires.

I like it, but you need a G35 rear spoiler on that thing! It would finish off the look nicely.

I use to want the rear spoiler but ive grown to love my oem lip spoiler. The rear of the 6th gen is big and the lip is just enough for it IMO. Thanks

Very nice. Now I can get a better look at some 19's on the 6th gen. The Supermesh in black is very hot too.

You've got good taste in rims, they look perfect on your Max! I'd have to say yours is one of my fav 5th gens. I also like how the mufflers look on there. Post some pics of the front end when its done! I like how everything is clean and simple, keep up the good work.

Wow, some credit from a 3rd gen. You have a nice car BTW. The 6th gen is definately different but Ive grown to love it over time. The bodyshop has been puttin off painting the front so Its going in this Monday. Il have new pics once the front gets repainted. I also painted my calipers which look great. Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Front bumper. After I lowered the car a while back it rolled into a pothole when I let off the brake and I was already close to the parking stop thing. Had the front repainted twice and its chipped really bad. Plus it didnt match well. Hopefully this time they get it right or else Il find a new shop.
