02 Max with 19" G35C rims

Just installed eibach springs up front with 05 19" G35 Coupe rims. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

I have always wanted to do that. It looks great. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get the setup for?

I paid $1500 CDN for rims, tires and tire pressure sensors. I didn't drop the rear because of the tire size out back (245/40/19). I was afraid of rubbing issues. I also don't want to drop too low as I use the car for business, I just couldn't stand the front wheel gap any longer!

By the way Whazzzzuup your car looks crazy nice, I actually use it as my desktop background.

Thanks TripleG, they are super smooth on the highway. Kinda feels like stock but more tight up front with the eibach's. I'll post some more pics today. Thanks for all the compliments, any other suggestions to clean up the Max a bit more?

I really need a good set of Infiniti wheels for my max...I think going with those is much more classy than some cheap aftermarket rip-off....any ideas where I can get a set?

Hey Mirag I just hung around the classified section on the G forums until I found a set ( www.g35.ca ). This is a Canadian site as well which made things even more easier for me. Good luck finding a set. HTH.

Well I'm honored to join the poseur club. They are indeed the RE050A's (staggered of course) and I must say they are saweet. With the mild drop up front I think it looks good, no more mods for now gotta wait till the house is finished being built but after that it's on!

I took the rims off yesterday due to snow. These things were like skiis! Wintersports are now back on but I do have a few new pictures. I'll upload them when I have some time.

Yeah, I don't think they stand out THAT much but we all see things differently. Got my first compliment from an older guy driving a Jaguar at the gas station yesterday. These rims are sweet!

For sure, these clear the brembo's on the G35 Coupe so I'm pretty sure they'll easily clear 300zx calipers. I think there is a stickied thread about this in the wheel/tire section. Good luck!

Wrong. These are forged wheels and only weigh 20 lbs each.

20lbs a rim is still heavy for 19's? OK, if oem's are too heavy why are you rockin' the oem 02's now or the oem 04's earlier? Maybe I'm missing something? Do you have a set of lighter 19's? I'm not bashing I'm just setting the record straight!

Yeah, those 18's are light weight. All in all 20lbs for a 19" rim is good enough for me any day. I like the way your Max looks, got any newer pics with the new 18's?

The offset is 30 in the front and 33 in the rear. 19x8 rims up front and 19x8.5 in the rear. Once you get pics of your car with the new rims post em up, I'd love to see how it looks. You've obviously put alot of work into your car!
