Hy guys,

My - EU Spec - Max is sittn on some chrome!
D`Vinci Tuscani 8,5x20 Offset (ET) 25 wrapped in 225/30 Falken tires.

But, holy **** it needs a drop!!! Looks like 4x4.
Next month is go with H&R or Eibach springs, 1.3Inch (35mm) or more, dont know yet.

Enough talk...







Tell what u think!

Best regards,

Robert from Germany

 

the color of the car is nice, but the rims kill it.

 

i like it ok. the style of the wheels is good, but some of the details are off. drop it and you're good.

 

Get coilovers and slam it

 

apart from lowering, the car is pretty clean.Planning on smoking some markers.?

 

Not really feelin those rims,to much chrome or something.Either way,DROP IT.............

 

Definitely needs a drop. Is it just me or are those tires extremely small

 

No i like the clear sidemarkers, the EU Spec had amber sidemarkers.
Thats ugly man...clear ftw.

I saw this rims on a red 6thGen. with LSD... damn at this moment i knew what i want.


Thanks for all comments, i appreciate!

Robert

 

The tires are 225/30.
Should i go bigger?

 

i think they are fine.after dropping you will be partially set.

 

It would look better with a drop, but the wheels are way too gaudy IMHO. If you like em, good .

 

Bling bling.

 

Looks good just needn the drop.

 

Wow another Maxima.org member in Germany. Love the color of your ride, and with a drop it'll look much cleaner.

 

not a huge fan of the wheels

 

The wheels are straight horrible.

The rest of the car looks very nice/very clean.

 

+1 Your wheels are what's wrong with America.

Everything else looks great though!

 

lol

 

nah man go with a big boy lift kit yo.. raise that trick up 3 inches!!!

 

wheel gap like a mother ****** but, it looks nasty lower it and it will be 10x better

 

those are some rubber band freakin tire my man
good luck with that

 

Once you lower it, everyone will start riding nuts like they did with mine.

I got **** like crazy until I put the coilovers on.

 

225s are way narrow on an 8.5" wide rim. That's the same size that came on our stock wheels, which are 7" wide.

I run 235/245 on my 8" wide rims.

I don't care for the rims either, personally. I do like the color of the car, though.

 

nah, your wheels are still ugly, even with the drop

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.


But that doesn't mean a lot of people didn't change their minds or post completely opposite than they did before.

 

I have 225's on my 8.5's and don't have any problems at all.

And I get better gas milage than my 245's did. Surprisingly enough. +2mpg on average, FTW.

 

why is this so difficult, people?

1. Will you have problems with 225s on a 8.5" rim? NO. They are within spec.

2. What is the point of buying a wider rim? So you can use wider tires. Otherwise just buy a 7" wide rims and save some weight and money if you're just gonna use skinny stock-sized tires.

3. What is the point of wider tires? To give you more traction (except in the snow, of course).

4. What is the point of more traction? Well...do I really need to explain?

I will take your point about possible mileage gains due to reduced rolling friction. But 2mpg is a stretch. The physics of it simply don't add up, assuming you are using the same brand/model of tire and the rolling diameter is the same, tire pressures, etc. My mileage is exactly the same with my 225 snow tires and my 245 track tires.

Besides, with those heavy chrome rims, you're actually hurting your mileage compared to a lighter wheel. And BTW, narrower wheels are lighter than wider ones, assuming same brand/model.

 

I'll be the first to admit most rims look better on a lowered car. I was just giving you a hard time since you said that everyone was all up on your jock after you lowered it.

 

now thats hoT!!!

 

rims are terrible.

 

hope your joking....

anytime where you need to get a lift on your sh*tty car in order to get those ugly, heavy *** rims that are worth more than your car....FAIL

 

pshhh whos dropping their car anymore yo!! LIFT THAT DAMN THING UP!!! LOLZ

im joking btw ... hahaha.. thats a clean cutty though

 

You spend way too much time on the internet.

You're WAY too worked up over something that you have no control over.

I use 225's up front to get my camber set perfect so that my wheels are flush with the fenders, and I can still drive.

You, sir... need to quit drinking caffeine, I guess.

Good lord.


FYI, I don't have chrome wheels.

 

The width of your tire has NOTHING to do with your camber. Perhaps you should spend a bit more time online researching how suspensions work, since you're clearly talking out of your ***.

 

what is the camber on my car?
i have 255s in the front and 285s in the back?
can i still drive?
what do you recomend instead of caffeine?

 

I run 255s and I have -2.5* of camber and my wheels still sit flush with the fender. I only run that much camber for the track to help me CORNER, not for looks.

Like irish said why buy wider rims with no intent of taking advantage of it

 

The width of the tire DOES have something to do with how low I am at any given time. A 245/35/20 is adds a considerable amount of meat that a 225/35 doesn't. With a 245, I had to add some negative camber to actually drive it without rubbing.

With a 225, I can adjust back accordingly.

Jesus, this forum is full of keyboard commandos.

Need I post pictures and specs?

 

And what offset are your wheels? Width? There are SO many more degrees of change in there. Just because you think your wheels fit flush, doesn't mean they do.

I don't track my car, I just drive it.

Plain and ****ing simple.

 

camber is the angle of the wheel based of the centerline



because it is based of of the CENTERLINE, width doesnt matter

the reason you think the width has something to do with height is because the second number in a tiresize is a RATIO so with that constant, a larger width will mean that the sidewall is also taller

here is a good place to play with tire sizes

well maybe loud3 should just raise the car a little or roll the fenders and put on a correct size tire...stretching tires in general is fawking retarded...

Or maybe go down in size on the rim...
