Thanks. I've had those wheels on the max since it was new in '03. Figured its time for a change.

Nothing on the rear, and the front is set for -0.5 on the front.

Those wheels arent in the best shape... The tires are worn (rolled on them since '03) and all the wheels are curbed... Plus since they've been on for 5 years its time for a change.

um...the 5th gen maxima has a beam rear axle. Camber change is not possible without physically bending the axle on a machine (or a curb, lol).

Looks good..I thought the S-tech drop was a bit lower in the front though..either you have 35 series tires or the springs have not fully set..how is the ride quality?

I dont think the springs settled fully yet... Riding on a 40 series tire, and the ride is pretty good and decent for what you would expect.

Thanks. I loved the wheels to begin with, and now you can just imagine how I feel about them.
