Its somewhere in the 5th gen how to's. But you have to measure car height, put the rear on jack stands. unbolt struts. Loosen the 2 bolts on the center beam. Jack the axle up till its the same height as your ride.. like the wheel gap. tighten those 2 bolts.. bolt up struts.. and ummmm i think thats it
Its suppose to be centered when your done.

Looks great. If you're not rubbing, I have no clue what your secret is...my tires rubbed non-stop when I had my spacers on and now even with them off the right side rubs on extreme bumps and my wheels are much further in than yours. I need to roll my fenders...

Also.. on my old max when u first bought my G wheels they had 245/45/18's and i was rubbing.. i ended up just getting the same size as the front. 225/45/18. Now with the Z wheels Im runnin' a 255/40/18 and it doesn't seem to be rubbing, but i do need to center my rear beam. So try to center it, if that doesn't work. Run a different size

roll em and get rid of that metal bracket part that holds the rear bumper....and then figure out how to make that rear bumper sit flush is the hard part. its that one metal part that sticks out that gets us maxima guys that sit on z rims....i had that problem..

I did it and it didn't help. The rubbing is on both the right and left side...the 245/45 is a little larger in diameter than the 255/40, so it's possible I just need a smaller tire, but I really like the way they fill out the wheel well
I've been trying to find someone to roll them for a decent price, but I can't.....I need to do it soon though, because my tires get cut up if I have people in my back seat and drive over large bumps...

tips though...make sure you heat the fenders up well with a hairdryer....or else the paint will chip.
and to roll it, i use a pvc pipe. others have used bats. take your pick.
