18" motegi racing ff7 wheels





any thoughts???

 

Brilliant rims and color, but she needs a drop.

 

looks good. but a drop would definitely give them a better look.

 

thanks

 

I approve. Get some wheel spacers for the rear and lower the car.

Edit. Save up money for suspension

 

I cant stress this enough...

DROP BEFORE WHEELS!

I have never seen a set of wheels other than stock that a maxima can pull off on stock suspension. Maximas look sexy with factory wheels and a drop, but at stock height on 18s with a small sidewall, it looks like a 300lb guy wearing size 4 shoes...

By the way, dont take this the wrong way. I'm not trying to discourage you. You have a clean platform to start with, your modifications just have to compliment each other. And I'm sorry, but these wheels don't compliment this ride height in a good way.

 

Agreed. Drop>Wheels

 

sorry but never dropped a car before never needed to but dang after a second thought i never realized how high our stock height is and oh yea the spacers for the rear is a must im looking for that as we speak

 

but say i did wanna lower it i already have new struts and shocks sensatracs in front and kyb gr2s in rear how would i go about dropping just new springs? and wat amount of drop (how many inches)?

 

The wheels look good but would look better with a drop.

 

Nice but she would really appreciate a drop

 

for those of u who dont know how to read can u please look at post #9 and help a fellow maxima brother out

 

If I were you, I'd do Eibach.
On sale, too. It's not much of a drop, but from what I've seen on other cars it will make a world of difference in appearance.

 

so wat size drop do u guys recommend ive been looking and i see 1.4" front/1.3" rear then i see some that are 1.8" front/rear and 2.0" front/rear wat do u guys think is appropraite ive never lowered a car before?

 

i sayy the lower the better!

 

i agree, lowering a car is the very first thing i do when i get a new car to play with (even if it was a kia rio i would find a way to lower it). the wheels are ok, but it may look better if the car was lowered (i know i'm #58 that has mentioned that)...

 

Check out the 5th gen suspension thread for some basic information on lowering your Maxima.

 

Meh, I'm a fan of getting the most expensive thing out of the way first.

If everything was new then I don't mind the order he's going, anywhoo.....

Nice start... Now work on that drop, there's plenty of conflicting info here to help you make a decision, have fun....

 

yea u r so i dont see the point of repeating it but ok and no one so far has answered any of my questions thanks

 

thanks

 

actually all my suspension is new except for the springs i did that when i first got the car- struts, strut mounts, shocks, shock mounts, inner and outer tie rods, ball joints, and stabilizer links so all i need is the springs

 

All you need to buy now is new springs. Wheels look good.

 

thanks looking into that now, how many inches is ur max dropped?

 

According to his sig he has Tein S-techs which are 2.2" drop in the front and 1.6" drop in the rear.
