o.k im hardly on this part of the forum and this might of been done already... but basically im trying to see the fitment of a 10.5" wheel on a maxima.... post em and whatever fender work you had to do... thx in advance

 

ppppfffttt 10.5's would look insane i cant wait to see some.....and i thought my 9.5's were pretty wide!

 

a 9 wide negative offset takes more fender work to fit than a 11 wide wheel that is a +25 offset so fitment isn't just about widths. I just wonder why you would want to stuff more on a maxima anyway?

and before anyone gets all pissed off my wife has 10 wide on her I35 and it was just a fender roll and no pull.

 

 

Well I wanna do it because 1 its different, 2 its the only staggered seetup I like (well not the only) the wheel specs is 18x10.5 +20.... just wanted to know how would that look.... I kinda figure a 10" width fits but I never seen anybody go more aggressive

 

i'd do it man. if i find a set of 10.5s w/ the right offset, bet your bottom dollar i'm going to do it. if this guy doesnt pull through w/ these wheels i'm trying to trade for, its a 99% chance i'm buying wheels brand new...two w/ 10.5" widths

 

+1

 

10.5 +22 will need fender work since you can't really camber them in without major work in the rear and in front they will be about 33mm more poke than my wifes. This is her front wheel now.


In the rear they woulld be about 15-20 mm more than that pictures rear wheels.

Now that is an I35 so you may have more fender space in teh wheel well on a Maxima....just not sure.

 

that pic just solidified something for me

 

That car needs to go lower especially with that stretch imo

 

I am rolling on 9.5 with a sprint drop

 

^^^^

looks low for just springs man, nice. can u take more pictures of ur wheel gap?

 

Agreed, but since it is the wife car, she mods it the way she wants it....although it is lower all around then it was in that picture.

 

i thought you was gone... bring himm with you

vvvv

 

lol

 

I can't wait to get my new set of wheels back from my friend painting them!!! aahhhhhhh I want them on my car now!!!

/threadjack

 

Going for wheels this wide for the stretched tire look, poke, and/or being able to "tuck" them when lowered too far? Otherwise I don't really see anything wrong with 8-8.5" and 245-255ish tires that will actually look a bit sporty and even protect the wheels some from curbing.

 

Thats like saying;

"why build a motor for more hp when the speed limit is only 70mph max on the highway? Your just dropping your gas mileage and reducing the effective life of your motor."

or

"why throw a sound system in your car that can pump out 110+ db and risk having your ears bleed? You can hear music just fine with stock speakers"

or

Catch my drift? Here's another way of putting it;

"In the same way that music has different genres that cater to the specific listener, there are different genres of motor sports/vehicular modification that cater to the specific individual."

There is no such thing as a right or wrong style/genre of moding a car. But there sure are bad and good examples of vehicles within that style/genre. The same way that there is no right or wrong genre of music, but again, within that genre, there are better and not so good examples of musical talent.

There are plenty of 10's on 6th gens, myself included.

Check this thread... 10.5's @ +30

i dont think i couldve worded it any better... i had all those size wheels he mentioned and nothing against them they are cool, but i like a more aggressive firtment with a bigger lip thats all... i like a lil bit of show with my go... im sure ssential you know what im tom bout...

6th gens im sure could pull it off.... 5.5's on the other hand is the question.. thought i'd see a random cali owner who i never saw post before pull it off lol

 

if the 5.5 had IRS this thread wouldnt have been here...

 

Stagger fitment on a fwd is a fail in my book considering how it will impact handling.

 

^who in the everlasting **** ALWAYS thinks about handling 100% of the time. who in teh everlasting **** always goes to the cotdamn road course or auto-x all the fukin time stfu with all this 'it will impact handling' and other bull**** and let people do wtf they wana do w/ their cars cotdamn yall are some ignorant ****

 

...
whats crazy is that it doesnt affect handling unless ur a dumb **** and put the wider wheels on the front... as if the G 19's arent staggered lol... even if i did auto-x i most likely wouldnt be riding on those wheels...

 

and thats cool that ppl are against it, makes me like em even more... i got a bunch of questions 4 you... tell me how bad will it affect handling??, will i be driving then all the sudden spin out of controll???, how did your post help me to know if a 10.5" wheel fit on a 5.5???, is your car lowered, if so why do you lower it seeing as though it affects handling?, do you have aftermarket performance parts?, did you know almost all performance parts are made for off road use?, do you auto-x?, why did you lower the car seeing as though the manufacture made it to comply with US specs?

 

thats what i'm saying people act like 100% dumbasses and douches when someone does something to their car that they dont agree with. just stfu and go about your damn day and let people do what they want to. i mean **** its get fukin annoying

reminds me of an idiot that came in my thread talking **** about how low i am, you didnt have to click on my thread and you didnt have to post anything about it, you didnt have to look at my car. its my car, i do wtf i want with it, and ill reap the reprucussions of having it how i have it. its like what manny said in your thread. everybody swears they are cotdamn race car drivers. i went to a drift competition this week and saw a guy drifting this 350...i saw he had work wheels...i'm thinking to myself...this is probably one of the douches that gets on everybody's ******* about getting real wheels, this works, that doesnt but couldnt drift worth a ****.

at the end of the day..stfu and let people do wtf they wana do with THEIR fukin car

This is where you are actually wrong. Now I am not against it and I am not telling individuals not to do it. I could care less since it is not my car. But I have every right to share my thoughts and opinions since this is a public forum..

Putting wider wheels then the front on the rear of a fwd vehicle will result in understeer. There is always a relationship between the front and the rear of a vehicle that dictates the overall behavior of the car. Plus in some cases a little wider at one end or the other will help, depending on the car, but if the difference is dramatic, chances are it's only going to make the car handle worse, not better.

The best handling usually occurs when a car is well balanced.

In the end, its your car and do what you like.

 

o.k lets not get oh so technical as yes on paper it does affect handling *ding ding ding* you won the showcase, now ima say it again hoping you can read between the lines of what im saying... "it doesnt affect handling"......... this is a public forum and i never said you couldnt post, go ahead post it on an internet bolg or in a newspaper if you want, i was just asking a simple yes or no question..... does it help me figuring out if a 10.5 width rim fits a maxima??????????????????????, no need to get defensive...

 

The effect on under steer is minimal and the slight gain in turn in response from stretched tires in minimal in the other direction. All in all the net effect is very slight and therefore negligible if you aren't tracking a car.


and just as it is your opinion that it is a fail because of the effect, it is my opinion that tracking a FWD sedan is a fail so we are even.


I asked for a legitimate reason "what was the point" not hating. If fitting a 10.5+ wider wheel just to say you did it is the reason, then yes it can be done and you will need to do the appropriate work for it, but if you are trying to get an advantage from a wider wheel, then 10 wide is roughly....roughly....the max you would want based on the work and lack of tire sizes you would be able to fit under there. That's all.

 

i dont mind putting a 10" width wheel back there and its not for bragging rights... the wheels i want doesnt come in 18x10 or else id get em... the ones i want are the xxr's with the massive lip... the only way to get the lip is to get the 10.5" width

 

This...


The last guy that gave me a long technical explanation about why staggering a FWD car is 'dumb' got this answer from me; "please explain this to me again the next time you see me at an auto-x event."

 

it only comes in black or gunmetal i believe but i wanted to redo the back to hyper silver and keep the chrome lip.... aint never seen it been done here on a 5.5 for a lip like this so i figured why not asking

 

i get what he is saying, it just doesnt apply... we have a solid beam therefore we are already at a disadvantage so telling me all this cornering stuff isnt saying much... plus it wont afftect the ride dramatically, thats why there is other suspension parts for the rear of our vehicle... im not paying him too much attention as obviously he never owned staggered wheels on a fwd vehicle before

 

^ Just buy the originals instead of the knock offs and you can get them in the sizes you want.

 

what does buying originals opposed to knock offs have to do with getting the size you want?

 

Knock offs only come in a select few sizes so you will have to "compromise" when it comes to fitment. You can get the originals in whatever size you desire.

The main thing I don't like about xxr wheels is all the extra lug holes. It just screams "cheap".

 

ok sorta makes sense...but sometimes we get our calcs off anyway and may have a need for spacer..but thats cool. i really want to do like an 11" wide wheel w/ a +45 offset...i think that'd be pretty hellacious

 

Exactly, and agreed about the extra lug holes too.

 

i dont mind the extra holes for lugs i dont wanna pay a extra 2K for wheels when they look the same... unless im going VIP i dont mind knock offs that is really close

 

There is nothing wrong with knock offs.

For the people who think one should only get authentic or get nothing at all think about this:
What's the point of getting an economy car and supping it up to be like a race car when you can just go get a real race car like a ferrari enzo? It's 600k? Who cares **** knockoffs and get a real sports car right? Exactly, that's where your logic is flawed.
