My Max how it sits this moment..
My max has come a long way from when i first bought it. im not fully proud of it yet but like every car its a work in progress. I most definitely need to get new headlights. im saving for an r34 retrofit and to get my dek fully built before i put it in. Any criticism is welcome, in the end its what im comfortable with. now for the pics!

225/45, but have run 215/45's and that would be the smallest i would ever run with those. 225/45's are safer and dont rub for me but if i put 235's ill be rubbing a little bit

Props on trying to be different, but I dont think the lip works on a black car. If the car was white, it would look good, but it's clashing alot in my opinion. Finishing the rest of the kit and closing the wheel gap will bring the car together alot better.

I like the sticker bombed lip. Nice ride. That wheel lip looks MEAN! how are 9.5s in the front as far as ride? I always said 8.5 is the widest I'd go in the front cause I'm not a big fan of the streched tire look... but it looks pretty good on yours.

Lol believe it or not it's lowered on ksport springs with agx's. But as I'm told in 3 days my coilovers will be here. I figure rock chips can happen even with the lip painted and since this was basically a lifetime guarantee hook up from my friend I figure why not. I've bounced back and forth between the idea of painting it white or repainting it black with a blue pearle. That's later on though.

9.5's up front are no problem. I still havent rolled the fenders but that's because I want to go lower and with the coilovers I can adjust the camber for the front. The rubbing only comes from the rear. Turning is no problem at all. It is a vinyl wrap from a shop here in Md that custom makes signs. They get some ideas from you on what you want or you can draw your own and they will put it together and it is actually a rather strong material almost rubber based and they use this heavy duty adhesive. So far and I have scraped quite a few times it's still like day one and either way it's cheap to get done again for me even if it gets old.

I agree 100% it needs to be sitting paper thin to the ground and it will look 10x better. i would sell the agx's but i have someone who already wants my suspension when i take it off. the problem with the sticker bomb lip was that i have some middle schooler's in my neighborhood with some sticky fingers where as with this it is a lot harder to get off...although i could redo it in this material, i just chose to do something different but i can easily change it up as much as i want. as soon as the coilovers are on it will be laid on the ground. ill have pics for that as soon as i get the coilovers and have the time to put them on and take pics..work has me crazy busy!

I'm saying directly from xxr where I personally purchased them they were $400/set shipped from cali to MD in an 18x9.5. The size you probably saw was the 17x8 but thanks everybody for your inputs.

Wheels are ok, but definitely look alot better once you got rid of the wheel gap. Not into the lip at all.
