wassup - if i get intrax w/ a 2" drop and 18" wheels...is it safe? are speed bumps and sharp turning a problem? i've seen a 5th gen w/ 19"s bagged w/ the rear wheels tucked in the wheel well, is that JUST cuz he has bags? it looks phat though.

You should be ok. I got intrax with 16"s but im getting 18"s for xmas and you should have no problem. What size tires are you running? I have 225 width on my current wheels and i have a little rubbing but i think my offset on the wheels isnt correct! Also intrax isnt 2" drop its 1.8"!

 

Wheel offset, width and tire width are going to determine how far you can drop it.

 

i know this has been discussed before but while we are talking rims
intrax drop + 2k2 rims +2k2 stock tires = ok, safe, will i tuck?

 

don't think so

 

You can go as you want. The question is will you be able to get back into acceptable alignment. But I doubt you thought of that

 

im as low as you can realistically go without dooing some serious work. i just start to tuck rim in the back(my pics in the homepage dont have the back all the way down, and i tuck half the tire in the front. 3rd gens are tough to tuck. keep in mind i have dros and cant drive the car slammed( i can move it, but my roll bar is hairs from the floor). also keep in mind what jeff said, u can never get your alignment the same again.

 

i dont want to sound like a retard but it happens,
when u say the alignment wont be the same do u that it will drift to the side or do u mean it wont keep its alignment or basicly what do u mean? And i all ready got the intrax im ordering kyb sturts and cbass(a5th gen member) might let me barrow his 2k2 rims this summer will i rub in back or front because the tire look bigger??????

 

i means the 3rd gen has a limited camber adjustment, whick will cause the inside of your wheels to wear if not correct. the lower it is the more camber the quicker the wear

 

so, would a 1.8" drop w/ intrax screw up your cambers or casters?

 

AND TOE

 

are there any camber kits available for the max. b/c i'm planning to get 18's with a decent drop (thinking of intrax)...

 

a little off topic, but i heard that intrx springs drop the car low, but i also heard that they settle a lot too. so, after the springs settles, how low is it????

 

I have some bolts that replace your stock ones and allow for more camber adjustment. It's probably just enough to counter any problems you may have with Intrax or Sprint springs. E-mail me if you need them. Also, you won't rub with 2K2 rims. When they guys talk about rubbing, they don't mean the top of the wheel with the top of the wheel well. They mean the inside of the rim with the shock housing or something in there. That is where the offset comes in to play. Otherwise, you could fit 20s on a Maxima. 17s aren't gonna be a problem if the offset is right, and it is if they came off a 2K2 or another Maxima 1989+.
