Im definetly getting Evo 5's but I just cant decide on 17's or 18's ?? I want performance still but 18's look so dam* sick on a Maxima...I have sprints already so wheelgap isnt an issue..and another reason I dont wanna get 18's is the tires are expensive and there heavy

-Matt
what ya think

 

how are the roads around your area??? if they are good 18s are fine

otherwise stick with 17s

 

Get 18's. I had 17's and they looked kinda small for hte max, so I ended up getting 18's. Tires for 17 vs 18's aren't that bad.

 

i just won some 19x8.5 on ebay for $910 shipped can't wait to see what they look like on my stock springs. I'm broke now.

 

What is the weight and cost difference, if its not that bad, go with the 18's. Or you can stick with the stock 16's like my poor @ss

get 18"s.....i wish i had

 

This question is asked every other day...

 

definitely 18's. don't worry so much about performance when discerning between 17's and 18's unless you've got a lot going on under the hood.

 

1. Got my NEW 17's LOOK PICS.......

civics/altimas/etc. roll by in 18's/ import show...all cars sport 18's

2. Dam* I knew I should have got 18's (sorry long thread)......

3. FOR SALE 17's like brand new (pics)....

 

True true...just save yourself the hassle and get 18's now

 

Or get 17's if you like them.

 

Im lookin at the TSW Revo's 18x8's there sick...http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...=190512&page=1

Would the performance be really bad with the 18's compared to 17's ?? I want the 18's kinda

-Matt
and i got the money

 

If you want the 18's, get the 18's.

 

you'll regret not getting the 18's

 

I just bought some 18 x 7.5's offset 42mm, can't wait for the spring. I too have no money now after buying rims/tires, so I'll be stock height for a bit, it will probably look nasty, but I've got a body kit which should make the car look lower. Or, it could add to the nastiness. Oh well.. we'll see.

 

look at my sig.....body kit, 17"s, and no drop....yet

 

Yeah, and your car doesn't look all that bad, however, I have the ionic kit, with the sideskirts that go lower than stillen's, but also will the 18's add to wheel gap, or decrease it some? thanks

if you get the right size tires, gap should be the same. it just appears bigger as the rim size goes up.

 

what size tires should i get with rims being 18 x 7.5, with an offset of 42?

 

if you have a turbo wouldn't it be a better idea to go with 17X8's?

thank you!

 

No offence, but nothing could look nastier than those hub caps, so i'm sure that your car will look much better regardless, although the drop would finish it off very nicely...

 

Dude, you're already spending money, so why not go two sizes up and get 18's...Just my 02 cents!

 

I know that pic makes the car look like ****.. but im keeping it there, until the spring so i have a before and after shot for my sig. That pic was taken the first day the car arrived at my house, so I wanted a pic to remember what I started with. Already I added some little cosmetic things such as stillen/ionic body kit, 25% tints, clears, ill be doing red/clears and the rims for spring. I havn't done that much performance besides intake, but i dont have any money, it's coming along slowly.

 

17s are too small these days, matt..

a lot of the 18s are pretty heavy but think of the compromise..

is it better to be a tiny bit faster or look 10 times better



i'll be going with 18s myself... even though roads around here are terrible..
